Introducing Swan'sational

Hi there! Welcome to day one of the December Papertrey Ink countdown.

For this months release I bring you a couple new additions to my Stamping Simply lineup.  Today I have a peek at one of them... Swan'sational. Take a look...

I am just loving how this set turned out. These swans and all the bits and pieces to go along with them are so much fun to play with.  

One of those bits and pieces I spoke of is this water ripple stamp. Use it alone just under your elegant bird, or stamp a pretty pattern like the one here. I used the colors limeade ice, enchanted evening, and hawaiian shores. I also added a touch to black to the base of these dark grey swans, using the rock and roll technique with smokey shadow and true black inks. 

Well, there's a quick look from me at the latest from my Stamping Simply lineup. Just remember... everything showcased today will be available for purchase through Papertrey Ink, beginning December 15th. 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Happy Birthday Duo

Hey there! I'm back today for the final day of the November Papertrey Ink countdown. Everything you've seen peeks of will be available tomorrow! 

And of course I bring you a couple more sample of my new stamp design for this month.

Here's a simple card layout I've cooked up using only the Splits: Happy Birthday stamp set, True Black ink, and a few colorful markers. Depending on the color of markers you choose to work with, this design suits either a male or female theme.   

Here's a masculine color scheme using these Copic markers... blue (B97), aqua (BG13), and light green (YG11).

 This feminine color combo uses... orange (R05), pink (RV13), and green (YG03).

Well, that finishes up this months release for me. Just remember... all that you've seen today will be available for purchase through Papertrey Ink, beginning November 15th. 

Now, be sure to visit the Papertrey Ink blog for more crafty goodness.

Hi folks! Welcome to day four of the November Papertrey Ink countdown.

Today, I've put a holiday twist on this months Splits: Happy Birthday stamp set. I've combined it with last months Quick Notes: Holiday stamp set and die.

Both sides of the Splits frame were stamped end to end to create a single border using gold ink.  I think it's kind of neat how it turned out. What do you think?!

Just remember... the Splits: Happy Birthday stamp set and its coordinating dies will be available for purchase through Papertrey Ink, beginning November 15th.

All You Need I Love

Hi! Welcome to day three of the November Papertrey Ink countdown.

This simple little number features this months Splits: Happy Birthday frame, but I used only one half. Both halves of this frame are differnet designs, giving you a differnet look when using one of either sides. 

I carefully inked the image with four different inks... Lavender Moon, Hibiscus Burst, Aqua Mist, and Limeade Ice. Then finished the card off with a sentiment from the Super Succulents stamp set and black rhinestones. 

Well, there's another quick look at my new Stamping Simply line up for this month. Just remember... this stamp set and its coordinating die will be available for purchase through Papertrey Ink, beginning November 15th.

Splits: Happy Birthday Day 2

Hello and welcome to day two of the November Papertrey Ink countdown!   

Today I'm please to share with you another sample using this months Splits: Happy Birthday stamp set. This time around I'm letting one of the extra images from this stamp set take center stage. 

This little triangular striped stamp is so much fun to work with!  It has so much potential!  Here I've chosen to freehand a hand stamped background pattern using black ink allover and gold ink for a few accent pieces.  This pattern really shines beautifully in real life and unfortunately I can't capture all of that with a camera. 

Well, there's a quick look at the Splits: Happy Birthday. I'll be back tomorrow with more! Check out yesterdays card here. Just remember... this stamp set and it's coordinating die will be available for purchase through Papertrey Ink, beginning November 15th.

Hi there! Welcome to day one of the November Papertrey Ink countdown.

For this months release I bring you a new addition to my Stamping Simply lineup.  Today I have a peek at the new Splits: Happy Birthday stamp set, take a look...

This months geometric frame is full of possibilities, and definitely can be applied to more than just the birthday sentiment that is included! Think of all the coloring options too! 

Here I've stamped the frame three times.  First in True Black ink, then in Melon Berry (after rotating) and Aqua Mist slightly off of the first impression. 

Well, there's a quick look from me at the latest from my Stamping Simply lineup. Just remember... everything showcased today will be available for purchase through Papertrey Ink, beginning November 15th.

Wishing You A Merry Christmas

Hi folks! Welcome to day four of the September Papertrey Ink countdown.

Today I've got a combined effort and have used both Splits: Merry & Bright and Holiday Swoosh on this single card.

The background was stamped using the Splits: Merry & Bright frame in a color combo of Aqua Mist, Mint Julep and Limeade Ice.  Then in black ink I combined three sentiment phrases together from the Holiday Swoosh stamp set. Everything was mounted onto a kraft card base. 

Well, there's a quick look at my new Stamping Simply line up for this month. Just remember... these stamp sets and their coordinating dies will be available for purchase through Papertrey Ink, beginning September 15th.
