Stamp of Approval Young At Heart Collection



Hi friends!
I am SO excited to be sharing one of my projects using the amazing goodies found in the Stamp of Approval Young At Heart Collection by Catherine Pooler! 

If you have never heard of Stamp of Approval, it is an exclusive collection, the products were designed FOR the box and most of the products won't be available until much later in 2016.  This next collection releases on February 3rd!!!

This collection is chock full of supplies that will have your creativity going off the charts.  I have been creating many projects using the stamps/dies included in the collection.


I started my card by masking off the two sides of the card base with post it tape.  I then sponged some distress inks onto the panel.  After sponging, I inked up the streamer stamp in the coordinating distress ink colors and stamped them down the panel.  Sprinkled some water on to get the water spots.  Removed the masks, stamped the sentiment (LOVE the font).  Die cut the balloons and stamped the bursts using a light gray ink.  Attached them with foam tape to add dimension.

Please visit these lovely ladies for more inspiration today.

 **Make sure and come back on Tuesday as I will be participating in a blog hop (there will be two boxes up for grabs) to celebrate the release of the Stamp of Approval Young at Heart Collection. **


  Thank you for visiting and have a great day!

Smitten with you



Hi friends!
I posted this card on Instagram and on my blog the other day.   My good friend, Michele "challenged" me to make a Valentine's card using these mittens.  I took her challenge.  I hope you like it, Michele.  :)
I LOVE how Michele uses fun sentiments on her cards, so this is for YOU, my friend.  xoxo  I created the sentiment and printed it out on my computer.

I followed the sketch over at Can You Case It.




Thank you for visiting and have a great day!

Papertrey January 2016 Blog Hop

Hi everyone!
**This is my second post for today.  Scroll down to see my card for Merry Monday challenge.**


My card inspired by this month's photo for the PTI January Blog Hop.


I used a stencil to mimic the circles in the background and for the "surf boards" I used a feather.  :)

Happy Hopping!

Clean & Simple Birthdays


Hi everyone!
Here's my card for this week's Muse challenge.  Tracey has given us a gorgeous floral inspiration:


I was inspired by the colors of the blooms, but went in a different direction and colored mine in with Zig Markers instead of using a solid image.

Adding this over at CAS(E) this Sketch!


I am adding both of these cards over at Seize the Birthday: Clean and Simple.


My second card for today was inspired by the latest lesson in the Creative Stencils & Mediums class over on StampNation.   Catherine demonstrated how to do Selective Stenciling with Zig Markers.

Whimsy Challenge-With Love


Hi everyone!
I am popping in with my card for this month's Whimsy Challenge.  
The theme is - With Love.

The new Scripted love die is perfect for this challenge.  I also stamped my plaid background using the new Get in Line stamp set.  Love how easy it is to create your own plaid background with this stamp set.  I am excited to try out many different color combos.

Anyone can enter this challenge and you don't even have to use Whimsy products, although it would be great if you did.  There is also a prize offered.


Thank you for visiting and have a great day!
