Layered Brew

 

I really liked the background Sarah did for her beer mug focal piece. It looks like she used a different stamp set for the beer mug, so I just used what I had. 

The sentiment is from the 'Artfully Layered' stamp set.

The sprinkles are from the 'Artisan Textures' stamp set.

The squares are from the die-cut set called 'Layering Sqaures'

I added a Wink of Stella to the foam to make it shine.

Thanks for taking a closer look!

Artisan Palms

 

This is a card for my husband! He and I love Hawaii and go usually every year. BUT... with COVID we have not been for 2 whole years now! We miss it! We have made plans on going for our 20th anniversary in October! Hopefully nothing will change, so that we can go!

I paired the 'Paradise Palms' stamp set with the 'Artisan Textures' stamp set.

Hoppy Pad

 

I love how this card came out! I was inspired by two of Narelle Farrugia's cards... which you can see here:

Thanks so much Narelle for your inspiration!

There was a lot of masking to create the scene you see here.

I stamped the frog  (from the 'So Hoppy Together' stamp set) first. Then placing a mask (scrap piece of paper cut out with the exact image of the frog) over the frog, I stamped the lily pad (from the 'Lovely Lily Pad' stamp set) that he is sitting on. I used the same technique for the big and small lotus blossom. I then masked (scrap piece of paper cut out with the exact images) each and every stamped image, and stamped with the 'Artisan Textures' stamp over the background for a water scene.

The sentiment is from the 'Sending You Thoughts' stamp set.

I used several different colors here:

The frog is in Mossy Meadow and So Saffron

The flower Petals are in Purple Posy and Highland Heather. The leaves are Just Jade.

The Lily Pads are Mint Macaron and Soft Sea Foam.

The textured background is in Pool Party (stamped off once on a scrap piece of paper to make the tone lighter)

I added a Wink of Stella to the flower petals to make them shine.

Thanks for hopping by!

Artisan Sail

Sailing High

 

What a cute card (right) from Priscilla's Papercrafts blog (found on Pinterest)! I just needed to create one of my own using the stamps and papers I had to make it my own.

Now, this card did take many different stamp sets to achieve.

Sailing Home for the ships.... along with the coordinating 'Smooth Sailing' dies.

Colorful Seasons for the drink... along with the coordinating 'Seasonal Layers' dies for the chair.

High Tide for the ocean waves.

Artisan Textures for the grains of sand.

Bonanza Buddies for the sentiment.

I used a sponge roller to layer the background color with Coastal Cabana. Then, with the 'High Tide' stamp.... I first inked my stamp, then stamped off on a scrap piece of paper, then stamped onto the cardstock over the roller layer.

I wanted a card for my nephew (my godson) who loves 'League of Legends'. He IS a gamer, so when I saw Carolynn Sander's card... I knew I was making one for my nephew too.  I did change mine up a bit to make it my own, but wanted to thank Carolynn for her inspiration!

Artisan Morning

 

When I saw Cindee Wilkinson's card... I just knew I had to make one for myself (or rather, for my niece's birthday). Thanks Cindee for your inspiration!

Now, when I stamped the sentiment on my card.... it happens... sometimes I get the edge of the stamp on the card too. Picture here: 

Now, I could have chosen to get another piece of cardstock and stamped the sentiment again. But, I was creative and decided to cover the oops up with some strategically placed flowers.  See.... doesn't it look like they belong there!

I just fell in love with Zoe's card (right) from the Stamping Scene Blog. Such a a cute way to frame the sentiment! Thanks Zoe for your lovely inspiration!

I chose to create a 4.25x5.5 card rather than a square card. I also used different frames and stamps than what Zoe did, but it was similar enough that I wanted to give her the credit! I made the frame from the 'Layered Squares' framelits. The flowers and leaves are from the stamp set 'Beautiful Bouquet' with it's coordinating 'Bouquet Bunch' framelits.

Artisan Wings

I needed several 'Thank You' cards, so I chose the same card, but with differing colors on each!

Each card has a stamped background from the 'Artisan Textures' stamp set. The Butterflies and the sentiment is from the 'Watercolor Wings' stamp set.

I used the Stamparatus to stamp each butterfly in these combo colors - Balmy Blue/Night of Navy, Highland Heather/Blackberry Bliss, Grapefruit Grove/Soft Suede, Smoky Slate/Basic Gray, Daffodil Delight/Mango Melon


I chose to change the gray one up a bit more by using a Smoky Slate background instead of white cardstock too!
