In My Heart Collection - Best Mom Ever

 It's time for a new Simon Says Stamp release! This release is called In My Heart and I'm showcasing a card that features the "Thanks, Mom" stamp set...


The sentiments are perfect for an anytime card, a birthday, mother's day, thank you's etc etc. I love a multi-use set! I used the "Best Mom Ever" sentiment heat embossed in white. Fun fact! March 19th is my mom's birthday!! So I turned this into a celebratory card to send to her.

The Layered Party Hats Stencil really pulled this card into the birthday theme for my mom. It is a 4 layer stencil that I inked with Concord and 9th inks: Ballet Slippers, Fig, Lakefront, and Grapefruit.


The sentiment was embossed on the Lakefront Cardstock that was cut from Eyelet Ovals Dies. I also layered a larger Eyelet Ovals die with white glitter paper.


Happy birthday, mama!!!
Oh, and happy half birthday to me 😀

C9 Guest Design - Briar Blooms

 The final day of my Concord and 9th guest design share is here! I've had so much fun working with this month's release and am sad it's over! Today I'm showcasing the stunning Briar Blooms Bundle...


The flower dies in Briar Blooms are just stunning and can be used in so many different designs. My first card pieces the flowers around the sweet banner die. The "have a beautiful day" sentiment is stamped in the gorgeous Rainforest Ink (my personal favorite color!).


Both cards today have a background panel embossed with the Wood Slat embossing folder. This folder is a perfect match with the Briar Blooms!


The wreath die is included in the set, and makes it very easy to piece your die cut flowers on top. 

Both of my cards use the same color combo of cardstocks, just mixed in different ways. I love how different they look even with the same palette. Cardstocks used are: Cayenne, Espresso, Rainforest, Creamsicle, Sea Glass, and Pimento.

C9 Guest Design - Lotsa Pasta

 Today is a fun release from Concord and 9th called Lotsa Pasta. If you love a good Turnabout Stamp, this bundle is for you!


The Lotsa Pasta Turnabout Stamp has such fun pasta designs mixed throughout the stamp. The inks I used for the turnabout portion are: Wheat, Cayenne, Sunflower, and Clementine. I then cut the finished stamped panel diagonally and added it to Cayenne Cardstock.


The Lotsa Pasta Die Set is fiiillllleed with fun shapes! Every pasta imaginable! I cut some simple bow tie pastas to sprinkle throughout the card. Then finished it off the sentiment stamped in Cayenne Ink on Sand cardstock.


I just love the forks! I cut the forks from Matte Silver cardstock and wrapped them in some tomato covered spaghetti :)
