Hello!

Hope all is well! :)

Here's a little card I created using my Love Birds and Stripe and Dots stamp sets. I did some masking and coloured with my graph'it markers.

I stamped the polka dots onto the blue cardstock with versamark ink.

a bit of kindness

Hello!

I've got another card for ya today. Once again using my Suzi and Stripes and Dots stamp sets. 

To make my scalloped frame I used me Love stamp set. I covered the two last 'bumps' with washi tape when I inked it up to make the frame smaller. I added some little red gems to give it a little bling! ;)

The sentiment is Hero Arts Acts of Kindness stamp set.

I coloured with Graph'it markers.

I'm having a little giveaway here, pop by and check it out if you already haven't.

Hello!

Happy December! It's the most wonderful time of the year (I'm singing it...you know the song)! I'm mean we celebrate the birth of Jesus this month!! Christmas spirit is all around us and it's my birthday too ;)

I know the holidays could be a sad and stressful time too. 3 of my kids classmates lost one of their parents since the school year started and I imagine Christmas won't be the same. I keep them in my prayers.

 I LOVE Christmas but I do miss having my mom with me...the last Christmas we celebrated together was when I was 18 and I'll be 41 this month. BUT instead of dwelling on that I am grateful that she is not alone and we are all healthy and one day we'll celebrate it all together!

Now on to the fun stuff! What a wonderful surprise to me when I watched Jennifer's My Favorite Crafty Things (stamps) video and to see my Cheers stamp set amongst the amazing other stamp sets mentioned! She doesn't know it but she was the inspiration behind this set! I stalk follow her on instagram as well and noticed she likes a good beer every now and then! ;) So I thought....yes...I need an alcohol inspired stamp set! And this really never crossed my mind before because I don't drink a drop of alcohol. 

Not only am I going to give away a Cheers set it is also on sale...40% off regular price! And since it is the most wonderful time of the year I'll be having giveaways and sales throughout the month so I hope you pop by!

A little inspiration!

I also blog spotted this fabulous card over at Melly Moss's blog!

So if you'd like a chance to win this stamp set please leave a comment and I'll choose a winner on Friday!

flannel love

I've been diggin' me some flannel lately! Can you believe that I don't own a flannel shirt! Shocking...I know! BUT I do have a super big and soft flannel scarf I bought at Accessorize last year.

All this flannel love inpsired a Christmas card this morning! And I have to say I really love how it turned out!

For my card I used my Stripes and Dots and Warm Wishes stamp sets. To stamp the stripes I used Tim Holtz inks in Barn Door, Peeled Paint and Broken China. I wasn't too worried with being exact especially considering that my Stripes and Dots stamps are hand drawn.

merry christmas

It's me and I'm sharing a card I created using my Mr. & Mrs. Claus stamp set (on sale). I had coloured and cut Mr. Claus out a while ago and all I did was a simple water colour background and adhered some tiny clear stars. It's always handy to have some images coloured ahead of time.

grateful

It is terribly difficult running your own (stamp) business with very little support and all on your own. I often feel lonely in this craft industry....I mean I'm all the way in Croatia (where this hobby isn't really popular) and I'm just never in the loop with other stamp companies and shops...don't know why but it is what it is. And it gets hard. I start to think what's the point, start to doubt myself and EVERY SINGLE TIME I'm in this state of mind something happens....like this morning I got an email from a customer.

'Hi - I just wanted to let you know that I received my order today of warm wishes and this is such an adorable stamp set. When I opened the package I was beyond excited to see such a beautiful touch of wrapping and my excitement just continued as I very carefully pulled out the stamps. I can say this set is now at the top of my favorite list. I fell in love with it when I saw it online and I am just shocked that I could love it even more in person. So much so that I ordered additional items today!! Thank you so much for an opportunity to purchase your product!!'

I hope you don't mind Kim for me sharing this. Thank you! I so needed this and you've lifted my spirits! And I thank my customers and design team for your support.

p.s. I used Autumn Blessings to create this card (and it's on sale!).

It has been forever (before I left for summer vacation) since I sat down and made a card!!

I wanted to show a way your can stretch your stamp sets by mixing sets to create a card. I used my Dogs set and my Winnie (which is a halloween set) to create this card.

I did some masking with the the hats (from the Winnie set) and the dogs to create a cute Halloween card.

hello friend + giveaway

Hello friend! :)

Sharing a card I made a while ago but forgot to blog. I used my Hello Friend and Dots and Stripes stamp sets.

I stamped the fox using a light colour (can't remember but it was dark enough for me to see) and I punched holes along the lines and hand stitched using black thread.

There's a summer sale going on at Jane's Doodles (15% off) and I thought I'd do a little giveaway. I'm giving away Doodle Flower and Doodle Flowers II. It's open worldwide. Just leave a comment and I'll choose a winner on Friday! :)
