Thinking of You Hydrangea

Happy Saturday, friends. Popping in this morning to share a quick card with you using the Mondo Hydrangea set from Ellen Hutson. I have to say that this is probably one of my favorite floral images at the moment. It has a permanent spot on my desk and has been getting lots of love. 

To begin, I die cut the flower and leave using THIS watercolor paper. Next, I pulled out my watercolors and went to town coloring every inch of both pieces. After they were both dry, I stamped the outline stamp images, assembled my card and added black dots to the centers of my flowers. So happy with how this turned out...hope you enjoy!

Thanks so much for stopping by to visit me today. I hope your Saturday is filled with lots of happy!

Concord & 9th June Guest Designer - Come Chill With Us

Happy Monday to you! I hope you all had a fabulous weekend. I'm kicking off this week with my final post as a guest designer for Concord & 9th. I absolutely love their designs and feel so honored that I was able to share a few projects with you using their two newest stamp sets, Sweet & Cool and You're My Person, along with the new Thinking of You die set. Thank you Angie + Greg for this great opportunity!

Let's start off with a sweet + colorful card using the Sweet & Cool stamp set, along with the Sweet & Cool coordinating dies. I started by stamping my sentiment onto a piece of white card-stock and then stamped the small popsicle randomly around that. Next, I die cut multiple popsicles, in a variety of colors, and adhered them over the outlined images. Then came the hearts!

 

Lots + lots of hearts. I love tiny hearts and am so happy that there is one included in this set. After die-cutting them all, I simply attached them to the centers of my pops. And lastly, I added a strip of card-stock along the right side...yes, with more of those cute, tiny hearts!

 For my second card, I mixed the large floral cluster stamp, from You're My Person, with the Thinking of You die. These are the marker colors I used to color in my flowers...

One of my favorite color combinations. So summery and cheerful!

After die-cutting the Thinking of You, I added colorful card-stock behind to make the sentiment stand out. A border along the bottom and a couple of black buttons complete the card. 

Thanks so much for stopping in today. I hope you enjoyed the projects I shared!

Essentials by Ellen June Pin-Sights Challenge

Happy Saturday! Today, I have a card to share for the Essentials by Ellen June Pin-Sights Challenge.

 

These colors...WOW! So much inspiration in this one little photo. 

I mixed two of my favorite Essentials by Ellen stamp sets to create this card... Bold Blooms and Mondo Hydrangea. I started by stamping my piece of hot pink card-stock, using the three dots in the Bold Blooms set. After adhering that to the front of my card base, I attached to strips of light pink card-stock along the top and bottom. I die cut my flowers and leaves, stamped them and then added them with a bit of foam tape.

The clear droplets I added to the centers of my flowers are from Pretty Pink Posh. I added my sentiment and a bit of white twine along the side to complete it.

Thanks so much for popping in today!

Concord & 9th June Guest Designer - Thinking of You

Hello, friends! Happy Monday to you. I'm back today to share my second post as a June guest designer for Concord & 9th. Today, I will be highlighting the fabulous new stamp set, You're My Person, along with the new Thinking of You die set. These two new products work perfectly together and the options for creating are endless!

I created a set of four cheery cards and started by stamping the large floral background, from You're My Person, onto four strips of white card-stock. I debated about coloring the flowers in, but decided I liked the simple black and white for this set of cards. I set those aside and then moved onto die-cutting my Thinking of You frames.

Behind each of the frames, I added a piece of white card-stock to make the sentiment stand out. Next, I pulled out a circle punch and punched out the centers for my flowers. After all of those steps were complete, I moved onto assembling each of my cards. The result...four colorful, cheerful cards that are ready for sending to four special people!

I hope you enjoyed my post for today. Thanks so much for stopping by. Enjoy your Monday!
