Saying goodbye to the Honey Bee Bundle

This bundle has been extremely popular and your in luck if you have been waiting for it to come back in stock as of last week this bundle is now available, but you’ll want to hurry since it is on the Retirement List!

Here are a couple of cards made with this bundle for you – while they both use the same stamp set and dies they are very different.

This first card above uses Pumpkin Pie and Crushed Curry to create this lovely card for a friend.

And this next card uses a fun technique called Joseph’s Coat. Ink is applied by sponging it onto a piece of Whisper White card stock. Then the images are stamped in VersaMark (102283/102193) and embossed with Clear Embossing Powder (109130) and heat set.

This allows the color to shine through when you apply a dark color over the top with a Spronge Brayer (141714) or Stampin’ Sponge (141337), in this case Early Espresso.

Cool, right?

Why not stop by my online store and check out this bundle along with the other wonderful products that we will be saying goodbye to soon. Remember products are while supplies last and stamp sets are only guaranteed until May 15th. Just in case you need to budget your goodies 🙂 You can quickly see all the items included by clicking HERE or on the Last Chance image below.

Remember our Stampin’ Blends are being reconfigured into combo packs only, but the 2018-2020 In Color Stampin’ Blends will be retired.

Morning Star

For today’s post I thought I would share a couple of lovely cards that I received using the Morning Star stamp set (151699) found in the Mini Catalog. This bundle has some lovely sentiment and images.

It also coordinates with our Stitched Star Dies (150653) which are quite lovely. This Die set is part of the Holiday Catalog carry over list and can be found in my Online Store with the other carry over items.

This first card uses the Mint Macaron, Pretty Peacock and Heather Highland color combination to create a lovely soft thank you card.

And this next card uses the Pretty Peacock again, but this time it has a completely different feel since it has been teamed up with Crumb Cake.

I just love the way color can make such a difference! How about you? Why not leave me a comment and let me know what your favorite color combination is?

You can find this and other great products to choose from for your crafting need in my online store. And if you are new to stamping you’ll want to make sure and check out our kit which make crafting easy!

Flourishing Phrases Card Set & Holder Tutorial

Today’s project is a fun one that creates a lovely set of cards with a holder. It’s done in a soft and subtle classic color combo too so it’s a perfect gift for all kinds of occasions.

Why not create some for your gift giving needs? While we are sheltering and place and have a bit of time at home it’s a great time to plan ahead and get some things done for this years holiday season. Yes, you heard me right, holiday season. I’ve been creating hand stamped projects for gift giving not only to have on hand but to get ahead of the busy holiday season too! Plus as an added bonus stamping and creating reduces my stress level too since it is a chance to relax in my craft space.

And since this set of cards doesn’t require a huge list of supplies to create it’s perfect for those who are beginning to build their stamping supplies too or just want to get something new.

This stamp set has some great images along with a variety of sentiments done in a lovely font – so it is perfect and very versatile for all kinds of projects!

I’ve quickly whipped up a printable tutorial for you today since I wanted to share this with you earlier and it got buried under things in my studio. So why not check it out?

Fun new project using the Best Dressed Suite

Today I’m going to share with you a fun project that I created to hold a couple of post it note pads. I think it’s a great little gift to give someone too! Want to see it?

So what do you think? It uses the Dressed to Impress Bundle and the stamping is on the inside for a little surprise message along with two little post it note pads.

I used what I had here in my closet of goodies but of course if you wanted to you could put a larger post it note pad inside – I did see that they come in the bigger size when I went looking the other day. I was just too impatient to wait on a delivery to start working on my idea. I call it a purse but really I guess it is a clutch since it doesn’t have handles. 🙂

I’ve got a video tutorial and PDF for you so you can make some too! They are pretty simple to make.
