Peony Blooms

Peony Blooms Stamp Set Bundle is one of my favorite flower stamps and the smaller flower image is one I use frequently.  The set is from the Blooms section of the new 2018/2019 Fun Stampers Journey Idea & Inspiration Catalog.  I love that it also have coordinating dies! The flower images were colored in using Watermelon Fusion Reinker and Fusion Blender and a blending brush to apply.  I used Green… Read More »

Peony Blooms

Today’s card features the gorgeous Peony Blooms Stamp Set.  I wanted to make a quick and simple birthday card and this set was perfect for that look. I first drew a half circle using the large die from the Journey Circles Die Set and a pencil.  I then followed the pencil line to line up the flower images. The washi tape is retired and one of the tapes was from… Read More »

Humble & Kind

Today’s card features the Humble & Kind Stamp Set from the Good Life Collection. To create the sky, I stamped the Ink Splat ATS Stamp randomly over the top half of the background using Lovely Blue Ink.  To create the grass, I did the same thing with the Kiwi Slice Ink. The fence was made using the new Garden Fence Die with Hazelnut Blend Card Stock.  The sunflower is from… Read More »

Today’s card is for a dear friend whose wife has gone into a care facility because she has dementia.  Although he is a retired school teacher, he is (as we like to call them in our area) a good old home boy.  Loves farm life.  He is a graduate of Oklahoma State and my husband is a graduate of University of Arkansas so there is a lot of fun competition… Read More »

Harvest Wreath in Rustic Rose

Today’s card uses the same Harvest Wreath Stamp Set as yesterday’s card but used a different color scheme. I used the Rustic Rose Ink (one of gorgeous our new colors) for the wreath.  The paper is the same (Good Life Prints) as yesterday – just selected a different pattern. The greeting is from the Inside & Out Stamp Set. Instead of the Candy Drops, I used the Journey Sequin Blooms.… Read More »

Harvest Wreath

Today’s card features the Harvest Wreath Stamp Set Bundle.  Harvest Wreath is not just for the fall, it can be used as a spring wreath also! I was inspired by a card from the new annual catalog (page 29) Inspiration Book & Catalog 2018-2019.  This book has so much inspiration (335 pages) that it sure comes in handy when you want to stamp but don’t know what type of card… Read More »

Bright Side

This card is for my husband, David who when he comes back from his trip would have been gone 3 weeks!  I’m using The Bright Side Stamp Set from the new Inspiration Book & Catalog for 2018/2-19. I got the lines in the card by running the bottom half of the Whip Cream Card Stock through the die cut machine using the Barn Wall Embossing Folder.  It looks like waves… Read More »

Summer Camp

Today’s post features a card I made for my granddaughter, Rachel, who is away at summer camp 🙁 Everything is FSJ except for the graphic image which I downloaded from the internet. I added rhinestones and silks to give it a little bling. No directions on today’s card since all I did was print out the graphic on card stock and put it together.   SHOP ONLINE: If you need… Read More »

Thankful Friends – FSJ Live

This is the last card from FSJ Live and I think it is my favorite of the four cards.  This card features the Thankful Friends Stamp Set Bundle. I used the Stripe Wall Background Stamp to make the pattern paper.  I first stamped it diagonal one way and reinked and restamped it the opposite way to crease the pattern. The fox image was inked first with Tangerine Fusion Ink and… Read More »
