WITCH SWITCH
MODERN CIRCLES - SET OF 9

I love the new Modern Circles! Look at this awesome background! There are 9 different stamps in this set...some solid, the rest with different patterns. This is a very versatile set, with lots of ways to use it! Along with the background, I added the Witch Switch stamp. Don't you dig the purple glitter boots (Nuvo Glitter Markers)?
❀❀❀❀

WICKED HALLOWEEN
HANDS REACHING OUT

These hands! They just kill me! Paired with the Wicked Halloween sentiment, it's a great card. I added a very shiny moon (Nuvo Glitter Markers), some "splatters" and a couple of purple embellishments. Easy peasy.

❀❀❀❀

MILE ON MY BROOM

This is such a fun sentiment! I added some gold vellum and a piece of brown cardstock over the broom to give it a little distinction from the text. 

❀❀❀❀

KITTY MUG SHOT, SET OF 8
Paw Prints Background (not new)

This, admittedly, is my absolute favorite set from the release! There are 7 hilarioius sentiments to go with this mug shot kitty. (Be sure to check out the Technique Junkies Blog tomorrow for another sample!) You may remember seeing this kitty before. Christmas Mug Shot, with the "I knocked down the xmas tree" sentiment, has been a very popular stamp. Now the kitty is back with new interchangeable sentiments. I've been having a blast with this set!

❀❀❀❀

LEAVES AND DRAGONFLIES
Art of God (not new)

I love how this background turned out. It is a lovely stamp...I just added different ink colors to different areas, along with a little marker coloring on the stamp, to create this fall-y background.

BE A FRUITLOOP

I created a fun fold card to feature this adorable stamp. What a fun stamp to color! I used my beloved Polychromos for the coloring on this one after stamping with Versafine Clair Ink.

❀❀❀❀
I GOT THIS FOR YOU

Oh My Gosh! I LOVE this stamp! As a cat owner, I totally appreciate the humor here. I stamped it with Versafine Clair Ink and added some matting and whimsical background papers, along with a couple of enamel elements, to create this fun card!

❀❀❀❀
GNOMIES FOREVER, SET OF 11

This super fun and trendy stamp set is sure to create lots of smiles with it's set of 11 stamps (which includes six different sentiments and five adorable gnomes). I had so much fun coloring in these cute lil guys! I used my Brother Scan-N-Cut to do my fussy-cutting for me and added them to a fun background paper. I popped up a couple of the guys for a little more dimension.
❀❀❀❀
A LITTLE BIT OF MARILYN
Paired with Marilyn (not a new stamp)

This is such a great sentiment! And, of course, I just HAD to pair it up with the Marilyn stamp. The bold red background totally complements the lightly colored image. And what would a Marilyn card be without "diamonds"?

❀❀❀❀
CIRCULAR VINES
Paired with Enjoy Every Moment (not a new stamp)

I love the elegant look you can create with this beautiful background stamp. I began by creating a gorgeous shimmery background with Harvest Sunset Shimmering Bliss. I then stamped and embossed the background stamp and sentiment. The sentiment was die cut with a shadow die.

❀❀❀❀
MAD MOD LACE
Paired with Simple Sentiments 2A (not new)

Don't you just love this background? I enjoyed coloring this with my colored pencils. I didn't want to take away from this beautiful design, so I added a simple, popped up sentiment.

SUNNY DANDELIONS

I'm feeling sunny today with some whimsical dandelions and watercolor. 


I'm using one of the new releases from Technique Junkies, plus an oldy favorite.

MODERN DANDELIONS
SIMPLE SENTIMENTS 3B
I love the Simple Sentiments sets from Technique Junkies. If you haven't checked them out yet, you should! There are 9 different compilations which include black text, white text in a black box, and vertical. I find myself using these sets over and over (and over!) again.

This card was created by first stamping and heat embossing the dandelions with clear embossing powder (in hind site, I think white would work better). I then did a wash of watercolor with shades from yellow to orange. I trimmed it down and attached it to an A2 card base. I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment in black and trimmed the strip down. That was attached using foam tape. A couple of dimensional dots finished off the card.

I've got a beautiful card I will be sharing on their blog next Wednesday (7/22/20) so I hope you come visit me there as well!

❀❀❀❀
SUMMER BARN (S845) - NEW!
Simple Sentiments Set 2 Style B (SS02b)
I am in absolute LOVE with this stamp! I stamped it in black ink and colored it in with Polychromos Pencils. A little sticker border and stamped sentiment finished off the card.


❀❀❀❀
DANDELIONS IN THE WIND (S866) - NEW!
Weed or Wish (SD694)
I happen to love dandelions. Whether they are sunny yellow or ready to blow in the wind. The beauty of these dainty blooms was captured by using silver embossing powder. I added a silver edge to the panel with Nuvo Glimmer Markers, and the sentiment is from an older set (another dandelion favorite of mine) stamped with black ink on silver cardstock.


❀❀❀❀
FLORAL CARD FRAME (S872) - NEW!
Kindness Matters (SDX026)
This frame stamp is so delicate and so elegant. I felt all it needed was a very simple sentiment. The image was stamped in black ink and the flowers were colored with markers. 

❀❀❀❀
WISH UPON A STARFISH (SD1031) - NEW!
What a fun stamp! The image was stamped on a card panel and masked off. I added some blow marker spray in blue and green. The image was colored in with both Nuvo Glimmer Markers and Kaisercraft Gel Pens. Both pen types add a wonderful shimmer and sparkle to your colored projects.
❀❀❀❀
MODERN DANDELIONS (S868) - NEW!Simple Sentiments Set 2 Style B (SS02b)
Another absolutely adorable dandelion stamp makes its debut this month. This is going to be a fun one to play with...I have so many ideas! For this one, I stamped and embossed the flowers, added some gold stickers, and stamped the sentiment in black onto gold cardstock.
❀❀❀❀
STAYS AT THE BEACH (SD1030) - NEW!
What an absolutely adorable stamp! Love the little top hat and pearls! You could change out the sentiment and this would make an adorable wedding or anniversary card! For this card, I stamped the image in black in and used both Polychromos Pencils and Nuvo Glitter Markers to add some color and shine. I found some sand printed paper for a background and added a couple of small shells to finish off the card.
