Hey Love! Have you seen the gorgeous new Hey Love release at Simon Says Stamp? Everything is soooo pretty & perfect for sending love all year long!My project features the beautiful Hey Love word die along with the Folded Heart die.
I used some delicious pattern papers from the C’est La Vie 6×6 pack. I’m in love with these fresh, modern patterns. I actually just made a birthday card for my daughter with these papers and she LOVED it! Here’s the card I made for her.
She said and I quote, “Mom, I think you’ve gotten better over the years.” lolololol….Hey, I’ll take it, folks! I used my Silhouette Cameo to make the “16” & the “alex”…so easy, but the papers make it look so good.
But I’m in love with all of the gorgeous handwritten word dies designed by Kristina Werner. She has such a amazing gift!
That’s all for today! Thanks so much for stopping by & have a great day!
Altenew-Sohcahtoa
Hello there! Today I have a colorful, geometric project to share with you featuring on of my all-time favorite stamps sets by Altenew: Sohcahtoa.I don’t think I’ll ever tire of creating patterns with triangles. Sohcahtoa has several sizes & patterns of triangles which I layered here using a ton of gorgeous Altenew inks.
I love how the Altenew inks come in sets of four with four shades in each color family. It made this card a breeze to stamp. Using the MISTI helped a lot to get my triangles straight and evenly stamped.
I added an embossed sentiment from the Celebrate stamp set. I thought the clean, modern font paired perfectly with this geometric design.
Here’s a video to show you how I created this card.
GIVEAWAY!!

SSS-Diecember® blog hop
Hello there! Today I’m very excited to join Simon Says Stamp along with several talented designers in a hop to showcase the awesome new Diecember® release.
My first project features the adorable Bear Hugs die. I die cut several pieces of felt and created a bear felt banner. In rainbow order, of course:) I adhered the bears with glossy accents.
I added a sentiment using one of the Handlettered Greetings dies with Fog cardstock. I used spray adhesive to adhere it to the card.
I had a bunch of colorful little felt hearts left over from die cutting the Bear Hugs and used them on this next card.
This card features the gorgeous Circle Leaves die with Cream Off cardstock. I added a sentiment using one of the new Missing You dies with Sea Glass yardstick. Two cards made solely with dies!!! So fun! These new Diecember® dies are fantastic!

Honey Bee-Beautiful Life
Hi there! Today I’m excited to join Honey Bee Stamps for their 12 Days of Christmas Event. I am featuring the Beautiful Life stamp set along with the coordinating dies.I embossed several of the heart images in clear onto watercolor cardstock and then blended distress inks in Picked Raspberry, Worn Lipstick, Spiced Marmalade & Squeezed Lemonade. I also flicked some water droplets after the ink blending.
I stamped the sentiment from Beautiful Life and used the coordinating die to die cut it out and popped it up over a loose bed of thread with foam tape. I die cut a circle window into a piece of vellum and stitched it onto the panel to create a soft frame for my sentiment.

My Monthly Hero December 2016 Kit
Hi there! Today I’m excited to join Hero Arts along with several talented designers to showcase the latest My Monthly Hero December Kit.
This month’s kit is all about celebrations! It’s perfect for New Years, birthdays, graduations, etc.
I’ve created a couple of cards using both the main kit’s stamps, dies & gorgeous foil & metallic papers.
For this first card I embossed several images from the main kit’s stamp set in white. Then using nesting circle dies I die cut them out and popped them up to create a colorful, dimension background. I used the “party” die cut for the sentiment.
This next card showcases that gorgeous sunburst die included in the main kit.
I die cut the sunburst into gold foil cardstock, stamped the cheers sentiment and added a coordinating sentiment that was embossed in white onto some metallic blue cardstock.
GIVEAWAY!!
Hero Arts is giving away one kit as a prize to one blog reader – selected from the comments across all of the blogs in the hop. Giveaway closes Sunday, December 11 at 11:59pm, and the winner will be announced the following week.
