An Inspiring Day - Hearts a Flutter

Good morning, Friends! I hope you are ready to be inspired by the RemARKable Stampers! This month we are featuring the Hearts a Flutter stamp set! If you are a regular visitor of my blog, you know that I love this stamp set!! And today I have a super simple card to show you using this set! Take a look!

The Raspberry Ripple piece is adhered to a card base of Crumb Cake. On another piece of Crumb Cake I stamped the outline heart image three times using the help of my stamp-a-ma-jig. Below the hearts I stamped the greeting from Teeny Tiny Wishes in Raspberry Ripple. Then I stamped the solid heart image onto a piece of Very Vanilla in Raspberry Ripple and cut it out. This is popped up onto the panel and the panel is then popped up onto the card. Super easy!!

An Inspiring Day - Affection Collection

Good morning, Friends! Welcome to the RemARKably Inspiring blog tour! This month the RemARKable stampers group are going to show you all some great projects using the stamp set, Affection Collection. What a beautiful stamp set that is very versatile! I was excited to purchase this set but once I got it, I had some difficulty in trying to figure out how to use it - lol! I am more the clean and simple stamper and this set calls for the more shabby chic style. I love and very much respect those stampers who can easily do the shabby chic!! You all are my heroes!! So I went searching and studying the style of shabby chic. Then I went to work and this is what emerged! And I quite like it!

I took a piece of the First Edition designer paper and stamped images from the Affection Collection stamp set in black StazOn, Crumb Cake and Pool Party. Then I sponged the edges with Crumb Cake and roughed up the edges with some tearing and distressing. This is adhered to a piece of Basic Black. Then I wrapped a piece of Victoria crochet trim around this that was tinted with some Crumb Cake ink and a sponge. I popped this up onto a card base of Crumb Cake that was also sponged with Crumb Cake ink. I stamped the banner in Pool Party onto Very Vanilla and cut it out. This is tucked under the bronze button that is tied with some linen thread. Then I stamped the "friend" in black StazOn onto Primrose Petals and punched it out with the Modern Label punch and sponged it with some Crumb Cake ink and popped it up onto the card. The last thing left to do was to add two pearls and call it done!

Time to send you on to the beautiful blog of Tamra Davis! I know you will be inspired by what she has to share! Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!

An Inspiring Day - Winter Memories

Hello everyone! I am participating in something new for the next few months! The stamp group that I am a part of is doing a blog tour featuring a certain stamp set each month! How cool is that!! So you will be able to take a tour of several different blogs that will showcase a certain stamp set and get a TON of ideas! I love it!! This month we are featuring the stamp set, Winter Memories. I loved this set when I first saw it in the Holiday mini catalog! The ice skates in the set is what first caught my eye! But my card today shows another image from the same set. Take a look!

Isn't this image beautiful? I love how elegant it is! I ran a piece of shimmer white card stock through the Big Shot using the Northern Flurry embossing folder. Then I stamped the image in black StazOn and colored it in with various ink colors and a blender pen. Then I adhered this to a piece of Crumb Cake and then popped up this panel onto a card base of Cherry Cobbler. Then I stamped the sentiment in black StazOn onto a strip of Whisper White and flagged one end before adhering it to the card. Finally, I added a pearl to the center of the bow on the image. Very simple!! And very mailable!! 

Now it's time to send you on to the next blog! Tamra Davis will be your next stop! I hope you enjoy the tour and will come back next month to see what we will be featuring! Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!
