If you want a set that is so versatile for just about any occasion.....check out Everyday Doodles. This is one of my favorite sets!

I created a CAS card using the bloom and leaves images from this set. What I love is that the images are meant to not line up. This makes creating a CAS super easy!! I added my flowers to a scored note card and embellished with clear droplets. The sentiment fit perfectly in the scored lines and is from All Inside stamp set.....which while you are over at Ellen Hutson, check out that adorable set too!

Crafty Friends Blog Hop featuring Concord & 9th

Welcome!

Check below for a code to use at Concord & 9th for TWO days only!!

Click HERE to shop!

Concord & 9th is known for their Turnabout Stamps. I've used two of them for my cards.

Visit the Concord &9th website and choose videos to see how to use these stamps.

Flower Patch is one of my favorites. After stamping the images in four different Lawn Fawn colors (I kept them soft and pretty), the panel was trimmed down and added to a white note card. To soften the card for my bold die cut flower, I added a layer of vellum. Hard to see in the photo but perfect in real life. The sentiment strip was die cut and added with foam adhesive.

*********************************************************************

The next Turnabout I used is Everyday Bouquet. This set is a part of the Everyday Bouquet Turnabout Toolkit. This Turnabout is a mini version. I chose bold bright colors and kept the sentiment simple by stamping it in the center of the square die cut from the matching die set.

Crafty Friends Blog Hop featuring Honey Bee Stamps

Welcome!

Click HERE to shop!

I have a few rainbow inspired cards to share using many different products from Honey Bee Stamps! Thank you Melissa and Lisa for letting me share my projects!

My first card uses the Radiant Circle Background Die. I thought it would be fun to off set my colorful rainbow to the right side. I die cut the Radiant Circle into my cardstock but only half way. I added my rainbow stripes (I only used 5 of the stripes from Rainbow Wishes Dies) right justified along with a cloud. I'm in love with these clouds! They die cut a tiny outline that you can either use or toss! For a sentiment, I used one from Thanks a Bunch. The font in this set is large and beautiful! As a finishing touch, I spritzed the card with Shimmer Spritz.

*********************************************************************

For my second card, I used more of the rainbows from Rainbow Wishes and Dies. I stamped the burst image onto my white notecard and used that for the base of my rainbow. I added 2 foam adhesive clouds and then stamped the big bold sentiment!

As a finishing touch, I added in some coordinating tiny die cut hearts and spritzed the whole card with Shimmer Spritz.

Crafty Friends Blog Hop featuring Pinkfresh Studio

Welcome!

It's time for the Crafty Friends Blog Hop! We’re a group of amazing stampers that share similar paths…and we want to share our crafty projects with you! We’ll be hopping each month featuring a specific company or brand…and this month’s favorite is Pinkfresh Studio! I have to thank my friend, Caly Person, for the use of this stamp set recently and for her beautiful handwriting skills on my watermark. Thank you Caly!!!

Check below for a code to use at Pinkfresh Studio for TWO days only!!

The Layered Bouquet stamp set is gorgeous and just simple enough with two layers for the flowers. I find die cutting the image and then stamping (using my Misti) makes lining up this set effortless. I stamped my blooms in shades of blue ink and added in some glitter to the highlighted parts. My bouquet was added to a stitched panel (from a different company) and a black Hello die cut was added . Simple and easy!

Supplies:

Layered Bouquet

We’ll be hopping each month featuring a specific company or brand…and this month’s favorite is Hero Arts! I have been fortunate to play along every month with their My Monthly Hero kits.

SHOP HERO ARTS

Using the Color Layering For You Flowers, I stamped them in multiple colors of ink and die cut. I arranged them onto a white panel that was ink blended with Scattered Straw and Mustard Seed Distress Inks. Using Press 'n Seal, I picked up my arrangement and set aside. The ink blended panel was die cut using the Abstract Texture Die. Everything was adhered including a sentiment from the Hello Stamp and Cut.
