Love You Sew Much Card

Hello! It's week three of the Waffle Flower Challenge which means I have a card to share with you!  This month's challenge was stamp layering:


And here is my card:


It ended up being a one layer card, too!  I started by stamping the doily from the Circle Doily Stamp Set with white pigment ink onto my card front.  Once it was dry, I blended some pink ink over it.  I love how there is a ghost image of it!  Next, I pulled out the Notions Stamp Set.  I stamped the thread bobbins in some fun colors.  I stamped the sentiment over the top in black and added some stamped hearts around the outside.  I embellished with just a few puffy black heart stickers. Here is a closer look:


I love how this one turned out!  Layering stamps is fun!

The challenge is still going on through this week so I hope if you have a chance, you'll play along with us!  The challenges have been so inspiring this season!  Don't forget to pop over to the Waffle Flower Blog to see what the other ladies created this week!

Stamp Layering With White Ink

Hello!  I am sharing a video about this simple layered stamping technique on the Waffle Flower Crafts blog today!  It is simple and may not have warranted a video but sometimes it's easy to forget just how simple techniques can be!  They don't all need to take a half an hour to do, right? :)


This card features the DT Mix Stamp Set, Holiday Labels-Merry Stamp Set, Doily Circle Stamp Set, and Flower Circle Dies.  I did some layering with white cardstock as well.  I kept the embellishments and layout simple so the stamping would really stand out.
Here is a closer look at the center:

A Merry and Bright One-Layer Card

Look at this!  Two posts in two days?  I am loving it!! :)
Today I am sharing a fun card I made this weekend using a christmastime favorite from Waffle Flower Crafts:


This one ended up being only one layer.  I was going to cut out the design and add it to a different card front but loved how simple and bold it looked on the white.  I ended up cutting it down to a square instead!
The stamps are from the Doily Square Stamp Set and the Holiday Labels-Merry Stamp Set.  I started by stamping the center part.  I inked up the stamp with coral ink and then spritzed it with some water.  You can see the water spots in the stamped image- isn't that cool?
I added the green stamped doily next and then stamped the sentiment and label in black.  I added a few black snowflakes, a splatter of coral ink, and a few sequins to finish this one off!


This one was super quick to create but super fun!  I am loving the stamp layering technique- it's the Waffle Flower Challenge this month and it's been inspiring my cards! :)  Pop over to the Waffle Flower Blog for more info on the challenge!

Poinsettia Card

Hello!

Guess what!  I made it through my first semester back at school!!  I am finishing up my final essays and tests this week but the classes are done and I'm feeling pretty good about it!  Yay!!  I am so excited to have a month off and have already started some new projects.  I even pulled out my stamps to play just for fun!  It has been since August since that happened- not that design team work isn't fun lol!  I am so thankful to have that to force me to get crafty every so often. :)

Today I thought I'd share a card I made using a new stamp set I picked up from Stampin' Up! this season:


This set is called Reason for the Season.  It has this pretty 3-step flower and some great sentiments.  I paired it with my favorite new tag die by Neat and Tangled and some paper from My Mind's Eye.  I embellished with a few sequins, some washi tape, a bit of twine and gold thread.  A little bit of sparkle made this one really pretty!


I am so happy to have a few more minutes to my day now!  I will try to share like crazy while I can lol! :)  Hope you are all doing well!  Thanks for popping to to look today!
