Hello! I am back from my trip to visit Laurie, Amy and Jen, with lots of Kansas Kreations! I will share them here throughout the next week or so. I had so much fun and am so thankful for the chance to hang out with these beautiful ladies - extra special thanks to Laurie for opening her home to me! xoxo

I packed light for my trip; I brought a few Simon Says Stamp card kits and Nina Yang’s new sets from Avery Elle - these are what I am featuring this week. Today’s card uses Simply Tags: Everyday along with the coordinating dies:

Didn’t Nina do such a fantastic job designing these sets and dies? I am so proud of her! I think this makes for such a sweet wedding card.

Have an awesome day…my vacation continues for a few weeks here, so I am off to do some cleaning, shopping and more packing!

It’s time for another Neat and Tangled Stamps release and today we are featuring projects made with On the Strip 2!

On my first project, I used the mini-washi strip to stamp two bars across the bottom of my card onto patterned paper, in a caramel color that matches the sentiment stickers above. I then tied some crochet thread between the two bars:

On my next card, I combined cream, gray and gold to make a wedding card. I stamped the dotted washi stamp from this set onto the cardstock first, and then I used circle punches to cut the circles in an interlocking (not overlapping) pattern:

I added the Prima flower and some twine, along with the sentiment from the previously released Fresh Blooms.

If you loved the original On the Strip, you are going to love this second edition too! Head on over to the Neat and Tangled blog to see more of today’s projects!

Hi everyone! This is it. My final post as a guest designer for the Clear and Simple Stamps Collection 4 release. I think it has gone by too super-fast. My heart is full of happiness from all your support over the last two months; I am so grateful to Nicki at CSS for inviting me to do this, and to the whole DT for their encouragement along the way. This opportunity has been amazing.

With Labor Day approaching fast, our challenge this month was to make a white on white card. White paper, ribbon, diecuts, etc. And cream or beige would not make the cut! Tough, right? I have never made a card like this before, but I am actually excited about how it turned out:

I heat embossed the border stamp from Background Basics 2 in Versamark using glitter embossing powder, and embellished each flower center with a clear rhinestone. Then I stamped a sentiment from Party Elements: Celebration (an awesome set) just above that strip before cutting and layering the panel onto some addition white cardstock.

Here is a list of fabulous ladies who are playing along with today’s Clear and Simple Stamps White Out Challenge:

Happy hoppin’ and see you again soon,

This week’s Tuesday Trigger on the Moxie Fab World Blog really caught my eye, so I drummed up the idea for this card on the way home from work the other night. I really love how these Thickers letter stickers look on this card, which ended up being 5.25″ square, big for me! Here is the inspiration photo:

What are your plans for the weekend? I’m getting a haircut and running a very first A Muse Studio party at Jessica’s; hoping to have a ton of fun with everyone!

Last night I made this card with this Market Street Stamps Color Cue challenge in mind:

Have a great day! Weekend is almost here!
