Painted Harvest

Painted Harvest is a new bundle in the 2017 Holiday Catalog.  It is so perfect for any fall and thanksgiving cards.  It includes the stamps set and can be bundled with the Leaf Punch.  The sunflower stamp is a two step stamp, but is very forgiving and easy to layer and get a great look.

Night in Bethlehem

A sneak peak into the New Holiday Catalog that will be starting in September.

Night In Bethlehem is a stamp set and thinlits bundle, and it is perfect for very simple but elegant looking cards.  I started out with neutral colors as that seemed to be what I was drawn to for these cards, but I am eager to continue to try new colors combos.  This shadowbox card was the perfect design to create some depth!

More Country Livin with a little Heartland

I grew up listening to Country Music, and for a little while took guitar lessons.  I definitely have a few individuals that I could see sending either of these two cards to.

Country Livin - Truck

This is another stamp from the Country Livin Stamp Set, it looks great with watercolor.  Over the past few years, my youngest daughter Clare has fallen in love with the show American Pickers. She has developed a real enjoyment for old things and after going to the Iola Car Show last year, vehicles are on that list as well.  So this truck fits with her style, and she told me the other day that her first choice would be light blue, so I will have to do another card for her.

Colorful Seasons first attempt

The Colorful Seasons stamp set was on my wishlist when the new catalog was released, but it was also a stamp set that I wasn't convinced that I needed it until I saw more ideas.  Well I did get the set, and it was to warm to think about any of the other seasons, and I was focused on summer and relaxing.  I think I was also a little focused on Dapper Denim as my color of choice.

Country Livin Boots

I think this was my favorite card that I stamped this past weekend.  I love the watercolor pencils and the look and detail that they can create with the watercolor brush.  The Trellis Textured Impressions Embossing folder added just the pop that this card needed.

Stamping while Camping

This past weekend was our family get away weekend, we went up north with the plan to relax and unwind.  Everyone took a book to read and some games, the stamps also were brought along and I had sometime to use a few new stamps.
