If you order and get the card kit this week, everything will be die cut for you, and you can still order the stamp set if you'd like. 

 

Make sure you watch the video, because one of the cards has a big surprise inside! You can watch the class here:

The Stamping Station: Inspired by Texture

 

It's time for The Stamping Station blog hop, and this month's theme is Inspired by Texture. I've been using products from the Homemade Sweetness Suite Collection all week, and I just can't stop crafting with them! I used the stamps, dies, Designer Series Paper, and embossing folder on my card today.

 

I've added texture in several places on my card:

• embossing the Strawberry Slush layer with the Ladybug Picnic 3D Embossing Folder
• curling the edges of the cardstock
• tearing the Designer Series Paper layers
• folding the ribbon (this was a little fussy, but I LOVE how it turned out!)

Here is a full list of products used on this card:

Stamps: Filled with Sweetness

Ink: Versamark

Paper: Strawberry Slush, Basic White, Homemade Sweetness Designer Series Paper

Embellishments: Pearlized Faceted Circles, Strawberry Slush 3/8" Faux Linen Ribbon

Tools: Basics Wow! Embossing Powder, Heat Tool, Ladybug Picnic 3D Embossing Folder, Filled with Sweetness Dies, Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine

Adhesives: Stampin' Seal+, Stampin' Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots, Mini Stampin' Dimensionals, Multipurpose Liquid Glue

#TGIFC567: You're the Sweetest

The color challenge at TGIF Challenges this week has me thinking spring! 

 

I've used the Filled with Sweetness Bundle to create my card, along with the pretty floral Fresh Freesia pattern from the Lovely & Beautiful Designer Series Paper.

 

Do you recognize the lemon? It's from another bundle that coordinates with the Filled with Sweetness Bundle - the Made with Sweetness Bundle. Say all of that 5 times fast! The Made with Sweetness Bundle is meant more for scrapbooking, but it has some fun fruit die-cuts that work well with this large jar. I've colored the textured lemon wedge with the Dark Lemon Lolly Stampin' Blends Marker for some contrast.

 

Here is a full list of products used on my card today:

Stamps: Filled with Sweetness

Ink: Lemon Lolly, Versamark

Stampin' Blends Markers: Dark Lemon Lolly

Paper: Fresh Freesia, Lemon Lolly, Pool Party, Lovely & Beautiful Specialty DSP

The Stamping Station: Layers of Love

It's time for this month's hop from The Stamping Station design team! You may remember from last month that the Creation Station and Stamping Sunday groups have merged, and this month we are debuting our new name and logo. This month's theme is Layers of Love, and I think you're going to be inspired by all of our projects!

 

For my project, I've used a brand new paper that will be released on March 3 - the Delicate Dreams Specialty Designer Series Paper. It has a beautiful bronze foil, and a sneak peek of a new In Color called Hydrangea Hue! I had a lot of fun with this theme, adding lots of little details and layers to my card. 

 

Some of my favorite details:

• the white layer embossed with the Lovely Stripes 3D Embossing Folder
• those beautiful corner die cuts from the Beautifully Celebrated Dies
• the flowers and greenery fussy cut from the Delicate Dreams paper
• the Rhinestones colored with the Bronze Stampin' Blends Marker to match the paper

Be sure to hop along and see what the rest of the team has created. Their projects are sure to inspire you!

 

Happy Stamping!
