best friend ever…

06.01.2024…..Happy Saturday, my stampin’ friends! Today, I’m sharing a card that I created with products from the Country Woods Suite. This suite is one of faves, and I am absolutely obsessed with the Country Woods Designer Series Paper and the Country Lace Designer Series Paper. I also combined it with the Flowers of Beauty Dies (for the leaves and the little flowers). Hope this card inspires you create a card or projects with a mix and match of your favorite products, too!

stampin’ fancy friday – case a fancy friend…

05.24.2024…..Happy Friday, my stampin’ friends! Today, I wanted to share a card that I created for this month’s Stampin’ Fancy Friday challenge! It’s a “Case a Fancy Friend” challenge! This means that when you see a card and are so inspired by it…then you copy it (or selective copy) and share what you create! We each chose one of our Stampin’ Fancy Friday team members, and “cased” one of their cards. How much fun is that??? That being said, I decided to choose the amazing Brenda Nelson @stampwithbrenda !

Be sure to join us to see what our Stampin’ Fancy Friday team created and just who on the team they CASEd! We have 24 projects to share, and each one is AMAZING!!!

Then…..when you CASE one of our SFF teammates, share your project on IG or FB and tag us by using #stampinfancyfriday or #fancyfridaychallenges in your post. We will share in our stories to inspire others as well!

#tgifc473…picture perfect backgrounds

05.17.2024…..Happy Friday, my stampin’ friends! It’s already time for another TGIF Challenge! This week we have a wonderful inspiration challenge for you…..Picture Perfect Backgrounds! Inspiration challenges are one of my faves, and it seems like y’all really love them, too! For my take on this challenge, I decided to use a Water Painter, along with Daffodil Delight and Balmy Blue, to add a wash of color to Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper. Hope this card inspires you to create a fun, unique card using this week’s challenge!

a little watercolored flower…

05.09.22…..Happy Monday, my stampin’ friends! Today, I’m sharing something a little different. It’s a little watercolored flower, and I decided it would be perfect for this shabby chic frame that I’ve been holding on to for years. The inspiration for the flower came from the amazing Shannon West, who shared her tutorial video on Youtube yesterday…..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmmvaVRSrHs. She watercolored a beautiful, hand-painted flower, which I absolutely adore! So…..I thought I would give it a try.

I was really happy with the flower that I painted, but then….I ran into a bit of a mishap with my Daffodil Delight and Crushed Curry ink. So….I added more Daffodil Delight and Crushed Crushed around the flower, along with some splatted water drops. Even with my little mishap, I’m still excited with the way it turn out, and I can’t wait to try another one…maybe in a different color combo. Thank you bunches, Shannon West, for sharing your talent!
