#myfavoritestampmonday Floral Borders and Sentiment D2018

 

Make 'n Take Monday features #myfavoritestampmonday Floral Borders and Sentiments D2018 and #mycolorofthemonth Flamingo.


In the video, I am sharing how to line up a border stamp using a score line created on your trimmer with a bone folder. There is plenty of shine using Flamingo shimmer trim and the Flamingo shimmer brush.

#myfavoritestampmonday Hillside Cottage - Scrapbooking (D2015)

 

Hillside Cottage - Scrapbooking (D2015 or with coordinating thin cuts Z3947) is my favorite stamp for May 10th! It worked perfectly to create the title for one of the upcoming June Virtual Crop layouts - 1 Recipe 3 Ways. It is a beautiful step stamp set, which means you stamp it in steps to create the look.

Colorful Cardstock Fun

Finished the first of many cute Little Piggies cards created using These Little Piggies Album Workshop Kit CC42111. 

The bundle comes with SO MUCH amazing cardstock in a rainbow of colors. I love the double sided cardstock. The scallop circle uses the dark side of Flamingo and the mat is the light side -- two in one!!

The little pig stamp image is colored with the Light Pink Triblend marker, the balloon is colored with the Flamingo Shimmer Brush. The White Daisy is random stamped with one of the two outline hearts from the stamp set. I used Intense Black ink when stamping the pig image and dye based Black ink for the sentiment. I added silver silk thread behind the sentiment piece to add some more shimmer. Flamingo is my color of the month --

I will continue using the other colors of cardstock to create more cards!! You can get your bundle HERE!

Flowers For You S2105

 April showers brings May flowers. What a wonderful sentiment for this month's Stamp of the Month, Flowers for You S2105.

A floral border and a large floral circle bouquet are just the beginning of what is a beautiful stamp set complete with lovely sentiments in a variety of fonts.

The images lend themselves to several mediums including emboss resist using distress oxide ink. Another bonus, the floral circle is the perfect size for our circle shaker.
