Shapes of Spring

Today I’m joining with Clear & Simple Stamps for their Shapes of Spring group post. We were challenged to use any of the “shapes” products including stamps and dies.
For my first card I used the hexagon dies and some paint chips to create this fun background. It’s very similar to this card I made a long time ago. I always wanted to try this idea with hexagons. The sentiment is from the All Occasions 1 set.

For my next card, I used the Triangles Plus set to create this overlapping triangle border. The sentiment from Baby Sentiments seemed to flow nicely on the angle. Check out the Clear & Simple Stamps blog for more Shapes of Spring inspiration. Thanks so much for stopping by:)

Perfect Bow~hair clips

Hello there! Just popping in to share a fun little project I made with the Perfect Bow die from Simon Says Stamp.
I made a few bows from some random felt scraps in my stash and slipped a hair clip on the back of them.
These little bows are perfect to add to anything, such as this little tag I stamped using a Jane’s Doodles set. Isn’t it so cute? But just when you think it couldn’t get any cuter….
The little bow clips are too adorable in Emma’s hair. It only took 50 shots to get 2 that weren’t blurry. She’s so sweet, especially when she’s sleeping:)

Clear & Simple Stamps~Party Hop

Today I’m joining Clear & Simple Stamps in their Party Hop.I used the Create-a-Plaid Large set to create my invitation, favor and banner. There’s a ton gold embossing, which looks so much richer in person. After embossing and stamping my paper, I just trimmed the little banners and sewed them together. I used a glassine bag for the favor.
Check out what the rest of the DT created for the party hop:

Clear & Simple Stamps~Release in Review Day 4

Today I’m joining Clear & Simple Stamps as they continue their release in review week. Today we are featuring Borders & Plaids. I had a little fun with the Create-a-Plaid Large set. I masked off the bottom and stamped a simple pattern on top in pink and blue. The sentiment is from All Occasions 2.
Next, I did a little more intense plaid pattern on an angle. The overlapping colors are divine. This sentiment is from Cloudy Day Sentiments.
And lastly, a simple straight line pattern. I masked off the sentiment strip which is also from Cloudy Day Sentiments.
There’s some more inspiration to see:

cute little tags

Hello! Today I thought I’d share some fun little tags I made over the weekend using some Simon Says Stamp products.This first one just cracks me up! Little Simon’s got his cute galoshes on.
I popped up the umbrella and added some glossy accents for raindrops. So fun!
Next, I wanted to try out this beautiful daisy die. I die cut the top tag and popped it up over some pattern paper.
 Those are my $.99 sequins from Joann’s. Can’t put them down! Thanks for stopping by:)

wonderful

Hello all! Today I’ve got another card for my April guest designer spot for i (heart) papers.
I used the new Rounded Diamonds stamp set and coordinating Rounded Diamond dies. The outrageously talented JJ Bolton designed these products, and I couldn’t be more in awe of her. I embossed the images in clear and then blended various inks to get this gradient look. Then I used the dies to cut them out. The sentiment is from the Incredible set by Technique Tuesday. Thanks so much for stopping by!

some paper smooches projects

Thought I’d share a few of my Paper Smooches projects with you. This first one uses the new Shadows set and Oval dies. The sentiment is from the Birthday Sampler, birdie is from A Magical Spring and scallop tag.

This next one uses the Sailboat die and Birthday Sampler.

And lastly one of my favorites. Can you guess why? (rainbows:) This uses the Art from the Heart set.
