Stamptember Blog Party

Hi Everyone! 

I'm so excited to be joining the Stamptember Blog Party ! You can view the wonderful new release HERE.

To make my first card I started by stamping the wreath from HEALING-HUGS in Antique Linen distress ink to turqouise cardstock. I colored the flowers and then stamped the wreath again, this time with gold ink,
 I then diecut the wreath and stamped the sentiment to the center.

I finished off my wreath panel by adding some gold Nuvo drops.

My second card was super easy to make- I just LOVE this Beautiful ELEGANT-FALL-BLOOMS  

label and wanted it to be the focus on my card.   The sentiment is from one of my favorite SSS sets ever -  the SKETCHED-FLOWERS-  

I finished off my label by adding some gold pearls.

Guest designing for Your Next Stamp: Welcome post

Hi Everyone!

I am so thrilled to be asked to join the Amazing team at YNS to design with them for the month of September! 

I start out by sharing two cards made with some of my absolute favorite YNS products; The paw print background - It is such an awesome die to use for all your cute animal cards. I love it just like this cut from white cardstock to add interest, texture and dimension to your bg. And oh my how cute the animals from Card Buddies are. I ADORE them. I kept the gray pink colorscheme for the fun alpha dies for harmony. I think the paw print die makes a beautiful bg for the photo booth shots too!

You will find lots of wonderful inspiration on the Your Next Stamp Blog.

You can get your YNS goodies from the Simon Says Stamp store:
