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!

First Frost

Hi everyone! Long time, no see. I had such a busy semester that I have not been keeping up with my blog like I've wanted to. That doesn't mean I haven't been busy stamping! Now that I'm done with school for about a month, my goal is to catch up on sharing everything I've been up to! Christmas is just around the corner, and I wanted to take some time to share a few of my favorite projects with you all. The First Frost Clear-Mount Bundle from the Frosted Floral Suite was something that caught my eye immediately when I first looked through the Holiday Catalog. And sure enough... almost all of my projects that I have done for Christmas have used this bundle! I will share a few of them here. Here are four cards I created with this bundle. What I love about the products in this suite is that you have the freedom to create more than just Christmas cards. The first picture was the card I sent out to friends and family for the Holidays, but it could really be used for

Current Favorites

It's been almost a month since I've made a blog post, so let me tell you about my new favorite color combo. I have been using variations of this combination of colors in all of my projects for the last like week, and I didn't even notice it until now! I also am still very obsessed with the Nature's Poem Suite as you can probably tell. The images and sentiments in the stamp set are versatile enough that I find I am using them on many of the cards I have made lately. I also went camping with my boyfriend the weekend after the 4th of July, so that inspired me as well. Nature is always my go-to source for inspiration! The colors are: Crumb Cake Mint Macaron Petal Pink Grapefruit Grove Here are all of the projects that I've made using these colors. Grapefruit Grove and Crumb Cake Petal pink, mint macaron, and some Nature's Poem DSP I hope you've enjoyed checking out a few of my projects using some of my current favorite colors and go-

Genuine Gems

I had such a fun time at OnStage in Minneapolis this past weekend, and I just HAD to play with one of my new stamp sets when I got home! As some of you know, I haven't been great at keeping up with my stamping lately because I have been finishing up my undergrad degree, my grandmother recently passed away, and life is throwing some other curveballs at me right now. It's been difficult to get back into stamping, which is a shame because it truly is my self-care. Part of getting better physically and mentally means getting back into my stamping room more often! I'm glad that OnStage gave me some motivation this weekend. So anyway... how fitting that for my Prize Patrol at OnStage, I got a stamp set full of sympathy sentiments! The new set, which will be available in the NEW 2019-2020 ANNUAL CATALOG, is called Genuine Gems. I'm not one for making a lot of sympathy cards, but I love the sentiments in this set! I used a few of the stamps from this set to make a card for
