PPP: Love You to the Core

Good morning!  This past weekend I went apple picking with my family.  It's something we love to do every year. Eating one of those apples this morning reminded me of this card I made wih Pretty Pink Posh's newest release.  

I had so much fun stamping again (I tend to lean heavily on dies these days) and used the new Patterned Apples Stamp Set to create my background.  I trimmed that panel and adhered it to the largest Eyelet Rectangle Die. 

I used the sentiment as the focal point.  The "thanks" comes from the new Many Thanks Shadow Dies and the stamped sentiment is from the Patterned Apples Stamp Set. 

I added a little apple from the Fall Basket Dies, which I thought paired perfectly with the sentiment and adhered everything on top of an Eyelet Circles Die.  Blending ink on the border of the eyelet circle helped it stand out just enough from the background. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope you are off to a happy start of your week. :)

SSS Stamptember Waffle Flower Collab: Hello Sunshine

Hello, friends!  Today's Simon Says Stamp's Stamptember collaboration is with Waffle Flower, and I'm excited to share this limited edition stamp set with you.  It's called Hello Sunshine and it's full of warm, encouraging, heartfelt sentiments.  I truly love it!  

I pulled out Waffle Flower's The View Die and their Nesting Circles Dies to create this serene scene.  I used a delicious combination of Concord and 9th colors for the layers: (starting from the bottom) Cayenne, Sorbet, Grapefruit, Nectar, Powder, Midnight.  

I repeated Sorbet and Nectar for the sun and just love the idea of the rising sun paired with the Hello Sunshine sentiment "keep looking up".  It's so hopeful! 

I used the largest stitched rectangle from the A6 Lacy Layers Dies to cut a wheat card base that would quite literally frame this pretty scene.  

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Remember this fantastic set is only available while supplies last, so make sure you grab yours quickly.  Have a blessed weekend!

Concord & 9th: Happy Headlines...the finale

Hello, friends!  I cannot believe we are already here, but today is my final official post for Concord & 9th's August Release.  It has been an absolute joy guest designing for them this month! 

Today we are sharing projects using the Happy Headlines Bundle.  Both my parents and in-laws celebrate their anniversaries in a few weeks, so I knew right away that I would make an anniversary card although Happy Headlines Bundle works for LOTS of celebratory occasions. 

I wanted all the little extras to pop, so I went pretty literal with the newspaper colors (cobblestone stamped onto pebble cardstock).

There are so many cute dies in this set, but since I love flowers, this darling little bouquet of flowers caught my eye.  Those petite little blooms are so cute! I cut them in sunflower, grapefruit, and watermelon, with evergreen stems. Then I added various hearts from the Happy Headlines Dies. 

Thank you so very much for joining me this wonderfully crazy week.  I hope that you have enjoyed it as much as I have!

Concord & 9th: Door Decor

Hello!  It is sad to say, but my time guest designing with Concord and 9th this month is winding down.  I've enjoyed it immensely.  I love creating with their products and it has been fun to push myself to try new things and new color combinations. Today we are sharing Door Decor Bundle, and oh was it ever fun to create with!

As I created today's card I was very much wishing I could wave a magic wand and transform it into a real door at my home.   I used the Door Decor Bundle exclusively on this card, and the most wonderful thing is that the dies included will help you create doors for all seasons. I know the dies are currently sold out, but I'm sure they will be restocked soon, so run and get on that waiting list.

I chose the lovely color palette of mushroom doors with pebble windows and gold foil door handles. The Door Decor Dies cut a shaped interactive card, so I used pebble on my card base as well. 

Then I decorated the front porch for fall with lots of pumpkins and leaf garlands galore in nectar, grapefruit, wheat, pebble, cobblestone.  There are so many possibilities with the Door Decor Dies!

I added a nectar banner and gold embossed one of the sentiments in the Door Decor Stamp Set.

Remember the part about these dies being interactive?  Well, those beautiful doors open to whatever lovely message you decided to include on the inside.  So cute, right?

I think the Door Decor Bundle is so much fun!  I have a second card that I've made using these dies that I will share soon.  I'm not sure which one is my favorite, but I'd take either of them for my real doors in a heartbeat.

Thank you for visiting today!  I hope you'll stop by tomorrow for one last post guest designing for Concord and 9th's August Release.

Concord & 9th Autumn Inlay Die

Good morning!  I am delighted to be showcasing Concord & 9th's Autumn Inlay Die today.  I used it yesterday, too, and truthfully I could have used it again and again. 

If you are wondering what my favorite products are from this entire Concord & 9th August release, look no farther! I absolutely adore the More To Say Dies and Autumn Inlay Die. 

I happen to really enjoy paper piecing, so Autumn Inlay Die is right up my alley.  I chose the a pebble base and pieced in briar rose, spiced cider, eucalyptus, pebble, wheat, and cobblestone. 

I repeated the colors (cobblestone, spiced cider, briar rose, and eucalyptus) with the More To Say Dies.

I hope you have a blessed Sunday, friends!  I have a couple more cards to share this week.  This release really was a big one!
