Fall Favorites

Hi everyone! As most of you know, the 2018 Holiday Catalog will be launching in just a few days. I'm so excited to share with you my two favorite Autumn sets from the new catalog.

Country Lane Suite
and
Falling for Leaves Bundle



When first looking through the new catalog these were two sets that immediately caught my eye. I will admit, I was so in love with Falling for Leaves, but I really struggled coming up with designs that did the bundle justice! Good thing there's no harm in CASEing the catalog and other people's Pinterests! I am in awe of the big leaf stamp and die. The patterns in the stamps and dies are totally my style.




The Country Lane Suite is absolutely gorgeous. I love the farmhouse look of the stamps and the DSP. The sentiments in the set are versatile, so you can use them for practically any occasion. The chicken wire elements are also a fun touch to add more texture to the projects!





Along with Country Lane, I also made my first investment in some Stampin' Blends. I was skeptical about them at first because I am fine just using ink and the blender pens, but I LOVE THEM! They're actually a lot easier to use than I thought, and I love the more dimensional look it gives to the color of the image. I was SO impressed that I could create images as beautiful as these!






My next class will be Autumn themed, and I am excited to share these products with everyone! I know they will be just as amazed by them as I was!

Forever Lovely Birthday

I know a lot of people who have February birthdays, so be prepared for lots of fun birthday cards over the next month! This is just the first of many! Don't get me wrong, I love prepping for my classes and creating cards that everybody is going to enjoy making and giving to the people they love. But sometimes I feel like I don't use half of my supplies because I can't use them all during my classes! I really enjoyed making this more intricate, super fun card for a person I know whose personality fits this card perfectly! Just full of light and beauty! I loved the feeling of making a card specifically for a special person in my life. Because I have like four shoe drawers full of cards, I always just end up picking one out when an occasion comes up. This year I want to make more personalized cards for the people I love! Here is the card! Isn't it so fun?? Here are some details of the card. I used some extra pieces I had from my Stamp Camp that was a week ago and...

Enjoy Life

Today I'm going to tell you about the new set Enjoy Life. I first heard about this set at OnStage Milwaukee, and I fell in love with the set and the story behind it immediately. The person who designed this set is from my home state, Wisconsin. At OnStage, she shared the story behind this set and how it came to be. It resonated with me, and I realized that stamping has always been more than just paper and glue. It creates connections between people. It is therapy. It commemorates good times and bad. This set was designed by Connie Fitzgerald and represents both of her incredible children. Through her speech, I could feel her passion towards creativity and her love for not just stamping but for people and for life. She is truly inspirational, and I hope I give Enjoy Life the justice it deserves. Here is what I created using Enjoy Life. I used Crumb Cake cardstock as the base and added a layer of the new color Mossy Meadow. Then I stamped the images from the set onto ...

Happy GALentine's Day!

Valentine's Day is right around the corner, and my first ever Valentine's Day Stamp Camp is coming up this Friday! I'm so excited for my first stamp camp of the year. I can't wait to show you the rest of the cards we'll have made. I will be posting them after class! This is just a sneak peak. 😉 While it's fun to give your significant other a card and maybe a small gift for Valentine's Day, I also love celebrating friendships around this time of year. Valentine's Day is for celebrating everyone you love, so why not send a card to a friend???  This card was made using products from the All My Love Suite which is in the new Occasions Catalog and my NEW Stamparatus! I'm so happy I finally got one!  The flowers and foliage in this card are so much easier to stamp using the Stamparatus. Being able to have everything aligned so you know you will have a perfect product every time is simply amazing- especially for a perfectionist like me! He...
