Spring Has Sprung

I decided to enter the challenge at the Paper Players this week since the design in my head for the next scrapbook club fit in to their challenge.  Perfect!!!  :)  Thanks Ann, you read my mind.

Here is the sketch:

Here is my version of this sketch:

I would like to thank my friend Erin Gonzalez for inspiring me to do the layered scallops.  She's done this on quite a few of her latest projects and it adds such an attractive look with lots of color.  

I used the Tasteful Trim die cut for the scalloped layers and the Flower Folds die cut for that fluffy flower.  I stamped the Marina Mist background with one of the flower stamps from the Mixed Bunch set.  Cute page....ready for Easter.  On the second page of this layout I think I'll do either a bunny or a cross...probably a cross.  I'll post the second page later.   :)

Ingredients:

Colors:  Marina Mist, Regal Rose, Lucky Limeade, So Saffron, Very Vanilla, Peach Parfait

Stamps:  Mixed Bunch

Accessories:  Top Note, Tasteful Trim and Flower Folds dies, Subtles Button, Bakers Twine, Celery Satin Ribbon

Happy Stamping,

HSS #111

It's Easter time at Hand Stamped Sentiments!!

I wanted to make a card, but it turned into a tag.  I think it would make a nice adornment for a gift bag or basket. This was inspired by a card we made at my last upline's demo group meeting.  Thanks to Lis Ljung for the inspiration!! 

I felt like the stamped image needed some pop, so I painted on a little shimmer paint over the colored in dove.  I also sponged all over the tag and the embossed frame with Early Espresso Ink.

Ingredients:

Colors:  Baja Breeze, Crumb Cake, So Saffron, Very Vanilla,  Early Espresso

Stamps: Easter Dove

Accessories:  Victoria Crochet Trim, Crumb Cake Taffeta and Seam Binding ribbon, Baja Breeze Pleated Ribbon, Basic Pearls, Designer Frames embossing folder, Corner Rounder punch, Frost White shimmer paint  Decorative Label Punch, XL Oval punch

Happy Stamping,

Krista

Water Works

No, my friends, this post is not about the game of Monopoly....nor have I been crying a lot.  It's all about watercoloring over at Hand Stamped Sentiments this week.  Get out your Aqua Painters or paint brushes and start water coloring!!

Here is my entry for the week:

I have been in need of baby cards to go along with gifts.  So I have these cute, simple little 3"x3" gift cards made up in a variety of colors.  

I heat embossed the cuddly little bear with black embossing powder.  I like to do that, especially when I am using water colors.  It helps the paint to not bleed into the other sections of the stamped image.  It also makes for crisp lines that don't bleed either.

Ingredients:
Colors-  Baja Breeze, Pretty In Pink, So Saffron, Certainly Celery, Basic Black, Whisper White
Stamps- Bear Hugs
Accessories-  Black Embossing Powder, Heat Tool, Versamark Pad, Ink Refills, Aqua Painter, Stazon Black ink

Happy Stamping,

Somewhere Over the Rainbow...

Now I've got that song in my head....."that's where you'll find me!!"  Hee hee!  Click your heels together to get to Hand Stamped Sentiments for this week's challenge and proclaim there's no place like home!!

We're not in Kansas anymore Toto!!  We're hopping on the next balloon flight from OZ back home with this card!  This fancy fold is called a center step card.  You can find the instructions here on Split Coast Stampers.

(Honestly, I wish I could take full credit for the design of this card, but I saw a similar card on Stampin' Connection and was inspired by the stamper named Linda Creech.)

Here is another angle of my card.  I used the stamp set called Up, Up and Away.  Perfect, right?!  We will be making this card and 3 others at my next class. 

Ingredients:
Colors:  Real Red, Daffodil Delight, Tangerine Tango, Pacific Point, Old Olive, Whisper White, Basic Gray and Chocolate Chip
Stamps:  Up, Up and Away
Accessories:  Simply Scored Scoring Tool, Paper Trimmer, 2 1/2" Scallop Circle Punch, Boho Blossoms Punch

HSS Color Challenge #108

Get out your brights and your browns 'cause we are challenging you with color this week at Hand Stamped Sentiments!!

I wanted to do something simple that I can duplicate over and over.  I used some products from the Occasions mini and, of course, the buttons are FREE with your Saleabration order.  

I stamped the Mixed Bunch Flower in Daffodil Delight and punched it out.  I also framed it off with another punched flower then one more punched out in Soft Suede.  Makes it kind of look like a shadow.

I wanted to add a touch of the red with the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border punch and the red button and stamped greeting on the tag.

To finish it off, I spritzed the Crumb Cake background with the Soft Suede marker and Spritzer Tool.

SIMPLE, SWEET, CUTE and DEMONSTRATABLE!!  :)

Happy Stamping!!!
