Stampin’ Sunday – Tips

Welcome to the July Stamping Sunday Blog Hop. This month, our theme is “Bish, Bash, Bosh” or tips (for us Americans – haha.) Our creative design teammate Mikaela Tithridge from the U.K. came up with this great idea. It should be a lot of fun! I can’t wait to see what the team dreams up!!! I decided to focus on tips/techniques for easy watercolor stamping. I used the Tropical Leaf… Read More »

Color Fusers Blog Hop — July 2023

Welcome to the Color Fusers Blog Hop for July 2023. This month, we have a bright and beautiful color combination of Azure Afternoon, Daffodil Delight, and Pumpkin Pie.

It was such a nice change of pace to just sit back, relax, and let others teach while I got to follow along and craft. Creativity Now is open… Read More »

#TGIFC414 — Use Your Scraps — Tropical Leaf Bundle

Happy Friday!!! Our theme for this week’s TGIF Challenge is “Use Your Scraps.” This theme raises a big question, do you keep your scraps? I know stampers who keep every single scrap, no matter how small and others who don’t keep any. I tend to fall in the middle. I keep larger scraps, especially basics. For colored cardstocks, I only keep larger scraps because I don’t like the mess. And… Read More »

#TGIFC412 — Magical Challenge

Happy Friday!!! For this week’s TGIF Challenge, we have a theme of “Magical.” When I saw the prompt photo below, it brought back memories of my daughter when she was little and loved unicorns. She even dressed up like a unicorn one Halloween. Needless to say, she’s grown up now. In fact, she’ll be turning the big 25 soon! All these thoughts prompted me to design a fanciful, and magical,… Read More »

#TGIFC392 — Inspiration Challenge

Welcome to a new TGIF Challenge. This week, our challenge is “What would you do without black ink?” Ha, that’s easy for me!!! I rarely use black ink unless I’m coloring with Stampin’ Blends or watercoloring a detail image. Typically, I use lots of color and love embossing in white, gold or silver. My card today is a SUPER special one for my hubby. Our 32nd anniversary is coming up… Read More »
