{ January stamp Highlight from Elle’s Studio }

 

Hi, I have a blog post on Elle’s Studio blog today highlighting All My Heart stamp set along with January 2017 kit and extras.

I used my stamp positioner to line up the three stamps that say “you are loved”. Moving the white cardstock only, I was able to create a repeated design of the sentiment on the lower part of the card.

To embellish the card I added stickers, sequins, acrylic heart, puffy heart, and a die cut heart. I used 3D foam squares for the die cut heart, and I tucked a twine bow under it. In addition, I stamped the sentiment again, in black ink, at the top of the card.

Stamps are so versatile and I love using them. They are easily incorporated into any type of project.

{ Impression Obsession DT challenge – Love is in the air }

Hi and welcome to our  Impression Obsession challenge – Love is in the air.

Here is a card I created with our brand new stamps.

I stamped the heart with VersaMark ink on pink cardstock and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. The background is stamped with X and O Cover-a-card only on the bottom half. Love using my Misti for that. Rose Spray 4 is stamped on Kraft cardstock and heat embossed with white embossing powder. I used 3D foam squares to add dimension to the Rose Spray.
 

Impression Obsession stamps:

Brush Stroke Heart
Daisies & Hearts
X and O Cover-a-card
Rose Spray 4

I just love Frederick & Fiona Stamp Set - Animal House - Jan 2017 (shipping 1/15). How cute is that fox? I created some fun new Silhouette Studio cut files that I tried out and used on several different cards (see link below for free file download). Plus, I was cleaning out some of my piles of mess and came across this lovely pink journal card from Elle’s Studio. I thought it went perfectly with the diamond heart cut file.

I colored Frederick with Prismacolor pencils. Trying to use them more. I added a little flower and stamped and die cut bee. I just love this stamp set.

{ Impression Obsession DT challenge – Shiny New Year }

Hi and welcome to our  Impression Obsession challenge – Shiny New Year.

Here is my card with something shiny. I used gold cardstock and gold embossing powder on the Pine Branch Tag. How adorable is that tag? First time using it.

I stamped a strip of the Cover-a-card Background Lattice using my Misti and trimmed it to size. I tucked gold and pink glitter paper under the strip.

The little flowers are glittery, I found them at Hobby Lobby the other day. They are adorable. I added Nuvo Crystal Drops. Pretty simple card. Hello is die cut from black foam with adhesive backing.
