A beautiful scene with the ‘Here’s to You’ kit; a Paper Pumpkin alternate idea


The March Paper Pumpkin kit included stencils and a sponge in the kit so I had to play with creating a scene.  It's one of my favorite techniques! 

One of the stencils has clouds in it.  I used Pool Party ink and lightly sponged on the upper part of my White CS. 

Then I sponged Daffodil Delight and Calypso Coral ink about an inch and a half from the bottom edge.  Now I stamped the trees image in the kit with Pretty Peacock ink.  I did not reink the stamp each time so as I stamped repeatedly I achieved the appearance of a distant forest. Love this!!  

The birds and greeting images also came in this kit.

  • Quick & beautiful cards for any occasion with the New Horizon suite.


    If your style is clean and simple I have the perfect card layout for you! Look at these gorgeous cards!

    I stamped a few of the images from the On the Horizon stamp set here.  I used the birds a lot!  They add a peaceful 'movement' to the card.

    I used a version of my 5 at a time template for the card stock layers for these cards.  I use this often for the inside of my cards; especially if I need a white piece.  When making multiple cards it sure is nice to get 5 pieces from an 8 1/2" X 11" sheet instead of just 4.  I get a lot of people who ask me about this template.  If you like it I suggest you save it and either print it out or save on your computer for easy reference.  

    If you look closely at the cards with the trio of trees on them you'll see a 'watery' reflection. It's so easy with this New Horizon Designer Series Paper.  I shared how in the video here. 

    The New Horizons paper is on low inventory at this time. If they run out the item will be shut off until they restock.  

    Here's how this simple reflection is done. 

    1. Stamp the tree on the horizon line using full ink.
    2. Do not ink again. 
    3. Turn the stamp upside down and simply stamp under the first image.  Easy, instant reflection.  

    Measurements:

    • White card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored in half at 5 1/2"
    • Designer paper 3" X 4 1/2"
    • Card stock layer 3 1/8" X 4 5/8"
    • greeting strips 5/8" X 3"

  • Waves of Inspiration scene with masking & blending techniques


    I made this card for an online swap I participated in last month.  When I create for a swap I tend to make a few different cards and decide which one I'll use for the swap.  Well once I made this one the decision was made!  

    Although after stamping, masking, blending and sponging over 20 cards I was regretting my decision! But I am proud of it so it was worth my efforts.  

    This card is part of my Waves of Inspiration kit to go this month.  I share how to make it in the video and it's also part of the pre-cut kit to go as well. 

    If you're interested in it please message me here by March 17th.

  • Need cute but easy Scrapbook ideas? I’ve got you covered!


    It's been awhile since I created scrapbook pages.  I actually started out with scrapbooking before stamping.  

    I know some of my customers have been waiting for me to create a new bunch of scrapbook layouts.  I thought the Pattern Party host designer paper was a perfect starting point.  Then I added elements from the What a Year Memories & More card pack.  Perfect match up!  Look: 

    There are 6 fun, colorful double scrapbook layouts in this kit to go. (the white photo mats are where you photos will be) 

    Each layout includes two 12 X 12 pages featuring a variety of celebratory occasions.  You have a choice of the PDF tutorial or a pre-cut kit to go. 

    Here's one of the striking layouts. 


    Pre-order this kit by March 17th and it will be mailed out at the end of March.  The PDF tutorial is sent in an email immediately after payment. 


    The kit to go includes the following:

    • 6 double layouts (12 pages) with pre-cut and punched pieces
    • What a Year Memories & More card pack.  You'll use these cards for titles, layers and other elements on your page layouts. 
    • the PDF tutorial includes photos, measurements, supplies list and tips on assembly

    Click here to order the pre-cut kit

    Wait; you can add one or both of my other kits to go this month.  I have the Flowering Fields cards or the Waves of Inspiration cards. *see them below.
