As soon as I saw City Girls Spring Smiles, I loved the rainbow options of this set! Rainbows are one of my favorite things! All three of my cards are clean and simple and very easy to reproduce!

My first card uses the rainbow to stamp out a background of traditional colors with a stamped sentiment from this set along with a masked off portion of another sentiment. The panel was trimmed down and added to a white notecard with foam adhesive. This card could be for a birthday, celebration, or just because!

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

My second card uses the rainbow again in traditional colors but keeping it extremely clean and simple. At the ends of each "bow", the sentiment 'HELLO', from Wildflower Bouquet Builder, was stamped in black ink.

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

My last card simply focuses on a single rainbow with a large 'thanks' sentiment, from Peony Notes Bundle, in bold black ink.

***Giveaways***

Three winners will receive a stamp set of choice from the new Spring 2019 release (excluding Fantastic Feathers). To qualify, please leave a comment on each blog or youtube video. Comment period will close on 4/10 at 6pm EST. Winners will be announced on the The Ton's blog after.

The Washi Tape debuting today is a representation of some of Effie's watercolor work! Wildflowers and Pink Peonies are great staples to make a quick and easy card. The rose gold foiling is GORGEOUS!!

I layered some of the Pink Peonies Washi Tape over a panel of white cardstock. My sentiment is from Seriously Amazing Sentiments and was rose gold heat embossed onto a vellum strip. To finish, I added a smaller coordinating sentiment strip along with some Espresso gems.

My second card uses the Wildflowers Washi Tape. The colors in this are amazing and remind me of spring! (wish that it would come soon here in Kansas!)

This one I layered the Wildflowers Washi Tape over a white panel, trimmed down, and added it with foam adhesive to a mint color of cardsock. I added a stamped vellum sentiment strip and some clear gems. (sentiment is from Peony Notes Bundle)

The Ton's 4th Anniversary Blog Hop - Day 2

Welcome! I am so honored to be designing alongside all the Design Team and huge list of Special Guests for The Ton's 4th Anniversary! Some amazing and unique new stamps are being released for the anniversary release!

Visit The Ton HERE!

The Ton has AMAZING floral stamps. I was excited to see the Today's Cosmos flowers in the new release. Some of my favorite flowers! Coloring these using Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers was effortless. I white heat embossed, colored the out lines of the petals, and filled in color with a water brush. I just love the effect! All the flowers and leaves were fussy cut with scissors.

For my background I masked off an area and ink blended Mustard Seed Distress Ink with my ink blending brushes. I stamped my sentiment with bold black ink, added my flowers, and some gems.

Click on the picture to get your own set of brushes!

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

Next up, I have a CAS card using Hustle and Grind which is a huge sentiment set. I went rainbow colors with the triangle grouping of stamps included in this set. So easy and for dimension, I added my stamped sentiment with foam adhesive.

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

The Ton is celebrating 4 years this month and Effie has introduced 9 new designs for this release. There are some free gifts with purchase promotions ongoing. Head over to The Ton Stamps' blog for more details.

My second card uses the Wonderland Print set (2- 6x8 stamp sets). I combined the images and stamped them with various colors from The Ton Couture Color of inks.

I stamped my sentiment directly in the center with bold black ink. I added 2 strips of Washi tape cardstock stripes to the left/right of the panel. This was all adhered to a green cardstock panel.

The Ton’s Spring 2018 Release Blog Hop

Hi there! I'm excited to join The Ton Stamps for their Spring Release Blog Hop!

The Ton has 14 new stamps, coordinating dies and 5 stand alone dies for their new Spring 2018 Release which includes up to two free gifts with purchases (GWP). For more information on The Ton’s incentive gifts, head over to The Ton’s blog. New release products can be purchased now and all new release orders will begin to ship on Monday, April 9.

My first project features the Large Florals: Heritage Rose. This is a beautiful large layering rose with leaves. The layers line up so easily. I've used the Peony Pinks Couture Color Inks for the three layers of my rose and the Pewter Couture Color Inks for my leaves. I wanted to have the rose be the center of attention so I used gray for the leaves. I love how it turned out. For the background, I've stenciled some polka dots using Crystal Pewter Dye Ink and stamped a sentiment from Peony Notes B (previously released).

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

This next project has a bit of nostalgia for me. Growing up, we always had a fish tank and bettas. I remember watching them when I was younger.....how their tails flowed in the water with their rich colors. Beautiful Bettas is a gorgeous layering set with three bettas, greenery, and some sentiments.

I started by stamping my greenery with the Garden Couture Color Inks. Using the lightest ink (Soft Garden), dabbing ink off, and stamping. I then added some shading by selectively inking with the Bright Fern Ink. For my blue betta, I used the Blue Couture Color Inks and for my orange betta, I used the Coral Couture Color Inks. I layered my trimmed panel onto a coordinating panel of blue cardstock and added a thin sentiment with foam adhesive.

**GIVEAWAY**

Three new release stamps will be given away to random commenters from the hop participant blogs. To qualify, you must leave a comment on The Ton Blog Hop post. The comment period will close on Friday, April 6 at 5pm. Winners will be announced thereafter on The Ton’s blog.

The Ton’s 3rd Anniversary Release Blog Hop

Hello!

I am so excited to help my friend Effie over at The Ton celebrate their THIRD Anniversary! Every day from January 19-January 26 there will be a mini blog hop with loads of inspiration using their Anniversary Release!

The Ton has 23 new stamps for their Third Anniversary Release which includes up to two free gifts with purchase (Daisy Duet and Peony Notes Bundle A+B+C). For more information on The Ton’s incentive gifts, head over to The Ton’s blog. All new release products are available now!

I am starting things off with the Peony Notes A, B, C stamps. They are GORGEOUS! The details in the flowers are incredible and they include many bold sentiments along with supporting sentiments! I could have made cards for hours with this set!

I started with creating the purple Peony card (ya know it's the Pantone color, right?). I used the Peony border in shades of purple. The sentiment is also from this set and was stamped in bold Versafine Onyx Black ink.

The second card using Peony Notes A, B, C used the Peony border in shades of orange. After stamping one side of my white cardstock panel, I turned it over and stamped the border on the other edge to fill up my panel. I love love love this! The sentiment for this card is from Seriously Amazing and it is seriously AMAZING stamped in Versafine Onyx Black!

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

My next cards use the new set Timeless Peonies. This set comes with a full background stamp where you "fill in" the spaces with the Peonies. I wanted to create some CAS one layer cards using this set.

I created a pink version and a blue version. Both cards were stamped using my Mini Misti. This tool made making 2 identical cards a breeze! The simple sentiments come from Peony Notes and again are stamped in Versafine Onyx Black ink.

**GIVEAWAY**

For each day of The Ton’s blog hop festivities (1/19 to 1/26), Effie is giving away a stamp set of choice to a lucky commenter. To qualify, you must leave a comment on each blog stop for the respective giveaway day for which you are entering. The comment period for all giveaways closes on January 28, 5pm EST.

The Ton’s Fall 2017 Release Blog Hop

Hello and Welcome to the Fall Release for The Ton Stamps!

I'm so honored to be included in the hop today! I adore The Ton's floral stamps and their fall/holiday collection is no different!

The Ton has 24 new stamps, coordinating dies and 6 Couture Mixes for their new Fall 2017 Release which includes up to three free gifts with purchases. For more information on The Ton’s incentive gifts, head over to The Ton’s blog. All new release products are available now!

I started out with the gorgeous Holiday Love Poinsettia. Wow is all I can say! The image in this set is such a perfect size for the focal point of a card.

I've white heat embossed the image onto Bristol Smooth watercolor paper. I had fun watercoloring using my Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers for this deep poinsettia color. I used Deep Red, Wine Red, and Carmine Red. For the leaves I used Mid Green and Olive Green. To highlight my image, I watercolored around the perimeter of the poinsettia with watered down Distress Oxide ink in Broken China. It gives the most perfect shade of blue! (the photo makes it lighter than in real life) I stamped my greeting in Versafine Onyx Black ink and did some gold flicks of Heidi Swapp Color Shine. My panel was trimmed, layered onto a pink panel, and a strip of black/white pattern paper adhered down the left side. This card is essentially one layer and will be perfect for mailing this holiday season!

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

Next, I am changing gears a bit and am using the Magnificent Magnolias stamp set. I've stamped the largest magnolia image onto Bristol Smooth watercolor paper both in the left lower and upper right corner with Versafine Onyx Black ink. I've used this ink because it is very good with watercolor!

Using watered down Distress Oxide inks in Worn Lipstick and Peeled Paint, I loosely colored in the images, letting the panel dry completely in between layers. This is key in achieving this look. After letting my panel dry, I splattered some black ink over my colored images. My sentiment was white heat embossed onto a thin strip of black cardstock and trimmed at an angle. My sentiment was adhered with foam adhesive over a strip of silver glitter cardstock and a few sparkling clear confetti were adhered.
