Paper Issues - Stamp of Approval Challenge

Hi everyone!

Today I'm sharing the last Mother's Day card I made for this year, I gotta say I'm pretty much over it by now LOL. I will enter this one for the Stamp of Approval Challenge at Paper Issues.

I think this one is actually my favorite of all the Mother's Day cards I have made. First I stamped the hibiscus flowers with Distress Oxide inks (Spun Sugar and Picked Raspberry) from the Altenew Totally Tropical stamp set. Then I masked the flowers to stamp the background with the 'I love you' sentiment from the Honey Bee Best Parents stamp set with Distress Oxide Pumice Stone. The 'Happy Mother's Day' sentiment is from that same stamp set as well. To finish the card up, I clear heat embossed the big sentiment and the dark pink parts of the flowers and I added some Nuvo Crystal Drops.

Thank you for stopping by today!

Paper Issues - Stamp of Approval Challenge

Hi everyone,

Today I have a couple more cards to share that I've made for the Stamp of Approval Challenge at Paper Issues.

For all cards I used the Altenew Totally Tropical stamp set.
On the first card I stamped the images with Distress Oxide inks, added the quote and some Nuvo drops.

For the next two cards I made backgrounds with three Distress Oxide colors on watercolor paper, stamped and white heat embossed the flowers and leaves on it and fussy cut them. The hummingbird stamp is from Deep Red Stamps and I stamped 'Saba' with Elle's Studio Jane Alphabet stamp. 

The quote on the third card is from the Best Parents stamp set from Honey Bee stamps.

Paper Issues - Stamp of Approval Challenge

Hi everyone!

Today I have two cards to share that I've made for the Stamp of Approval Challenge at Paper Issues.

For both cards I first made backgrounds with three different colors of Distress Oxide Ink. Then I stamped the mermaid tail and shell with Versamark and gold heat embossed them. I stamped the quote with black archival ink and clear heat embossed it. All these stamps are from Ellen Hutson's Mermaid Tail and Inner Mermaid stamp sets. 

The dolphin stamp is from Deep Red Stamps, I love their fine detailed images!

Thank you for stopping by and have a great day!

Paper Issues - Scraplift Sunday

Hi everyone!

Today I'm sharing another layout that I've made over the weekend, this one is for the Scraplift Sunday challenge at Paper Issues. I used their March Greener Pastures kit with papers from Vicki Boutin and Pinkfresh Studio and embellishments from Crate Paper and Vicki Boutin.

Thank you for stopping by today!

National Scrapbooking Day

Hi everyone!

I hope all you crafters enjoyed National Scrapbooking Day. I did for sure as I was able to get two layouts, two cards and an art journal page done! It's been a real long time since I got that much done in a day.

Today I'm sharing the layout I made for a special sketch challenge at Paper Issues. The sketch was made especially for NSD. I used the Echo Park Paper Mermaid Dreams collection, along with a Dylusions Scales stencil, Vicki Boutin Rose Gold Glaze and Nuvo Crystal Drops.

It's such a pain to get the Rose Gold Glaze photographed properly, it almost looks like you've smeared chocolate on your page :-) I think the layout looks so much better in person.

Thank you for stopping by and have a great day!
