Sprinkles of Joy!

While cleaning up my craft room yesterday I found a stamp set that I had never used - The Stamps of Life - Donuts. I've had this stamp/die set for a while but never got around to playing with it.  So I made two cute cards - same layout (Inspired by freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com challenge FMS307).

The fall card reminds me of a pumpkin spice donut 

(see previous post for my obsession with pumpkin spice) 😉.

 

Hello stamping friends!   I've been working on getting a few fall and Halloween cards done for some friends and needed a break from the holiday themes.  I'm going to participate in a card swap with a group of stampers so I created this pretty in pink card as a possible for my card swap.  This is using the Stampin Up Hello Friend stamp set, powder pink and berry burst card stock and ink with a bit of copper thread and berry burst ribbon.  Sure was a refreshing break from the fall colors I've been working with lately.

Enjoy!

I admit I'm completely obsessed with pumpkin spice. Not just the latte - I'm talking pumpkin spice EVERYTHING!  Here is a small target haul of some of my pumpkin spice goodness!

I decided to make a cute treat holder to give a friend that shares my love for pumpkin spice. 

I LOVE coffee - from a simple cup of joe to the fancy schmancy lattes.  So when I saw this super cute stamp set from Stampin Up! I had to get it.  I've used two stamp sets actually, Coffee Cafe from their annual catalog and Merry Cafe from their 2017 Holiday Catalog. 

Check out these super cute cards!

I was honored to make a wedding album for a friends daughter. I used a mix of  paper, card stock, and embellishments from my stash. The binding is 1.25" wires for the Cinch machine - just barely fit this huge album. Each page has a pull out and with a total of six pages this really holds tons of photos!

I had such a great Saturday getting to know a few of my Fun Stamper Journey sisters.  We had a great kick off to RG Hits The Road!  So while the creative juices were flowing I sat down to make a few more cards.  It was my first time playing with both of these super cute stamp sets - Anything Is Possible (AT-0189) and Oops! (AT-0206) which is only available as a Bloom Benefit (FREE with any $50 order)

Catching Up!

I've been watching a lot of YouTube crafty videos lately and find myself trying new techniques and new products from different companies. My goal this year is to challenge my craftiness - try new techniques and make something I wouldn't normally do.  So...when I won some blog candy from a Stampin! Up demonstrator I decided to create some really cute cards with my new goodies.  I'm still working on incorporating new techniques.....it's a journey 😅

Here are a few cards I've made in the last few weeks using Hey Chick & Perfect Mix stamps sets.

I was inspired by the chicken - feeling a little farm girl...not sure why - totally a city chick!...anywhoo... I pulled out a great Fun Stampers Journey stamp set 4 Legged Friends and made two more super cute cards.
