Mountain Fresh Air

I could practically smell the fresh mountain air as I created this card for the latest Mail It Monday.  Scenic Adventure is the bundle for you if you love the great and beautiful outdoors!

Inspired by the latest Freshly Made Challenges Sketch and my favorite view of Mount Saint Helens, this card came to life...layer by layer.

Mountains in shades of Secret Sea and Cloud Cover, a row of Mossy Meadow pine trees, a crisp Azure Afternoon lake, some Granny Apple Green plants and some Blackberry Bliss Thoughtful Journey flowers helped to create this majestic mountain scene. 

Our family gets to enjoy a view like this every summer, surround by friends we call family.  It is our chance to truly just breath and take it slow...something I look forward to every year!

Happy Stamping!

Friends Are The Family...

It's time for a pretty new Hand Stamped Sentiments Color Challenge! 

I had some fun with some new products for this card!

The You are Remarkable flowers are so pretty stamped in Fresh Freesia and Soft Sea Foam. A Summer Splash card base with a fun Glass & Gardens embossed layer adds a big pop of color.  I added a strip of Fresh Freesia Beautiful Bokeh along with a strip of Soft Sea Foam, stamped tone on tone with the floral image to tie the colors all together. 

 An Around It All circle of Botanical Textures was the perfect background for this bouquet of flowers. I colored the leaves in Soft Sea Foam and added a few Fresh Freesia dots as well. 

I love this sentiment from Pattern of Friendship.  Friends are the family you choose for yourself.  I know just who this card is being sent to!  The Shades of Green Hexagons were perfect the perfect way to finish off this card...just the right amount of bling!

Happy Stamping!

Pretty Patterned Paper

 

It's time for another Use Your Stash InstaHop! This month we are using Pretty Patterned Paper...and I have TONS in my stash!

I pulled out the True Love DSP to create this pretty Mother's Day card for my very own momma.  I love the classy black and white designs in the pack of paper!

I colored one of the floral images in Petal Pink, as well as a few of the tiny flowers in the background.  With a little help from this weeks Freshly Made Sketches Challenge, I pulled in a bit more Petal Pink.

A stamped sentiment from She's The Greatest and a few Low Profile Dots helped to complete the card.

Follow along over on Instagram to see what everyone else has pulled from their stash!

She's The Greatest

This week's TGIF Challenges Sketch Challenge was just the inspiration I needed to get a card made for Mother's Day!  Join in the fun and play along!

What do you call a card that uses 3 different stamp sets?  A $100 card!  But that's why we have so many stamp sets...so we can create fun cards like this!  

I stared with the Painted Stripes as my background...which is my new favorite, if you haven't already guessed!  Next I stamped and colored these tiny little flowers from She's The Greatest and tucked them around some Around It All die cut circles from  the Floral Delight DSP.

The larger circles needed a bigger sentiment, so I stamped the Happy Birthday from the Simple Birthday stamp set and fussy cut just the Happy.  I stamped Mother's Day, from She's the Greatest, in Daffodil Delight to complete the sentiment.

A little bit of white twine and some Antique Pearls completed the card.

Wishing all of the momma's out there a Happy Mother's Day this weekend!

Zipping By with Monday Montage

Happy Monday!  Our Monday Montage crew is back with another fabulous InstaHop!  Head on over to Instagram to see what we have in store this week!

Our very own Wendy and Cheryl visited me this past weekend and we stamped our hearts out!  We swapped and shared our stamps and dies and had the BEST time!

I didn't think I needed the All Zipped Up bundle, but after playing with these fun stamps and dies...well, lets just say they have found their way into my cart!

I cased the online sample of this card, switching out a few elements to make it my own. The Cloud Cover stamp pads might not be available yet, but that's not going to stop me from using the paper.  This color is so pretty and I love it paired up with Darling Ducking and Strawberry Slush!

Isn't the zipper the best?  So super cute!

In addition to visiting some of Wendy and Cheryl's favorite Walla Walla attractions and spending time in the kitchen preparing delicious meals, we spend a lot of time in my craft room.  My heart is happy and full!  Love these friends!

Happy Stamping!
