Under My Umbrella

Happy Hump Day everyone!  Sorry... I've been a little MIA lately. Today I'm sitting in an almost-empty house.  We starting the moving process to our new house only 40km away last Thursday.  The only things left to go to the new house are my scrapbook desk and supplies and a garage full of tools.  Wish us luck in the last few trips.

Here's a fun slimline card I pad using that adorable "Under the Umbrella" die and our fun "A Little  Drizzle" Slimline patterned papers. I inked up the individual pieces of the umbrella with direct-inking to my Premium White Cardstock.  That large sentiment is from our "Shine Bright Sentiments" stamp set.


And one more fun card for you today!

This one features the "Bloomin' Wellies" stamp and coordinating die set.  The stamp set has this adore polka dot stamp set in it and so I stamp it and masked between the rows with a torn edged mask.

Thanks for stopping by!

I hope the rest of your week is a filled with creativity!

Spring Scenery - My Newest Stamp Set!

 

Today is our fourth day of Krafty Peeks for the April Release at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

Today we are sharing a new stamp set from ME and it's called... SPRING SCENERY!!




Just imagine all the gorgeous ways you'll be using this beautiful stamp set! These accessory stamps will compliment so many other sets and create beautiful spring garden scenes. The fence stamp is drawn in a way that makes it easy to extend in either direction, you have a fabulous bird bath and there are even tiny blossom stamps that stamp over the tree branch creating instant spring blooms!

For my card today I wanted to share a soft, water coloured image so I designed to start with an embossed bird and bird bath plus I added a soft pair of trees.  For my image I used the following inks:  Mellow Mustard, Yummy Yellow, Summer Sunshine, Morning Marigold, Charming Chartreuse, Goblin Green and Rich Rust.  The sentiment is from our new "Springtime Sentiments" stamp set and I used the "Rocky Road Stencil" to create the stone patio for my bird bath to sit on.

Check out SPRING SCENERY in so many amazing creations today as you hop around the Krafty Team's blogs! You'll also see the new stencils and hybrid ink along the way! Be sure to leave some love at each stop on the hop because I'll be giving away some krafty $$ to the shop!

Sun Shiny Umbrellas

Today's the Day!  You get to go and shop the new "April Showers Bring" collection from Catherine Pooler Designs!

You are going to LOVE the adorable "Under the Umbrella Die"!  I used just the die and inked it up with some sunset colors then stamped on the tiny blooms from the "Bloomin' Wellies" stamp set.  Then I added some fun machine stitching.  The clouds are from the "April Showers" stamp set plus I cut them out using their coordinating dies.

For my second card, I cut the umbrella from the fun "A Little Drizzle Slimline" patterned paper pack.  I then filled with the flowers from atop the wellies in the "Bloomin' Wellies" set.  I added the amazing sentiment from the "Shine Bright" stamp set (a MUST-HAVE sentiment set!)

You are going to LOVE all the pieces of the April Showers Bring collection!  You can pick and choose what products you want or choose a small themed bundle OR choose the "I Want It All" option!  It's all up to you!

Happy shopping!
