Congrats to the rest of the dt. I’m excited to work with you!  Here’s one of the layouts I created for the design team call.

So Glad

Lately I’ve been having fun with some Hero Arts stamps and thought I’d go for a simple look on this card.Wanting to see how the new Distress Ink colors lined up against my old favorite, Shabby Shutters, I stamped the leaves in the different inks. If you’re looking for how the new ink colors look, the top left leave stamped under the “so” is the original Shabby Shutters. I’m loving the two new greens I tried as well. Bundled Sage is the small maple leaf and the top right oak leaf is stamped in Crushed Olive.

Supply list: Huge Hugs and Leaf Prints by Hero Arts,  Distress Inks by Ranger, Jet Black Archival Ink by Ranger, Simply Smooth White cardstock by CHF, Brad by Basic Grey, sewing machine

Happy creating!

13 more days…

…until Spring!

Hooray! Of course that’s just the official date of spring on the calendar. Here in Ontario we usually get snow into April but that’s OK. I know that warmer days are coming.

I was playing around with some scraps on my desk and decided to try out a new stamp that I’ve had sitting here, just waiting to be inked. It’s one of the new Hero Arts Clings and my first time trying one out. I have to say I’m hooked. Yummy red rubber and I love how easy it is to use.

Happy Spring

I had bits and pieces of these sweet Jenni Bowlin papers left over from Thursday’s card so I thought I’d put them to good use instead of throwing them out. 1″x4″ size pieces are really not worth putting away. I’m loving the bright happy colors of this Front Porch line and added rows of Stickle dots to the stamped image to highlight the scallops. The stitched butterfly is part of a Printable Pierceable file created for Every Thing Creative. I just printed the template onto some printer paper, cut out the butterfly and laid it over my layer. Simply pierce and then stitch with embroidery floss.

Supply List: Front Porch 4×4 patterned papers and Vintage Style Button Jenni Bowlin, Write You Own Cling Stamp by Hero Arts,  Black Archival Ink by Ranger, Tiny Type Letters by Cosmo Cricket, Simply Smooth White cardstock by Cornish Heritage Farms, twine, embroidery floss, Printable Piercing Basics Template by Every Thing Creative, Christmas Red Stickles by Ranger

Thanks for stopping by!
