Stamping Sister

Good Morning Fellow stampers! Today is yet again another busy day for me, but at the point they all seem busy to me! I got the chance to play along with this week's There She Goes Challenge, TSG160!

I always write down what the challenge is but I don't get to play along as much as I would like. This week the challenge is 'Use Circle'! Simple enough and I had a lot of fun with this one. I used the super cute stamp set Ba Donkey Donk! I ordered this set after last months release and I just love it! The images are so much fun and the sentiments really crack me up.

I hope you enjoyed today's card, my donkey appreciates you stopping by!

Welcome to the 3rd annual Mother of All Blog Hops sponsored by There She Goes Clears Stamps! Over the next two days, we (customers and trendsetters!) will be featuring some of our favorite There She Goes Clear Stamp sets! Not only that, we’re going to give YOU a chance to win some fabulous prizes! To find out how, please go to the There She Goes’ Blog and read the simple instructions.

For my card today I am featuring the stamp set, Garden of Friends. I have so many There She Goes stamp sets, but I always pull this one out when I want to make a floral card, this specific card I am going to be giving to my Mother for Mother's Day. I just love this image and the details within it are remarkable, plus I thought this sentiment was perfect for what mom's are all about. I used this fun Bo Bunny designer paper and lots of golden yellow tones and a nice rose shade. I added some satin ribbon and self adhesive pearls plus I covered the entire image with smooch frost which leaves a lovely glitter and shine.

I got an email from my friend Michele yesterday letting me know that I was selected as this week's Trendsetting Spotlight on the There She Goes Blog! How exciting is that?! I think it is pretty awesome, thank you ladies so much for selecting me!I saw the post and decided to browse my blog to see what creations I had using There She Goes stamps, and I realized that I haven't shared all sorts of cards I created for TSG Swaps! So what better thing to do today, then share those creations that you have not been shown yet! The first card I think might be my favorite one I have created using Daily Grind, I had so much fun with the shades of grays and teals in this image! My first ATC uses the stamp set Puppy Love, I think this image was my favorite from the set and I just wanted to create a simple setting for this pair. I cut out the duo with a Oval Nestabilties Die then I used this grass die as well to finish off the look. The second ATC uses the stamp set Side By Side and it's a bit hard to see, but both blooms have crystal effects so that they shine in addition to the layered regular and scalloped oval being popped off the base. Plus I added a bit of bling in the corners where I used my ticket corner punch too! This last ATC uses that stamp set Loads of Fun and the color combination of teal and brown, I had loved this sentiment when the set was first released and I just HAD to use it when I inked up this stamp set!I unfortunately don't have all the details for all three cards since they were created a while ago and for swaps, but I just wanted to share these with you today in honor of being selected as the Trendsetting Spotlight! I do hope you enjoyed my creations, have a fabulous day!

I just had to pull out my Blossom By Blossom stamp set again and use this adorable little girl image with these fun birdies. I also wanted to use a color combination of Yellow and shades of Teal, I think it worked well together. I finished of the card with some touches of pearls and this lovely twill ribbon I have, which works perfect for keeping the easel part standing.

I finally got the chance today to not only ink up one of my new There She Goes stamp sets, but to also play along with the current challenge! I always write down and save the TSG Challenges, but I never seem to sit down and play along, so I am so glad that I got the chance this weekend. I am usually not a fan of Inspiration Challenges, but I really liked this image, it is just so rich and bright!I decided to ink up my Blossom By Blossom stamps and I am so glad that I picked this image, she is so darn cute! Okay, correction, the whole stamp set is cute! I wanted to use the same bright colors as the picture has so I pulled out my Copic makers and got to work. I even used the colors going from her shirt to her pants in the order they are in the picture, I think it works well. I went a little crazy with my sewing machine, but I had fun with it, can you tell?! I also thought that this image would have the most impact if she was cut out and the attached with pop dots to add a bit of dimension.

I do hope you like my creation for today, I had so much fun with this one, I think it might be the bright colors, they just make me smile! Have a fabulous day all, and thank you for stopping by!

If not, please head back to the There She Goes Blog to find out all the details on the prizes and not miss any of the fun!

For my creations today I picked the stamp set Spread Your Wings, I simply love this set. In fact I had signed up to use this stamp set last year for the first Mother of All Blog Hops, but I couldn't find the stamp set anywhere. It was hiding from me...silly set! But, I win this time because I was able to find it in time to use this year!

I found this lovely teal decorative paper and used it for inspiration on this card, I pulled both a darker shade with the Baja Breeze and a lighter shade with Aqua Mist plus I added a bit of white for some pop. I really love how this card came out, it just all seems to work together. I do hope you like today's creations as much as I do!

Now it's time to hop on over to Karen Giron's Blog to continue on your way! Thank you for hopping along with us today, I hope you have a wonderful day!

So today is Sunday which means that it's time for another Crafty Ho's Challenge! That's right, a great group of friends of mine, the 'Ho's', created a challenge blog called Crafty Ho's Challenge Blog! Each week on Sunday we share with everyone more creations using the same challenge as inspiration!

So for our challenge this week we challenged everyone to create something that is based on Fun in the Sun, and to be honest, there are so many possibilities! For mine I decided to go the island route and create a card featuring the stamp set called Life's a Beach from There She Goes! I simply love this set, in fact I have inked it up for a bunch of swaps, it really is a fun set to use! This is where I would love to go....to the middle of nowhere on an island, even if just for a bit, it would be fabulous!


You are going to love these ladies and all of their creations and I can't wait to see what you create along with us! Hope to see you back here next Sunday for our next challenge! Have a wonderful day all!

Welcome to the There She Goes Mother of All Blog Hops! If you have arrived here from Iwona's blog, then you are in the right spot. If not, I recommend that you start back on the There She Goes Blog to get the introduction to our hop as well as the information you will need in order to enter to win some exciting prizes!
I also volunteered to create a second card for the Mother of all Blog Hops, and I picked Rejuvenate, this set is so much fun and so relaxing! I decided that I wanted to do something with dimension, so I stamped the towel image three times and layered the parts of each stack of towels so that each stack looked like it really was towels. It was super simple, and I really like the results on this, a soft but sweet card! I hope you like this one too!

Now it's time to send you on to Jessie's blog, I know that she will be rocking her stamps like she always does so enjoy! I hope you you enjoy the rest of the hop, I know I will be! Have a fabulous day!

Good morning all! For today I wanted to share with you the card I created for Joy's Card Kit Swap! I have been enjoying this swap immensely! I am in two groups and for the second group I wanted to use this adorable set that was release in February from There She Goes for Valentine's Day. Not only do I think this set is wonderful, but added to the great images is the fact that my friend Michele worked with Jessica to bring about such a fun theme to an entire set of stamps! I wasn't sure where to start with this one, but after finding this great DP at Michael's I knew what the color palette had to be simply Cream, Pink, Blue, and Green! I just love the graphic look to this paper, it really pops. I used my Nestabilities to cut and emboss my main image then I used pop dots to bump it out off the base. I also used my Illuminate Smooch over all three beakers to add some shine and finished the card off with some simple ribbon! I got these great straight pins but I haven't had a use for them, then I saw them while I was making this card and just had to use them to finish it off, I pulled out the Prima flowers that I found on clearance this weekend and added the flowers to the pins before inserting it into the ribbon that fronted the card. I do hope you enjoy this card, I really had a lot of fun with this one! Have a wonderful day all!

I am horrible about making birthday cards, I never have enough around for birthday and I typically don't realize I was supposed to send out the card until the persons birthday has passed. This card I created a few months ago for another coworker, her teenage cousin was celebrating her birthday and she requested me to make a card fashioned after a There She Goes card from a while ago. I had brought in a bag full of cards that might work as birthday cards and she saw my pink, blue, and yellow card (Sent with Love) and she wanted the same thing in pinks and black. I really like this layout, its simple but fun. Hope you like this card too!

Good morning! For today I thought I would share with you two ATCs I created for Kelli's swap on SCS! For these ATCs we were to create an ATC using some of the stamp sets from the June and July releases at There She Goes! I had a lot of fun creating these, for the first spot I created a fun card featuring the drinks from the Life's A Beach set, I thought these drinks would look great paired in yellow and this fun paper from the DCWV Citrus stack! These drinks ended up looking really bright and fun!
For the second spot in the swap I used these pretty floral stamp from the stamp set Bloom. I went for a more elegant card for this spot. After I picked the colors I wanted to use I dug through my embellishments and decided that ribbon and gems would be prefect for this! I used my ticket corner punch on the corners of the main image and the mat, then placed these cute little self adhesive gems on the edges of the card. To finish it all off, I added some fun bright green grosgrain ribbon in a little bow. I just had so much fun with these stamp sets from There She Goes! I do hope you like my little ATCs, they are just so much fun! Have a great day all!

Earlier this month there was a There She Goes release, and as with most releases there was a card challenge. Jessica posted a challenge where you had to make a card that used wings in some way. At first I was completely lost, wings? I mean what did I have that had wings? Then I remembered that I had bought the stamp set Happy Day from There She Goes and it had yet to be inked! So I pulled out my Happy Day set and created a scene using the main images of the set, these adorable birdies singing on a line with a lovely background behind them. I pulled out my copic markers and started coloring the scene, my sky still needs a little work, but I really like how the tree ended up. I decided that Green and Orange would be my focus of this card, not your typical color combination, but I think it works with the papers I picked out and how the image is colored. I also got the chance to use the nail heads I found at Archiver's while in Ohio, I am so glad I picked up a bunch of these things because I am loving them! Well I hope you have a Happy Day! Thank you for stopping by, and be sure to come back tomorrow!

I got the chance to participate in another one of Kate's great Swaps for There She Goes, after the first card I made with this stamp set really turned out nicely, I just had to use it again, with Red as the main color! I love the two tone look I was able to create. I found these tins at Joann's and they were on sale, so they were just perfect for the altering swap I joined for the May stamp release at There She Goes. I think this stamp set is currently my favorite stamp set from There She Goes right now, its so versatile, and the sentiments are so much fun! Here is a close up of just one tin, I really like how it came out, unfortunately I couldn't find any ribbon in my massive stash to match! How upsetting is that! I hope you have a great day!

Happy Thursday everyone! It’s almost the weekend, well sort of; anyway I have another card to share with you today! For the April release at There She Goes Kate hosted a swap on SCS and I just had to sign up! This card I created for the second spot I had in the swap and I just loved how this one turned out! I went for a girlie baby card, and I think that is how this card turned out. I thought that the light yellow and white would accent the pink nicely, plus I love using scallops and ribbon, so of course I pulled both of those goodies out. The little carriage for this cute little birdie was a genius idea for this stamp set! Hope you like today's card, have a great day all!

Tonight there is a stamp release for There She Goes and of course not only will there be a great party, but there was also a super fun contest! This month's contest was to create a card not the typical size of regular cards, it had to be a different shape and size. I decided to use some of my new and fun Nestabilities to create my card size and shape! Then came layers, lots of layers and some fun red and cranberry shades for this super stylish lady to wear. I was able to find so many embellishments that matched my colored image, I just love when that happens! Hope you like it! Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

Each month There She Goes releases fun new stamp sets, and with those releases Kate on SCS hosts a swap! Last month I created a fun card for the swap, and I had a great time making this one! I went pink, pink, on pink. These little cupcakes are just adorable, and you can't see them from this shot, but I used my Copic Spica pens to give each cupcake a bit of shine! The paper is from my K&Co box of decorative paper, it really is a nice pattern, don't you think. Plus I used my new favorite ribbon, this super cute and thin May Arts ribbon. Hope you liked my There She Goes creation and that you have a great day!

I signed up for an ATC swap where you had to use There She Goes stamps over in the SCS forum that Kelli Jo is hosting. Kelli is one of the great 'Hos' that I chat with all the time and when she posted this swap I just had to take two spots. Kelli does a great job as a hostess and I know she will be amazing at swapping this mass of ATCs heading her way. I had the hardest time getting started on these ATCs! I knew that I wanted to use Snail Mail for one set, but I had no idea what to do for the second set so I posted for someone to pick and I was told Flowers, so Flowers of Happiness it is! I wasn't sure how to start the second card after I picked the set, and I went pinks, thought they would be great for this set! I colored in all the flowers then decided that it needed vellum and a great quote! I had a lot of fun with both of these sets, and of course no ATC is complete without a few crystals, I just couldn't resist the possibility of using these little gems. Hope you enjoy my creations, I had a lot of fun giving these ATCs a shot!

This weekend There She Goes is releasing new stamp sets and having a party on PCP! Right before a new release Jessica from TSG issues a challenge. This months challenge is to create a card using dimension, and I did just that! I went a little dimension happy actually...the main image is on pop dots, the cupcakes in the mail box are on pop dots, the sentiment and three of the background cupcakes are all on pop dots! Hope you like it, I had a lot of fun with this card and creating this cute DP using the stamp set Special Delivery! The colors are really fun too, I thought they were perfect with some cut cupcakes. Enjoy!
