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 myself today! (Is that even a thing...???)

I really let the paper do the work for this card. It was very minimal stamping and simply just layering different colors and patterns of paper to achieve a unique look. I also used the Botanical Bliss set and Botanical Tags thinlits to add a little extra sparkle!

Here is the card! I hope you enjoy!



Here is the new stamp set! This will be available in the new Annual Catalog that comes out in June.

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 ...

First Frost Ornaments

I have one more project to show you all using the First Frost Bundle and the Labeler Alphabet stamp set. I am so excited to tell you all about this project! Last year before Christmas, I was searching on Pinterest and came across some cute ornaments that I knew I could recreate with the help of my boyfriend, Joe, who is a woodworker. He helped me make them, and I stamped words on them using my Labeler Alphabet set. When I was decorating my tree this year, I found them and fell in love with them all over again. A few days before I decorated my tree, Joe was asking me what I think he should make as gifts for people for Christmas, and when I remembered I had these ornaments, I said we should make some more sets of them. So, we made a bunch of sets of our ornaments to give to family and friends for the holidays. After we made them, I was thinking about how we would package them to give as gifts. I saw some cute Christmas boxes and tins at Hobby Lobby, but Joe reminded me that the point...

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 ...
