Stamping a Scene

Hello friends!

Today's project is a perfect match of a stamp set and die set. This type of cards are really up my alley. 

May your day

This Papertrey Ink stamp set and coordinating die (Window Garden Stamp and Window Garden Die ) have much to offer.

May your day  (2)

Starting from the background, I inked up one of the tiny flowers to stamp the floral and vines. This really gives the entire card an interesting perspective.

May your day -001

For the window, shutters, flowering can, bird house and pots, I followed the layering guide and stamped a whole bunch.  I then die cut them and arranged all the pieces.

hope your day -001

Guest Design with Papertrey Ink!

 Hello friends!

Today is a special day for me.... because.....


I’m participating in the Papertrey Ink July Release Instagram hop! Back in 2009, I started to become active in stamping and learned about more and more stamp companies. Papertrey Ink was one that I was in awe of. Their products are beautiful and their design team are uber talented. It was a dream to be able to design for them. Check out over my IG handle--> HERE

Well, it's 2023 and it is finally happening with a IG Hop.💗😀

This month is all about our beloved pups, summertime gardens, balloon bouquet birthdays, gorgeous poppies, and Psalm Reflection! Hop along with us to see all the wonderful inspiration designed by the Design Team and invited guests! 
 
your word -001

With the poppies stamp and die, I also used the Alluring Bracket Die. One of them is Psalm Reflections Die and Psalm Reflection Stamp Set.

 This die set has beautiful lines and etched floral details. I know you must have a few shape dies by now. But this set is definitely one of a kind!

your word -002

Obviously, this card is not the same without the Into The Blooms : Poppies Die Set.

One Striking card and Two Winners Announcement ($15 Altenew GC)

  Hello friends!

It brings me a great pleasure to announce the TWO lucky random commenters! 

 But first, please check out my card for this month's Build-a-Flower Sweet Lilies

Altenew-Build-a-Garden-Sweet Lilies>

This is such a cool set. It's not surprising that the stamp and add-on set are sold out. However, the die is still available. You can consider getting the Ultimate Subscription Bundle and you will not ever have t miss a single set. 

Altenew-Build-a-Garden-Sweet Lilies -002

Since the stamp set is rather large, it is easy to cut and trim to size.  I took advantage of and chose the right size and iamge for this partial due cut card.

Altenew-Build-a-Garden-Sweet Lilies -003

If you look closely, the top left 's white card stock was left intact. I thought this really gives a great contrast with the back cardstock.

Altenew-Build-a-Garden-Sweet Lilies -004

The stencils, obviously, makes this a easy set to add colors. 


FREE brand-new Sweet Peruvian Zinnias 3D Embossing Folder ($8.99 value) on orders over $69 from 07/24/2023 at 12:01 am EST until 07/26/2023 at 11:59 pm EST. Shop HERE.
