2018 Favorite Projects

Hello friends!  I thought it would be fun to review my favorite stamping projects from each month in 2018.  I hope you enjoy them.  Here we go!


January was fun to explore design with our new Brusho powder colors and the Birthday Blooms stamp set.  See the post here.


In February I made dozens of cards with our Sweet Soiree Memories and More card pack.  See here for the post about this project. 


March brought a special order for 4 dozen corporate Thank you cards.  Our Wood Textures designer series paper is stunning for a professional yet nature-based theme.  Here is the March post.


April is one of my most favorite cards all year featuring the "You've Got This" stamp set.  I love the combo of pink, gold embossing, and vellum.  You can see the card and post here.


May was a fun fancy fold to highlight our Coffee suite.  You can see more photos of angles and details in the post here.


 June is a fun alternate design from our "Broadway Star" Paper Pumpkin kit. 


 I decorated a Mini-Pizza box and created 3x3 cards to fill it up.  Such a fun birthday kit to gift to friends. See the full post here.


July is another frilly feminine design using our Petal Promenade designer series paper and the One For All stamp set.  See the post here for this design from July.


August was a fun new technique to use the Lovely Floral texture embossing folder on watercolor paper and then color the image with our Watercolor pencils. This post can be seen here.


September was a fun design exploration with our 2018-2020 In-Colors!  See this post with all 5 cards here.


This Many Blessings card is my favorite October design and it is shared here in the post about designs for my stamp club.


My Waterfront sunset card from November is an easy favorite. I have never made a design with layers upon layers of stamped-off ink.  I was inspired by the Florida sunsets when my host challenged me to design a tropical card.  This design post can be seen here, as well as several other tropical projects.


Star of Light captivated my heart when it was first introduced and I was so happy to design with it again this year.  The gold foil edged cards and envelopes make an elegant foundation for designs.  You can see this December post here.

Well that was a fun journey through my stamping with you during 2018!  I really enjoyed sharing these projects with you.

May 2018 Blogging Friends Blog Hop

Hello Stampers! I am thrilled to be joining the Blogging Friends Blog Hop group.  Their blog hop occurs on the first of each month to share fresh stamping inspiration with you.  The theme this month is Fun Folds and I am featuring our Coffee Break designer series paper and Coffee Cafe bundle.
 I had so much fun learning the Twisted Gate Fold card technique.  I love our Coffee Break designer series paper, it has so many interesting geometric designs in a soothing color palette.   This suite is one or our Retiring Products so I had to create with it today before pulling it from my shelf.

The rosette is a clever embellishment to connect the card flaps. I used a tutorial by www.mixedupcraft.com on Youtube to learn this technique.   The Simply Scored tool makes it so easy - all my supplies are detailed at the end of this post.
This would be great with a gift card for a coffee loving friend!  I also wanted to make an appropriate envelope for this size and shape of card.  The envelope punch board came to the rescue.
I think the Coffee Break DSP looks great in this fun fold design and it is especially charming with the coordinating envelope.  Don't forget to order the Coffee Cafe bundle and get 10% off before the bundle savings price retires.  The stamps and framelits will return in our next Annual catalog but only as separate products.
You don't want to miss out on the rest of the Blogging Friends Blog Hopping adventure, so, click below to advance directly to Crystals's website.  I know you'll be inspired by her creativity!  Or, click below on any of the names to see what they have created for you.

Anniversary

We celebrated our 22nd Anniversary this month!

My husband and I got acquainted one summer at college over many coffee break trips to the coffee shop just off campus. I drank a lot of Italian Sodas since I disliked coffee.   Friendship bloomed into love!

He is proud that after many years of "coffee dates" I can now enjoy his coffee passion.  I'm picky and only enjoy an iced latte with an extra pump of syrup, whole milk, and a splash of half n half. 

I googled the anniversary gift theme and 22 years is copper.  So I had a perfect combo of copper and our Coffee Break Designer Series paper! Sadly my idea came to me on our anniversary last week and I didn't get it made until later that week. So it was late.  

But it is a great combination and I am so tickled with how it turned out!
We had a fun date night celebrating - here we are at dinner.  The lighting was awful for photos but lovely for dinner.
