My amazing nephew, who is more like a son, just got married!  They are the sweetest couple and I’m so happy for him! 

I wanted to make a really special card to match the gorgeous wedding colors

They are the sweetest couple and made the most gorgeous bride and groom!

I used stamps and dies by Papertrey Ink and they worked perfect for my idea!

I’m entering this into the Classic Design challenge – butterflies or blooms.  I used blooms!  They are my favorite images to create with🌷

Thank you for stopping by today!

For this new Double Trouble challenge, we want to see your little piggies!

The 3-2-1 recipe from Thing 1 is

3 layers 2 colors (I chose pink, blue, and green)

and 1 image

Thing 3 wants to see a piggy!  So my images are pigs

These cute little oinkies are from Hello Bluebird

I chose the softer hues to make it have the feel of a baby card.  I think this will be a fun one for a baby shower.

My layout was inspired by the sketch over at TSOT. This is a sneak peek as this sketch doesn’t start until tomorrow

With a few tweaks, it worked great for my idea

Head on over to Double Trouble to see all the details about playing along!

Thanks for stopping by today

Happy Monday! Here’s the new challenge for Double Trouble

The new recipe and how I used it is

3 – ROY G BIV colors-  I used pink, blue and yellow

2 pattern papers- my papers for today’s project are from Echo Park

1- embossed element – my main white panel is embossed with a beautiful floral 3D embossing folder by Spellbinders

Thing 3 says to include your favorite snack

Chocolate chips cookies, made with milk chocolate chips, is my ultimate favorite!  It’s not necessarily what I would call a snack per se… it’s more like my favorite treat. But since I don’t have stamps of my favorite snack, which would probably be crackers and cheese- well cookies it is! 🍪

Thing 2 says to play along with the TSOT sketch challenge. It starts tomorrow so this is just a sneak peek! My card layout was inspired by it

I did a no sentiment card with this one.  I’m going to save it for when I make cookies for someone for whatever might be going on.  Could be a thank you or a thinking of you or get well💕

Thank you for stopping by today!

Happy Valentines Day! 💕❤️💕

My last card was clean and simple so today I swung the creativity all the way over to the other side and did mixed media!

I was inspired by the challenge over at Simon Says Stamp that says to do “Spritz and Splatter”. Always a perfect thing to add to a mixed media card and I added lots! 

These beautiful papers and elements by Simple Stories really does all the talking.  It’s from the 6×8 paper pad called “Simple Vintage Junk Drawer”

The sentiment is a Spellbinders die cut. I love this different size.  It’s kind of a wide slimline size

I’ve had my eye on the Mix It Up Challenge Blog because they feature mixed media a lot. And it’s a technique (or techniques!) that I enjoy playing with every now and then. I appreciated their prompt to “add ribbon” on their current challenge because it was just the final touch my card needed. Once I added the ribbon, it felt finished!

Thank you for stopping by to visit today!  I hope your day is full of love! See you next week with more projects💕

Hello!  Happy Monday and Happy February!💕 Time for a new challenge at Double Trouble

Thing 1 gives us this recipe

3 layers 2 images (sentiment doesn’t count) and 1 clean and simple technique

Thing 3 wants to see you use a color for the clean and open space.  I chose kraft for a natural feel.  I was inspired by the colors and swirls at Sunday Stamps challenge

I used some Catherine Pooler products from my stash – Hello Fabulous stamps and dies as well as the Cheers to You sentiments and dies

I added gloss to the roses for some interest.  The layout and design is inspired by the sketch by TSOT that Thing 2 is giving a double dare to try

(This is a sneak peek. This challenge with TSOT starts tomorrow) I love the clean and simple idea it gives!

Thanks for stopping by today! 

Are y’all staying warm!  I hope so!  I’m over this cold and freezing but I’m loving the extra time I’m getting to make cards! I have 2 today of the same design. They are personalized with the recipients names and are inspired by the challenge at PinkFresh Studio 💕

For January, the challenge is to go back over last year’s challenges and pick one to be inspired by.  I love that they do this!  It gives a chance for all those beautiful inspiration photos to inspire a card once again. The one that caught by eye was July “Summer Splash”. The colors are so bright and vibrant – something needed during this drab weather

All products used on my cards are from PinkFresh.  I started with their slimline dies for the base of each layer.  The floral stamps are from “In the Meadow” and the alphabet dies are from “Julieta Alpha”

With soft ink blending for the base and the letters, the bright floral pops!  I colored those with just some simple water coloring

They turned out so bright and happy!  Thanks for stopping by today. Keep stamping!🥰

Hello!  I hope it is warmer where you are than it is where I am! I’m getting lots of stamping time in as we hunker down in these frigid temperatures.  Today, I made a set of 3 cards using 1 technique.  A technique I haven’t done for a long time but that I love.  Ink blending + dry emboss folder

Over at Time Out Challenges, that’s just the inspiration – to use a favorite card making technique

I love pulling out things that I haven’t I’m awhile to use them again.  Distress Oxides and blending brushes made it to the stamp desk again and I loved it! I used colors that gave the feel of going from sand to sea

This seashell embossing folder is from Simon Says Stamp. Their Instagram challenge right now is to use embossing folders!  I love playing along with Simon because it’s such a fabulous company in the stamping world💕 The sentiment is also from Simon Says Stamp. 

If I can’t be at the beach picking up seashells, I can dream of it and Stamp it! Thanks for stopping by today to see my ink blended and embossed seashells💕 if you head to my Instagram, I made a video of one of these coming together!  Been a long time since I made a stamping video.  Going to try to do more!

Hi there!  Happy Monday💕 Here’s my card for the new challenge starting today over at Double Trouble

Thing 1 gives us this recipe (each is a minimum.  You can use more)

3 colors – I did blue, pink, brown, green

2 images – penguin, cabin, trees, globe, banner

1 sentiment – “for you”

The cute little snow globe with a cabin and penguin is from Pink and Main. The arch die and burst background die are from Reverse Confetti (miss them!) And the cute paper bow is from Kat Scrappiness

Thing 2 says to use a penguin so it was fun to pull out this set that I haven’t used in a very long time!  I added a touch of glitter detail – this angle helps you see it a little better

It’s a fun wintry card for January!  Which also goes along with the challenge over at Just Add Ink ” Just Add Something Seasonal”

Definitely the season for a COLD card! ❄️

Thanks for stopping by to see my card today.  We hope to see a bunch of cute penguins over at Double Trouble as you come play along! 

I have a fun card for you today! I’ve been working on this one for several days to get it to come together how I wanted

I’m playing with 2 challenges with this card.  The “A Cut Above” challenge – Anything Goes using die cuts is the first

I got these adorable Hero Arts die sets for my birthday in December and I was so excited to finally make a card with them!  The dies used are “Message in a Bottle” and “Summer by the Shore”

I love how they are layered dies to give all the dimension needed for seashells! 

There’s also a new challenge in town!!  The “All About” papercraft challenge

I love supporting card challenges!  It’s such a great way to think outside the box and join other card makers in playing with an idea for a card. Their first theme is “New”. These fabulous dies are new for my birthday and are quickly a favorite

The only thing better than these seashell dies is real seashells! I’ll be heading to Florida soon for another seashell trip and I’m so excited! 

Thank you for stopping my to see my card today!  I’ll be back soon with another card for some other fun challenges going on💕

Before I move on with my day – a big thank you to The Flower Challenge!  My winter floral card won their December challenge!  They are so fun to play with because it’s always about flowers – my favorite stamps and dies to use!

Have a wonderful and happy day!

🙂 Kellianne

Happy New Year stamping friends! I can hardly believe we are to 2026. I have been stamping a lot lately and I’ve been loving it extra!! Today’s card is for the new challenge up at Double Trouble

Here’s the recipe and my take! (Remember you can use more – these are just the minimum requirement)

3 colors – I used more!

2 squares – I did 9!

1 sentiment – “I love you more than cupcakes”

Thing 3 says to use at least 2 squares. This background die by My Favorite Things was just perfect for these sweet cupcakes. There’s 9 different flavors to go in these 9 squares!

I miss seeing all the sweetness from My Favorite Things.  But I have an amazing stash from them and I will continue to use it!  These cupcakes are so cute!

What’s your favorite flavor of cupcake? Did I include it? I’m not a huge fan of cupcakes but my sister makes these Texas sheetcake cupcakes that are incredible. I’d pick those!

See you in a couple days with another card💕💌

🙂 Kellianne
