Back To School Days

Welcome stampers!

We are a group of stampers who get together weekly in blog form to create with a theme each week. This is our weekly Create with Stamping Friends Saturday blog hop!

Weekly, we share various themes to inspire your creativity. This week, we are creating cards for back to school!

This theme had me a little stumped until I started playing around with different things. I started with just the alphabet from the Lux Alphabet & Numbers Hot Foil Dies in various colors.

Then I remembered seeing a sheet of notebook paper in one of my packs of paper, Homemade Sweetness. Things started to flow!

I pulled out the Last Chance, Currently Loving stamp set to stamp the reading, learning, playing on the ‘notebook’ paper.

I arranged the numbers and letters around the stamp words.

I also added ENJOY YOUR DAY from Balloon Festoon, above the list. It went perfectly with list of things to do.

This would be a great card for an elementary student or maybe even a teacher!

For that ‘extra’ on the card, I added a staple in the top left. It’s always those details!

Be sure to go around and check us all out to see how we used the theme this week! We also love to read comments too. Take a few minutes to say HI, or why you liked our project for the week.

Next up is Melissa Davies, back is Cindy Elam. Keep going to see all of us.

See you next week with more great inspirations!

Hello my stampin’ friends!

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Stamping Friends challenge!

This week, our challenge is to create a card using this layout –

A rather fun, wonky layout! Here is my take on the sketch –

I wanted something that looked sweet, but was also a little on the humorous side. Just look at this expression on the cats face! Priceless for one of those, um, birthdays of a certain age.

The cat came from the Halloween set, Oh, My Fright. It’s just perfect for a non Halloween, scary aged birthday.

The sweet pattern paper is the Homemade Sweetness Designer Series Paper. Colors are just great!

Combined with the cat, this Thanks Man stamp set just makes the card!

Checkout how I finished off the card on the inside! I mimicked the outside wonky angle! Plus added the rest of the thoughtful words, lol!

Check out the other Design Team’s use of these colors this week on our Create with Stamping Friends blog. You’ll see some fabulous ideas! Join us for the challenge too if you’d like!

Welcome stampers!

We are a group of stampers who get together weekly in blog form to create with a theme each week. This is our weekly Create with Stamping Friends Saturday blog hop!

Weekly, we share various themes to inspire your creativity. This week, we are creating cards with foods!

Honey is a food, right?

I hand cut these cute little honey bears from the Homemade Sweetness Designer Series Paper. Then I started pulling card stock to see what matched the bears.

Calypso Coral was listed on the paper pack. And I thought the new Crisp Cantaloupe and Golden Glow matched too!

To add some interest, I stamped the Golden Glow with honey combs. For the Crisp Cantaloupe, I ’embossed’ it with the Eyelet Blooms Die* using the Impressions Plate. *The Eyelet Blooms Die is a specially priced Product of the Month that can be yours with a minimum purchase.

The sentiment is from the Bee My Valentine stamp set. Couldn’t be more perfect for this card!

Be sure to go around and check us all out to see how we used the theme this week! We also love to read comments too. Take a few minutes to say HI, or why you liked our project for the week.

Next up is Melissa Davies, back is Cindy Elam. Keep going to see all of us.

See you next week with more great inspirations!

Hello my stampin’ friends!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Sharing some quick bag tags I made for my team who attended OnStage with me this year.

I almost forgot to snap a picture before I attached them. They were on my counter. Not the best picture, but, you get the idea!

They even open up on the side like a true card!

I must say, this is a really cute jar! I will be playing with this again for sure!

Hello my stampin’ friends!

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Stamping Friends challenge!

Here is this week’s new layout challenge to spark your creativity –

This is the new pattern paper, Homemade Sweetness Designer Series Paper. It really is soo sweet!

The tag and stamp are from the coordinating Filled With Sweetness Bundle. The other dies in this set are wonderful too!

I am always drawn to dies with bows. I was excited to see this cute little bow in this set. So much easier to tie, lol!

Check out the other Design Team’s use of these colors this week on our Create with Stamping Friends blog. You’ll see some fabulous ideas! Join us for the challenge too if you’d like!
