stamping – A Red Letter Day

Hello and welcome back. Are you still making your holiday cards? I am! Every year I swear I’m going to get ahead, but I never do. I don’t like to make multiples of the same card; I like to make a card specifically for the recipient. I made this card for my son.

This card features the Layers of Life set called Search for Those Moments. It is such a pretty set. I started by placing the stamp in my MISTI and coloring directly on the stamp with Tombow marker #158. I love how the trees look! Next, I inked up the background with GinaK Amalgam ink. The sentiment is from the same stamp set and is stamped in GinaK Fresh Asparagas ink. To complete the look, I spattered white, acrylic ink to make it appear snowy. Lastly, I die cut the panel with a deckle edge die and adhered it to a dark grey A2 card base.

Tomorrows card was inspired by a coworkers sweatshirt. Are you intrigued? lol

It’s time to start thinking about how we can honor the Mother’s in our lives. My mom loved roses and she would have loved the projects I made with this new stamp set from Divinity Designs.

I was fortunate to be a guest designer for Divinity Designs this month. I really fell in love with this new set – My World Stamp/Die Duo. It has the perfect sentiments for creating Mother’s Day projects.

Here are a couple of cards I created using this new stamp and die set.

I also thought it would be fun to create a Mother’s Day themed Timeless Tote.

I decided to use glitter paste and the new Rose Mixed Media Stencil on the front pocket to add some sparkle and texture.

This pocket is the perfect size to hold a gift card! Inside the tote I placed a small pack of tissues and a small hand sanitizer. We can’t have too much of that these days!

Happy Mother’s Day!
