Eyes on You

The Eyes on You Stamp Set from the Journey Holidays Trends Mini contains some of the cutest monster images ever!  For today’s card, I decided to use the long leg cute monster image.  During the FSJ Holiday Launch Party, one of names given to this cute monster was Stretch and it fits him! I colored in the image using our Journey Color Splash Watercolor Pencils and added the glasses and… 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 »

Dashing Deer

Today’s card features the retired Dashing Deer Die and the gorgeous new Inspire Embossing Folder.  I usually sell off the FSJ items that retire but I think I’m keeping the Dashing Deer for a long time.  It’s makes for such an elegant Christmas Card.  What do you think? The pines are from the new Branch and Cone Die Set from the Journey Holidays Trends Mini. So glad that the Poinsettia… Read More »

Life is Beautiful

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 »

Skeletons Dance

I’m not much for sending out Halloween cards but I love to make them!  The Journey Holidays Trends Mini is chock full of cute, cute Halloween stamps sets and accessories.  One of my favorites is the Skeletons Dance Stamp Set Bundle.  You can buy the stamp set and the die set separately, but if you purchase it as a bundle, you save 10%. The background was embossed using the retired… Read More »

Gnome for the Holidays

Today’s card was inspired by one of the samples in the Journey Holidays Trends Mini Catalog and features the Gnome for the Holidays Stamp Set Bundle. My husband thinks I’m nuts because I’ve started collection small furry stuffed animals.  First it was Leo the Llama, then it was Sparkly the Unicorn and now it’s Geoffrey the Gnome. The background is the new Cozy Knit Embossing Folder.  It has the prettiest… 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 »

For today’s post, I was inspired by a picture of a pillow by the Pioneer Women (Wal-Mart). I used the Life is Beautiful Stamp Set Bundle for today’s card.  I have to say I am absolutely in love with The Good Life Collection from the new FSJ Inspiration Book & Catalog!   This card is also in answer to the weekly sketch challenge put out by our team leader, Becky Roberts.… Read More »

Artful Butterfly

Today’s post features the Artful Butterfly Die and our gorgeous new colors part of The Good Life Collection.  I love the names of the new colors:  Haystack, Tin Pail, Chambray Shirt, Peaches & Cream, Fresh Sage and Rustic Rose! Instead of using the new color card stock, I swiped each ink pad onto Whip Cream Card Stock until I had the desired depth of color I wanted.  Each square of… Read More »
