Valentine Treats Sketch

A fun sketch for the As You See It Challenge…a “Heart Arc” sketch!

I used The Greetery’s “Sweet Tooth” stamps and dies, the “Piped Sentiments: Sweet” dies, and the “Frosted Frames” dies. 

So much fun to make! Thanks for stopping by!

Cozy Nest Showdown

 Time for another fun Color Throwdown Challenge!  This week a dreamy combination from Lisa…blush, dusty blue, and pink!

I used the sweet “Robin and Wren” set and “Jumbo Curiosity: Nest” dies from The Greetery…

The sentiment is on a vellum overlay and it’s from the “New Beginnings Sentiments” set. The background is a vintage Stampin’ Up red rubber background called “Paisley!” I stamped it with Versamark, heat embossed with white powder on white cardstock, then used pink ink blended over the top. My dusty blue is “Speckled Egg” Distress Oxide Ink but it looks a little more aqua in the pictures. 

There is so much fun Tim Holtz Distress Holiday Mica Stain sprayed on the nest pieces, but it’s so hard to capture in a photo…

Join us this week at the Color Throwdown blog…we can’t wait to see what you make with these colors! 

Rustic Stars Throwdown

Happy New Year! It’s time for the first Color Throwdown of 2024, presented by Amy Rohl…blue, olive, and ivory!

I used The Greetery’s “Rustic Star Large” and “Rustic Star Small” for a wintery festive feel…

I spritzed up the stars and The Greetery’s “BotaniCuts: Juniper” branches with all kinds of Tim Holtz Distress Mica Sprays, and used a Tim Holtz/Sizzix 3D embossing folder called “Pine Branches” for the background. The sentiment is from The Stamp Market’s “Tis the Season” sentiment set.

Now it’s your turn to play along! Upload your creation to the Color Throwdown Challenge blog for a chance to be a randomly-selected Guest Designer at an upcoming chalkenge. Thanks so much for stopping by! We are looking forward to a year full of new color combination fun with you all! ❤️

New Year’s Planters

 Playing along at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog with the theme “A New Start!” I made a little scene with planters filled with new greenery for the New Year…

I used The Greetery’s “Modern Planters,” “BotaniCuts: Bamboo,” “Plant It: Spider Plant,” and the “Woven Cane Background” die. The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink’s “Just Sentiments: Spring Greetings.” I colored the dies with Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks. The pots are sprayed with the “Holiday Distress Stains”…which I ordered more of because they are TOO much fun to use just for the holidays! 

Happy New Year and thanks for stopping by! ❤️
