Cards are on the Menu

It is time for another Seasonal Expression 1 recipe challenge and today I created THREE! The three cards found on page 18.

Using the Chelsea Gardens Cardmaking Stamp Set and Thin Cut bundle, Adventure Fundamentals Raspberry and white stripe pattern paper and Basic Fundamentals Pebble and Charcoal pattern paper and Charcoal and White Daisy cardstock. The butterfly and flowers were colored using Raspberry and Sweet Leaf ink and the clear shimmer pen, my newest favorite paint brush.

It is so much FUN to use the Idea Books as inspiration!

Seasonal Expression Recipe Challenge

Today's Seasonal Expression 1 Recipe Challenge comes from page 19. It is a very pretty one photo layout.

I went in a little different direction using this recipe as my inspiration.

Sometimes I look at a layout and when going through my photos one jumps out as the perfect photo for that layout - this was the photo that I inspired me to create from the recipe. It is simple, which is how I like to memory keep. The 'together' stamp image from the Chelsea Gardens scrapbooking stamp set was perfect because together they are my sunshine.

I did change the direction as I wanted the title to be a part of the sentiment that was already on the photo.

How will page 19's layout inspire you?

Sending Hugs Card Kit

Chelsea Gardens paper collection is the pattern paper included in the Sending Hugs Workshop Your Way card making kit.

Each kit contains all you need to create TWELVE (12) cards, SIX (6) of two designs INCLUDING an awesome stamp set.

Thank you and sending Hugs are the card style of the kit, however, you can use any stamp set in your stash.

Stamping on Vellum

The soft colors of Spring are showcased in the paper collection of the month, Chelsea Gardens.

These are two of the cards that will be part of one of my January card classes.

The beautiful butterfly image from the Chelsea Gardens cardmaking stamp set is easily cut out using the Thin Cuts (you can purchase as a bundle). Stamped in Archival Black makes it perfect for coloring using the clear shimmer pen and Glacier ink.

The Chelsea Gardens scrapbooking stamp set is used for the floral random stamped background seen below the vellum overlay piece (card on the right). The sentiment is stamped in Glacier pigment ink and embossed with clear embossing powder.

The accent dot embellishments are white dots colored with the ShinHan markers.

 Envelopes are stamped to coordinate with each card and don't forget to add a little something to the inside.
