I really love how this project turned out using the NEW PS Swoosh stencil! Instead of using a stencil with inks, watercolor, or paste, I decided to go a different route- SEWING:)
You should definitely try stitching a stencil design or stitching on cardstock because it is super easy! Here are a few steps of how I created this card.
 Step 1: Tape down your stencil (or use Pixie Dust spray or another adhesive to make sure your stencil stays in place)
Step 2: Trace the stencil image LIGHTLY using a pencil
Step 3: Stitch the image using multiple stitch lengths **For curves and tight areas I lowered the stitch to a 2 or 1.5; For other lines I had the stitch length at at 3. Be sure to go slow when stitching on paper!! 
Use a pair of scissors to cut off the excess thread
Step 4: Lightly remove pencil markings (my favorite brush to remove eraser tidbits is a make-up brush! LOL!) **Be careful not to push too hard with your eraser- you could crinkle the paper or pull a thread. 
Step 5: Finish card using embellishments, stamped sentiments, ribbons, etc! 

I decided to cut this card down a bit and add a few clear droplets by The Stamp Market. This card was super easy to make, and I love how it turned out! 
PS stamps/dies/stencils used include: Swoosh stencil, Sympathy Sampler

Be sure to stop by the PS blog for details about this blog hop and giveaway! And don't forget to leave some love along the hop:) 

That's it for me today- THANK YOU so much for stopping by! Be blessed ❤️

Being sick for most of the month of January was awful 😷🤧 and resulted in me to not being able to play in my studio until this past weekend. Let me tell you ---I had SOOOOOOOOOOOO much fun designing and creating with my new PS goodies!

For my project today, I created a fun birthday card for a friend using the NEW PS Happy Hellos stamp set.
I was inspired by THIS traveler notebook layout by Ashley Horton (2018). I love how this little birdie looks watercolored in a bright yellow! I think I might color him green next time🐦 **That's as close to a green bird emoji I could find! LOL! 


PS stamps/dies/stencils used include: Half Moon paper, Ornaments dies, Happy Hellos

Be sure to stop by the PS blog for details about this blog hop and giveaway! And don't forget to leave some love along the hop:)

I **FINALLY** was able to get into the studio this weekend and loved creating my projects for the PS January release!!! I am featuring the NEW I Heart You die set today.
These dies are perfect for sending love to just about anyone!! I decided to create a masculine card... possibly for my favorite man in the world😍

The sentiment is two die cut parts layered together- the full background and a thin lined sentiment. Super fun to work with- and I image you can layer these with just about any color combo for a fun look!

To complete my card, I pulled out some of my new Honey Bee Stamps 6x6 Great Outdoors papers and paired that with a quick double die cut sentiment from gray and vellum cardstock, and finished with a few hearts.  EASY!
PS stamps/dies/stencils used include: Group Hugs, Hearts dies, Tiny Hearts dies, I Heart You dies

I am super excited about this NEW Stitch Builder die set. I have sooooooooooooooo many ideas for this set that include gem piecing, geometric designs, cross stitching, markers, and MORE!! I wish I had more time to finish my other ideas and creations before today--- I will share them as soon as I can:)
For today, I created a very simple cross-stitched flower design (no pattern available- I just made something up; that's why you might see some mistakes! LOL!) using the Stitch Builder die set. This set comes with multiple sizes of hole patterns to create any size of a stitched background for your project! I chose to use the large hole pattern for this card.

I also used the solid aqua-green paper from Kim's NEW Rainbow Sherbet paper pack! I loooooooooooove these colors and the patterns are super cute as well!
PS stamps/dies/stencils used include: Word Up, Layered Hello, Rainbow Sherbet paper, Stitch Builder

This month I played with the NEW Savvy stencil. I had a lot of fun with this scallop design!
This first card is special- it's for Trav! We celebrate 13 years of marriage this Sunday ❤️ I tried to make a simple design with masculine colors. My FAVORITE part of this card are the little gold flowers--- I used the NEW Botanicals stencil (a sneak peek can be found in the photo below!) with a FOIL PEN!!! It's my new favorite tool to use with my PS stencils! 👏🏻
PS stamps/dies/stencils used include: Savvy, Inverted Notes, Botanicals

I flipped the scallops and created grey clouds for the next card. I wanted to make an encouraging card for a friend--- you can't go wrong with a rainbow:) **You can see a sneak peek of the NEW Thinking of You die on this card!!
PS stamps/dies/stencils used include: Savvy, Thinking of You

Paper Smooches + Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog Hop ********************GIVEAWAY

Hello, friends:) 
I'm super excited about joining in the fun with the Coffee Loving Cardmakers and the Paper Smooches DT for a hop! 
We are excited to share some caffeinated cards with you. Details about the blog hop can be found below;) 

SAVfact: I do not like coffee. Making a coffee card is a whole other thing🙃 Last week I saw an illustration of a drowsy hand coming out of a bed with a comforter and pillows with the saying "Good morning". I instantly knew I had to use that as my inspiration for my coffee card today!! 

I created a bedroom scene using some Fancy Pants Designs Golden Days 6x6 papers with the Paper Smooches Rose Frame (headboard) and Stitched Frames (pillows) dies. The comforter was hand-drawn. I love the little coffee mug from the Coffee & Tea die set- it's the perfect size for this card. I used the illustration as my guide for hand-drawing the arm and fingers. I stamped a custom sentiment to finish. SOOOOOOOOOOOO fun:) 
The pillows are made from tissue paper!?!?!? So cute:) 
Look closely for the steam :) 

Here are some other coffee themed cards I've made:) 
 
 
 
  
 
 

Please hop along to be inspired and have a chance to win a prize. Visit The Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog to begin or click on any or all of the links shared below.

I hope you will stop back again soon- I have at least 25 projects to share in the next few weeks:) I can't wait!

This month I was able to play in the studio a little longer, which means I have TWO cards for you using the NEW You Are A Blessing die.
This first one is so simple, which is NOT my style! However, I love how simple and elegant this card turned out to be❤️ #winwin
I wanted to create a white on white using white cardstock and white tissue paper. I know you can't see the white tissue paper much in these photos 😩  but it really adds the sweetest touch of elegance to this card! The die was cut from gold metallic paper. I ended up only using the letters, which means I will have extra pieces for another project:) #bonus
This next card is definitely my style of layers and patterned papers:) I pulled out some of my older Pink Paislee Cedar Lane 6x6 papers and mixed and matched for the background design then layered the die cut sentiment/frame along with other embellishments. This second card was easier to make than the first! LOL! 🙃
I love this NEW You Are A Blessing die because it has a stitched frame and a rectangle with the sentiment--- technically that's 3 different pieces for this die- SO FUN!
PS stamps/dies/stencils used include: You Are A Blessing die, Inverted Notes,  Butterflies 2

Be sure to stop by the PS blog for details about this blog hop and giveaway! And don't forget to leave some love along the hop:)

Kim has created a fun little Expressions die set that can literally be used on any of her other dies and images to create a face. It has lips, eyelashes, a smile/mouth, and eyes. I have been seeing lots of rainbows lately here in Florida after our afternoon showers and decided to give this little rainbow a face:)

I love this little card----> it encourages and really could be used for just about anyone! Including our guy friends- all you have to do is use the eyes and mouth.
For our girlfriends add some eyelashes.
PS stamps/dies/stencils used include: Sunnyville, Spreading Sunshine, Inverted Greetings, Spectrum stamps/dies, Expression dies, Curly Clouds dies
