Hope Blooms with Creative Worship Flower Stamps

 

Hey sweet friends!  I have so enjoyed playing with a new stamp and die cut combo, Hope Blooms, by Creative Worship Stamps this month!  It's such a beautiful and versatile stamp set and the convenience of using the dies really allows you to make great combinations and dimension.  Both of these cards feature light colored flowers, oddly enough, so next time I will try to pack a color punch!  Ha ha!

I just love trying to watercolor white flowers!  I inked this one with a combination of Antique Linen, Mowed Lawn and Evergreen Bough Distress Inks.  I used the dies to cut the flower and leaves then layered them onto the Stitched Circles die, which I had splashed with watery Evergreen Bough ink.  I popped the die cut sentiment up and layered over a dry embossed teal background, dotted with pearl adhesive embellishments.  

My next card features another flower from the Hope Blooms stamp and die bundle.  I went a bit grungy with this one, creating an inky background from Frayed Burlap, Bundled Sage and Weathered Wood, overstamping with the Vintage Snippets stamp set.  I colored the focal flower using the same inks and cut it with the coordinating dies.  I made a long inky tag and added a die cut sentiment.  

This card makes me happy!  I hope it makes you smile today too.  xx, Autumn

Coffee Loving Christmas Cards

 

Hi everyone!  I'm having a fun time playing with the Coffee Talk stamps and dies by Creative Worship Stamps this month! I've created a fun trio of cards to share.  For this first project, I paired the set with the gorgeous Diagonal Plaid Background, using cheery greens and reds for a festive feel.  I enjoyed using the coordinating dies to add dimension.

My next card features a repeat stamped background using one of the most darling cups in the set.  I then created a frame using the new Polaroid dies and stamped them with the Vintage Snippets set.  Inside the frame I added a focal cup, attached with a Wobbles spring so it jitters around when you touch it.  :)  I finished by adding a sentiment from Blessings in Disguise, and creating a tiny tea tag with tea stained string.  Fun!

For my final card, I did another repeat stamping background using the Choose Faith stamps (Joy).  I then layered with the Polaroid die and more adorable die cut Coffee Talk stamps and a loopy twine bow.  

I'm looking forward to giving these cards with giftcards to our favorite local coffee shop this Christmas!  I hope they inspire you, hmmm, maybe for some last minute gift ideas?  :)

Kate Crane and Kay Carley Christmas Cards

 

Hey friends!  I'm sharing a few fun Christmas cards I made with my mom using gel prints.  These feature some lovely Kate Crane and Kay Carley Christmas stamps.

The deer and tree stamps are discontinued now, but the houses come from Kay's stamp set by PaperArtsy, EKC63.  I love this stamp set so much!  I layered with gel prints and used a variety of snowflake stencils from my stash and hand drawn hills, which I added shading with light grey ink and glittery accents.

This year Kate has released a gnome stamp set that would be just as cute here!

Inspired by Kay's product packaging, I made another card with a gel printed background and a row of houses.  I loved using the pencil trees between each house.  

I drew a little welcoming path.  I embossed the background with white snowflake stamps from the set.  Such fun!  I hope these cards brighten your day and give you some ideas for using your prints this Christmas.  xx, Autumn
