This set is absolutely adorable!  The little hedgehog is so sweet!  Although I created this card for a "thinking of you" card- it could also be used as a Valentine.

#tgifc195 Inspiration Challenge - Disney Style!


Hey there stampers!  Welcome back for another TGIF Challenge!  Our challenge today is All about Disney!  We are each making cards inspired by our favorite Disney characters.  Who is your favorite character?


Winnie the Pooh is my favorite Disney character so it's only fitting that my card be created in honor of Pooh.  


Everyone knows that that silly old bear loves hunny so a card with a bee hive was in order.  Creating the beeswax was super simple using Hexagons Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.
Since Pooh always seems to find trouble while searching for hunny- I have added a few bees in the mix.


As you can see from the picture above- the bees are dimensional.  To create this look- I simply stamped, die cut and colored 2 bees for each finished bee.  Using a Stampin' Dimensional- I carefully layered one bee on top of the next.  A few layers of Clear Wink of Stella were added to make the bees sparkle.  


Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you'll play along with our challenge this week!

Product list:  
Card Stock:  Whisper White, Crushed Curry
Inks:  VersaMark, Tuxedo Black, Dark Pool Party Stampin' Blend, Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blend
Stamps:  Labeler Alphabet, Dragonfly Dreams
Tools/other supplies:  Pearl Basic Jewels, Clear Wink of Stella, Big Shot, Hexagons Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder

Thanks for stopping by!  Happy Stampin'!

Monday Montage #130





Hello there stampin' friends!  Happy New Year!  Welcome back to our Monday Montage blog hop!

Do you ever just fall in love with a stamp set that you didn't think you'd actually like?  That's exactly what happened to me with the Incredible Like You Stamp Set.

It's not that I didn't "like" the stamp set- it's just that I have a TON of floral stamp sets that I don't use very often and I wasn't sure how much I would actually use it.  Honestly- it's now one of my go to sets!


Part of what makes this stamp set so fun is all of the different floral elements.  There's lots of flowers, leafy images, stems and sweet sentiments.

#tgifc193 Color Challenge: Melon Mambo, Lemon Lime Twist, Smoky Slate/Silver

Hey there stampers!  Welcome to my first post of the New Year!  I'm so excited to share that I have joined the amazing design team at TGIF Challenges!  I cannot wait for you to see all of the gorgeous creations this week!



My card tonight is- for the most part, a CAS card.  I was really trying for the #simplestamping effect but couldn't resist adding a few extra embellishments.  


The stamped images are from the brand new Incredible Like You Stamp Set from the Occasions Catalog.  In the stamp set- the stem image is actually pretty short. To make the stem longer- I simply stamped the stem twice (one just slightly above the other).  The DSP shown is from the Gingham Gala 6" x 6" DSP stack and it is super cute!  

Product list:  
Card Stock:  Whisper White, Smoky Slate
DSP:  Gingham Gala
Inks:  Smoky Slate, Lemon Lime Twist, Melon Mambo
Stamps:  Incredible Like You
Tools/other supplies:  Pearl Basic Jewels, Whisper White 5/8" Polka Dot Trim, Silver Mini Sequin Trim

Thanks for stopping by!  Happy Stampin'!
