Pretty Pink Posh Holiday Release Blog Hop - Day 1

Hello friends! Today is the first day of a 2 day blog hop for Pretty Pink Posh (October 16th and 17th). I hope you are hopping along and enjoying all the inspiration using the newest PPP release for the holidays! I have three cards to share with you today. The blog hop details are at the end of this post. CARD 1: This is a slim-line card and one of my favorite sizes when you want to fit a lot of "critters" on one card to build a scene. I start with a piece of 8.5x11" cardstock. I cut a piece that is 7" wide (by the 8.5" width of the paper). I cut the remaining piece to be 3.5"... Read more →

SSS Woodland Whimsy Card Kit - November, 2019

This is my monthly Simon Says Stamp card kit post, but it isn't a "one stamp, five ways" post like usual. That is because the card kit comes with a FULL set of my watercolor cards, so I decided to focus on them instead of the stamp set. But that stamp set is so cute, I'll end up doing another post using it I'm sure! Here is a photo of the November kit called Woodland Whimsy: So not only are you getting the usual kit contents (pretty paper, stamp set, etc...), but you are also getting a full set of my watercolor cards as well as a set of watercolors and brushes to use on them. And if you aren't... Read more →

MFT Release - Stacey Yacula Merry Wishes

Today is the My Favorite Things new product release. I am using the newest Stacey Yacula stamp and die set called Merry Wishes. It is darling as are all her stamp sets which is why I always work with them! Here is an image of the stamp: Here are my two cards using this Merry Wishes stamp set and Merry Wishes dies. CARD 1: This card uses my favorite technique that I call "random stamping". I stamped all of the images on a white cardstock rectangle with MFT Natural Ink (my favorite ink for no-line stamping). I used a Misti to arrange the images around each other to fit like a puzzle. This is my favorite part of random stamping... Read more →
