Enjoy the Rhythm

If you love music or has someone in your life who does the Enjoy the Rhythm (160361) stamp set is one that makes a good choice.

Since it’s filled with wonderful musical sentiment and images it’s great for your music geek or even a teenager. After all who doesn’t love music? And with my daughter being a Band Director I knew this was one I would love creating with. Check out these fun cards using the set.

This first one uses simple stamping

Interest and texture has been added with the Merry Melody 3D Embossing Folder (156392) and Stylish Shapes Dies (159183). And a bit of sparkle was added with a few Pastel Adhesive Backed Sequins (160387). And if you’d like a little more technique why not check out this fun project?

This card uses the same Merry Melody 3D Embossing Folder (156392) but has been run through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss with a bit of Smoky Slate Ink added to the folder first, making it more like a stamp. That layer is placed behind a piece of our Lovely Layers Vellum (158919) that has been stamped with our StazOn Jet Black Ink Pad (101406) and then colored with our Stampin’ Blends. The Deckled Rectangle Dies (159173) used to cut out the image gives it a bit texture and pulls in the Pumpkin Pie from the drum set. Fun right?

Why not stop by my Online store and check out this stamp set? You’ll like how you’ll be able to mix and match our musical products both current and past. And then don’t forget to stop by tomorrow for my card tutorial using the Something Fancy Bundle from the Mini.

Easter Bunny fun

Wow, it’s Wednesday already and I haven’t had a chance to share with you yet this week. I’m been a bit side tracked with the new grand-pup my son has brought home. Poor thing had been locked up in a chicken coop the past month for getting in the trash. I don’t see how you could do that to a pup, why she is the sweetest little thing but has needed a lot of reassurance after being shuffled around from home to home so much.

Any how on to sharing. Spring is definitely in the air here in North Georgia we’ve been in the 60s and 70s the past couple of weeks and things are turning green quickly. The itchy and watery eyes are proof that spring has sprung! Which of course makes me think of Easter which is right around the corner so today I thought I’d share a few swaps with you that uses the Easter Bunny stamp set.

This set has a coordinating punch also but it is not orderable right now since we’ve run out. But great news it will be back, so you can go ahead and get the stamp now to create with and do a bit of fussy cutting and then get the punch when it returns.

The first card I’ll be sharing with you today uses simple stamping and adds texture with our dies.

The Stylish Shape Dies (159183) were used to cut out the Design a Daydream Designer Series Paper (Host 159161) and bunny and the background was created with the Stitched Greenery Die (155451). Rustic Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots (159082) add a bit more texture to the project and brings out the color of the bunny and sentiment. This next friendship card creates a scene

The Cloud Punch (157749) was used to highlight the sentiment. And finally this last card uses the Scalloped Contour Dies (155560) and the soft Country Gingham Designer Series Paper (160388) to create the soft colors of spring.

So what do you think? Can you see all the possibilities with this fun spring set? Why not check it out and get started creating your Easter products now?

On the Farm

And while I live in North Georgia now, right our neighboring farmer has the calves in the field next to us, keeping them close as they adjust to being away from mom. It’s always fun to watch them frolic and play in the field.

Not only is this stamp set filled with farm animals it also has some wonderful sentiments AND when you purchase it during Sale-a-bration it has a fun coordinating Designer Series Paper, Day at the Farm (Sale-a-bration 160835) too that you can get for creating even more fun projects!

Here is a fun card done in Pear Pizzazz and Crumb Cake using the Bundle.

The sentiment has been punch out with the Double Oval Punch (154242) and popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals (104430) which gives it a bit of texture an interest.

So what do you think? Look like something you’d enjoy? And great news this set of On the Farm Dies (160660) fits in our Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss (160881).

Send a Warm Welcome to someone you love

Today’s card tutorial is one that I did for my OnStage After Party, which is a team event and forgot to share it with you earlier, but it got buried on my desk while I recouped from my Surgery. The idea comes straight from the pages of our Mini Catalog. Do you ever use the catalog projects to stamp? I love the ideas contained in their pages to inspire me or case. Anyways, so today I’ve got this fun card for you that spreads a little hello to someone you love.

I really like the quick and easy technique created with our Stampin’ Blends on the heart. I’ve also added a bit of texture behind the vellum with the Dots & Spots Die for a tone on tone background.
