All of the March 2021 New Release stamps are 15% off through March 8th! No codes needed, 

just put them in your shopping cart and the discount will be applied at checkout.

Here's what I made:


This card uses:

SS129 To Ride a Horse (set of 5)
A Colorful Life Stencils 'Messy Diamond Grid' and 'Cloud Edger'
Ink Blending Brushes

For the above card, the horse was stamped 3 times onto white cardstock, using a 'stamping off' technique, and moving the stamp a little bit each time. This hopefully, gave the appearance of 

running horse(s). Using some Ink Blending Brushes, and the Messy Diamond Grid Stencil, and 

brown distress oxide ink, I stenciled around the images. Next, I used some blue Distress Oxide 

Ink and the Cloud Edger Stencil, to create some clouds over the diamond grid. The sentiment 

was stamped, a piece of burlap trim added to the bottom of the card, and some faux stitches 

drawn on. The panel was adhered to a panel of woodgrain, then to a gray/brown card base.

This card uses:

SS129 To Ride a Horse (set of 5)

Patterned paper

Die cuts

To create the above card, the image and sentiment were stamped onto a panel of patterned 

wood-grained paper. The heart border was die cut first from darker woodgrain paper, then from 

gold cardstock. The gold hearts were placed into the woodgrain openings, and the panel was 

adhered to a card base.

This card uses:

SS129 To Ride a Horse (set of 5)

Patterned Paper

Die cut

The sentiment was stamped in brown ink, and matted in green. A green card base was 

covered with two pieces of patterned paper, and the sentiment was popped up on the focal 

panels. A brown heart from the precious card was adhered for balance. Easy!

I hope you like this beautiful new release! Great stuff is yet to come this month!

Blue Knight Rubber Stamps - Building Beavers

 Hello, my creative friends!

I'm excited to be guest designing for Blue Knight Rubber Stamps for the month of October!

I got to work with this company last year and I very much enjoyed creating with their beautiful, high quality stamps. I was eager to get started with the fun stamps that Lynn Anderson sent me this month.

For this post, I used this Blue Knight Rubber Stamps set:

Building Beavers 11-12-0251

I was asked to use each stamp set in two different ways. So... this first card is stamped and colored right out of the package, with no embellishing. Isn't is a fun image?

(I have to tell on myself here) I was totally done with this image, and just touching up a spot here and there with my Copics, and I drifted off. The marker was apparently quite still in one place on the image. Do you see it?  Yep, the blooper on the tail of the beaver on the right!  

This second card uses the same stamp set, but with some changes (and no bloopers), to make the two cards look different.  

For the above card, I changed up to a 5" square shape, and added some strips of Washi Tape, along with one of the nice sentiments from the set.

Hope you like it, and are inspired to check out the Blue Knight Rubber Stamps Blog (link below) for more inspiration from the design team!

Blue Knight Rubber Stamps - Cute Koala

 Hello, friends!

I'm excited to be guest designing for Blue Knight Rubber Stamps for the month of October!

I got to work with this company last year and I very much enjoyed creating with their beautiful, high quality stamps. I was eager to get started with the fun stamps that Lynn Anderson sent me this month.

For this post, I used this Blue Knight Rubber Stamps set:

Cute Koala 11-12-0250

I was asked to use each stamp set in two different ways. My first card is stamped and colored right out of the package, with no embellishing. Isn't is a sweet image? All coloring is done with Copic Markers, and the highlights are done with a white gel pen. After the image was stamped and colored, I gently blended on the sky, and blended a second time with the same blue Distress Oxide Ink, but used an oval stencil to sort of 'frame' the cute little critter.

This second card uses the same stamp set, but with some changes, to make the two cards look different.  I used a cloud stencil to give the sky an evening look, changed up the color of the Koala, and used no white gel pen on any of the image.
