TSOL: On The Right Track!

Hello!  Have you seen the new train2stamp set from The Stamps Of Life? I just love the trains and the different sentiments that go along with it.  Makes a perfect birthday card for a little boy!

And this one shows the tail end of the train that is "on the right track"! You can use the shapes2stamp set to fill in the box cars and the wheels of the train. LOVE it!

Cards for a great cause!

Hello! Today I pulled out some of my old Unity stamps to create this fun card.  I made it for one of the Hope You Can Cling To challenges on Splitcoast Stampers.  In case you don't know what HYCCT is all about, it is a card drive for the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.  The cards are donated to help lift the spirits of women fighting breast cancer.  They can use them to send to loved ones, or their friends and family can use them to send to the patients.  What a cool cause, right?

I was inspired by the following photo from Pinterest for this challenge:


I paper pieced the couch, pillows and frame using Sugar Chic paper from heidi swapp.  Added some velvet ribbon for the "carpet" and some sequins to glitz up this very girly card. :)

Thanks so much for visiting today!

Heartfelt Creations: Oh, Christmas Trees!

 

I just love the Christmas Tree dies in Heartfelt Creations Banners and Trees die set! My first card has a more shabby chic feel, while the second has a more contemporary look. I am getting so excited for the holidays. I love all the preparation that goes into decorating, cards, gift giving and more!

 You can find the instructions and product list for recreating both of these cards on the Heartfelt Creations blog!

TSOL: Shabby Chic Christmas

Hello! Today I have a card to share using The Stamps Of Life lights4Christmas set and matching dies.  I went for a shabby chic look.  I paper pieced the lights and colored the tops with copic markers and Prisma pencils.  I added some silver tinsel ribbon and silver sequins and distressed the edges of the papers with Old Paper distress ink. I also rubbed the distress ink over the embossed swiss dots.

Heartfelt Creations: Vintage Christmas Creations

Hi, there!  Today I have two vintage inspired cards, using stamps and dies from Heartfelt Creations.  The first card features the newest poinsettia set using the Sunkissed Fleur die. I love that you can create two different flowers with one die!

This next card uses some of the tinier poinsettias and the sentiment circles. I just love red and sky blue together.  I thought it would make a pretty Christmas card!  You can find the instructions and product lists for recreating these cards on the Heartfelt Creations blog.

Heartfelt Creations: Love At Christmas

Hi, there! I have another Heartfelt Creations project to share with you today.  I love these starburst dies (I guess technically they are not snowflakes, since they have more than six points).  I layered them and added foam dots in between to create my own 3D embellishments. For product list and instructions on recreating this card, please go to the Heartfelt Creations blog. You will tons more projects by the design team.

TSOL: New Alphabet Dies!

Hello! Today I have two cards to share using the newest alphabet die set from The Stamps Of Life.  The first card uses the sets faces4stamps, talk2me, and outline4letters.  This alphabet die is all on one plate, so you can quickly die cut the entire alphabet and then pick the letters you need!

This next card uses the talk2me, outline4letters, and zebra2letter sets.  A quick and easy card to make to say hello to an old friend!

TSOL: Happy Fall!

Hello! It feels like fall around here, so I thought it fitting to share this card today.  I used the thanks2fall set from The Stamps Of Life and the matching die for this card.  I splattered some Old Paper distress ink over the card with a wet paint brush and added some baker's twine at the top. I also inked the edges with the Old Paper distress ink.  I stamped the sentiment in chocolate ink three times. To get the variation in tone, I simply kept stamping without inking the stamp back up. 
A quick and easy card to celebrate my favorite season!
