Bee Mine

This Tuesday brings us an all new Hand Stamped Sentiments Sketch Challenge!

I am absolutely loving the new color release of the Cute As Can Bee Designer Series Paper. These little bees are as sweet as can be!

I stamped the hearts to go along with the sketch design then brought in a couple fussy cut bumble bees. Some buzzy little loops were stamped in Pool Party and the Bee Mine sentiment was stamped in Petunia Pop on a little strip of Bubble Bath.

I love the striped pattern peeking out from the edges.  All of the patterns together are so much fun!

Join along in this weeks challenge and share you creations with us!

Happy Stamping!

Colorful Cake Celebrations

The fun color challenges continue with the latest Hand Stamped Sentiments Color Challenge.  These colors make me happy...especially during the dreary days of winter!

I finally got to play with the Online Exclusives Cake Celebrations bundle.  I love this cake!

I die cut both layers from Basic Beige, stamping the layers of frosting in the same color.  Each layer was topped with Very Vanilla...quite fitting for a cake!

I stamped the flowers in the challenge colors of Highland Heather, Petunia Pop and Lemon Lime Twist.  I randomly stamped Celebrate in Highland Heather, along with some Petunia Pop starbursts.

I tend to create a lot of birthday cards this time of year to try to stay ahead.  I will be using this bundle again for sure!

Happy Stamping!

Elf Hustle

It's time for an all new sketch challenge over at Hand Stamped Sentiments this week!  A sketch is always a great place to start the creative process!

In keeping up with the 30 Day Christmas Card Making Challenge, I had to pull out these retired elves from Jolly Words to play along with the Elf Hustle challenge!

I paired these joyful elves up with the Take a Bow DSP and added an additional sentiment from Peaceful Season.  Everyone needs a little joy in their heart all year long, but even more so during the holidays!

Be sure to join along in the fun and share you creations with us!

Thinking of You Always

Happy Tuesday and welcome to an all new Hand Stamped Sentiments Color Challenge.  This is a beautiful color combination!

With winter quickly arriving, I decided to use these colors with the Winterly Tree Tops bundle.  I stamped the birds in Memento Tuxedo Black on Basic Beige, coloring them Pebbled Path and Crumb Cake, and a little Peach Pie beak.

I stamped the Falling Snow on Balmy Blue in Whisper White Kraft Ink...it was really hard to capture it in the photo, but it's so pretty!  I tucked in a few Textured Floral sprigs in Pebbled Path and Cherry Cobbler to make the tree branch a little bit fuller.

The sweet sentiment was die cut using the Peaceful Season dies.

I can't wait to see what everyone is inspired to create with this pretty color combo!

Pink Christmas

Fall has just begun, but we are already thinking of a winter wonderland at Hand Stamped Sentiments this week.  This frosty inspiration challenge has me dreaming of cozy winter days and freshly fallen snow!

Inspired by the pretty pink snowflakes and frolicking deer, I pulled out Reindeer Fun again for another wintery creation.

I cut the two deer from the Reindeer Days DSP and placed them in the Grove {Dies}. I absolutely love the Bubble Bath background embossed with Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder.  Isn't it pretty?

The sentiment was stamped in Flirty Flamingo with some Soft Sea Foam holly. Such a quick and easy card!

Join along in the fun and share what you were inspired to create!

Otterly Amazing

I always love a good sketch to play along with and this week's Hand Stamped Sentiments sketch challenge is a fun one!

I've got one more card to share from the Otterly Amazing bundle.  This time I focused on the stamped images and my coloring heart is happy!

I stamped the otters in Memento and colored them with Crumb Cake and Pecan Pie Stampin' Blends, along with Mossy Meadow and Old Olive.

I love this Balmy Blue water pattern of Otterly Adorable DSP is so calming.  A few Balmy Blue bubbles were stamped on the DSP.  The die cut log and So Swirly Embossing folder added just the right amount of texture.

I hope you'll join along in the fun and share you creation with us!

Brighten Your Day

Happy October friends!  This weeks Hand Stamped Sentiments Color Challenge feels like fall.  And you can almost taste it...Peach Pie, Pumpkin Pie and Pecan Pie are all so yummy!

I used the Changing Leaves bundle with these gorgeous fall colors and created layers and layers of leaves.  There is just a hint of gold mixed in from the Season of Elegance Specialty Designer Series Paper.  Isn't it pretty?

The Changing Leaves Hybrid Embossing folder is probably one of my all time favorites. The texture and detail in this folder is just beautiful!

I hope these colors inspire you to create something beautiful today!

Hello Fall

The first day of fall is almost here and we are ready for it over at Hand Stamped Sentiments!

I was inspired by the fall leaves and all of the beautiful colors in the inspiration photo. I ended up with the color combo of Old Olive, Calypso Coral, Lost Lagoon and Crumb Cake...I'm loving these colors together!

This pattern of Country Woods DSP and the Timber 3D embossing folder adds some fun texture to go along with the Changing Leaves. Do you spy the little bits of Changing Leaves embossed layer in the background as well?  This card is loaded with texture!

I hope you'll join along in the fun and share what you are inspired to create!

Leaves are Changing

It's feeling like fall with this weeks Hand Stamped Sentiments Color Challenge! 

The beautiful Changing Leaves bundle seemed like the perfect fit for these gorgeous colors.  The hybrid embossing folder is absolutely amazing...can you see all of the leaf details?

I added lots of layers, just like falling leaves.  The die-cut leaves and sprigs were perfect to tuck in and around the die-cut circles.

A sweet little bow tucked behind the sentiment and a few Purple Fine Shimmer Gems were the perfect embellishments, don't you think?

I hope you will join along in the fun and share your colorful creation with us!

Beach Day Birthday Wishes

It's a beach-day-kind-of-day over at Hand Stamped Sentiments!  This Inspiration Challenge has me wishing I was at the beach instead of being stuck at work!

I pulled in the pinks, with a touch of green and gray from the photo, along with the beach theme.  I used the Seaside Wishes bundle with a little added coral from the Beauty of the Deep dies to create a dream beach scene.

The Petal Pink woodgrain pattern from the Country Woods DSP and the Seaside Wishes hybrid embossing folder gave the card just the right amount of texture.  I love the rock cluster image along the bottom...it reminds me of some of the beaches in Mexico!

What will you be inspired to create for this challenge?  We can't wait to see!

Lovely & Sweet Thoughts

We made it through Monday and are on to Tuesday, which means it's time for an all new Hand Stamped Sentiments Sketch Challenge!

Nature's Sweetness DSP was the star of the show for this sketch.  I pulled in two patterns and added a punched circle of Petal Pink for the main sketch.  The beautiful almond tree branch was also die cut from the DSP and colored in soft shades of Soft Sea Foam, Petal Pink and Pecan Pie.

A simple So Sorry sentiment and a few Brushed Brass Butterflies completed this simple, yet elegant sympathy card.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Hi Friend

It's time for a new Hand Stamped Sentiments Color Challenge!  Aren't these colors fun?!?

I had some fun with the Friends For Life bundle with this color challenge!

After die-cutting the heart, I randomly stamped HI in Petunia Pop, Daffodil Delight and Summer Splash.  I added one Tuxedo Black Memento HI to coordinate with the die-cut "friend". 

There was a little too much empty space on the other side of the heart.  I filled it with a cheerful flower created with the Translucent Florals Dies.  The center of the flower was filled with single Iridescent Faceted Gem. A sweet and simple card that is guaranteed to brighten a friends day!

Under the Sea

Welcome to the latest Hand Stamped Sentiments Inspiration Challenge!  This challenge is full of beautiful sand and sea inspiration for all of you to play along with!

I pulled out every sand and sea stamp set I own for this card! Seaside Wishes, Beauty of the Deep and Sea Turtle all came together for a fun under-the-sea creation. 

I created a watercolor ocean background using Balmy Blue and Blueberry Bushel with a few Pretty Peacock splatters.  I stamped the sea pebbles in Pebbled Path Along the bottom of the ocean floor.

A Sea Turtle was stamped in Lemon Lime Twist and Pretty Peacock.  Some Beauty of the Deep coral was die-cut in Pretty Peacock with some Lemon Lime Twist Seaside Wishes Hybrid seaweed woven through.  Basic Beige is my favorite sand dollar color, especially with a Peach Pie and Moody Mauve starfish!

Seaside Wishes

Welcome to an all new Hand Stamped Sentiments Sketch Challenge!

This sketch gave me the perfect opportunity to ink up the gorgeous Seaside Wishes stamp set AND play with the Seaside Wishes Hybrid Embossing Folder.

I stamped the large sand dollar on Basic White in Basic Beige, along with a few Calypso Coral starfish and some Crumb Cake splatters.

A Basic Beige sand dollar was cut using the hybrid embossing folder...the texture is amazing!  Wanting to bring in some more color, I cut some of the other sea life in Calypso Coral and Coastal Cabana.

The So Swirly embossing folder added an ocean-like texture....my favorite place to be!

These colors were so much fun to use with the adorable new Attention Shoppers bundle!  I filled the shopping cart full of fun items that are perfect for a birthday celebration!

This cute pattern from the Country Lace DSP was perfect to go along with this color combo!  And a simple little Petal Pink bit of ribbon topped with a white bakers twine bow was the cutest final touch.

Country Flowers Sympathy

Happy Tuesday and welcome to an all new Hand Stamped Sentiments Inspiration Challenge.  There are so many beautiful images and colors to inspire you!

Inspired by the pretty florals and colors, I stamped one of the floral images and leaf image from County Flowers.  I colored them in shades of Pretty Peacock, Soft Sea Foam, Moody Mauve, Bubble Bath and Petunia Pop.

If you've followed along with me for a bit, you'll notice that I love white on white...the Eyelet 3D embossing folder was the perfect way to add just a little bit more to the Basic White panel and really makes the florals pop!

The sentiment was heat embossed on Basic Black...another favorite!

This was a fun alternative way to use the Country Flowers stamp set.  The florals and leaves are fun in the pots, but they are just as fun all on their own!

Join in the fun and share what you were inspired by with this challenge.

Happy Stamping!
