Dresden Rose Happy Birthday

Hi everyone! It's Leslie, guest designing for SweetStamps during the month of August, and I'm back with my inspiration project for the SweetStamps Birthday Challenge! Birthdays are so much fun to celebrate with awesome handmade cards, so come play with us! This is the last SweetStamps challenge in August which means this is my last guest design post. I want to thank Stacey, Kendra and team once again for this amazing opportunity! I've thoroughly enjoyed myself!

This is my first parchment crafting project and I can't tell you how much I enjoyed creating this card! I used the beautiful-beyond-words SweetStamps Dresden Rose Circle stamp, embossed with fine detail white embossing powder, colored on the back side, cut with 4-split perforating tool and mounted on three gorgeous die cuts. The inside sentiment is SweetStamps Happy Birthday stamped in Memento Bamboo Leaves ink. For full details, please see my full blog post at Love To Scrap!

Thanks so much for stopping by today - I hope you're inspired to create a pretty project for the SweetStamps Birthday challenge! Have an awesome day!
Hugs,
Leslie

Vintage Bowl and Pitcher

Hello everyone! It's Leslie, guest designing for SweetStamps during the month of August, and I'm here today to share with you my inspiration project for the SweetStamps Anything Goes challenge! We know everyone loves Anything Goes! Get creative and come play with us! ;)

This vintage card is heavily distressed. I used the absolutely gorgeous Bowl and Pitcher stamp, embossed on ivory cardstock, die cut and mounted on a very pretty round doily. Some burlap, twine and chocolate flat-back pearls complete the front. My favorite Have A Beautiful Day sentiment stamp on a scalloped oval die cut adorns the inside, keeping it simple. For details, please see my full blog post at Love To Scrap!

Thanks so much for stopping by - I hope you're inspired to create a beautiful project for this SweetStamps Anything Goes challenge! Whatever goodies you need to get your craft on, SweetStamps has! Take a look... you won't be disappointed! Have an awesome day!
Hugs,

holiday happiness

Hi everyone! It's Leslie, guest designing for SweetStamps during the month of August, and I'm here today to share with you my inspiration project for the SweetStamps Monthly Technique Challenge - Masking! What a fun, fun, fun technique! ;) This technique challenge will run from August 15th through September 14th, so come play with us! You'll have a blast!

I used the beautifully simple SweetStamps Winter Tree stamp along with some JudiKins Eclipse Mask Tape and four Memento inks (Bamboo Leaves, Pear Tart, New Sprout and Pisatacho) to create a little wintery scene for a Christmas card! Nothing like getting a head start! And not to mention that green is my absolute favorite color, so these different shades of green masked trees are just an added bonus to this beautiful card! ;) The inside sentiment is SweetStamps holiday happiness stamped in Pear Tart, Bamboo Leaves and Pistacho. For details, please see my full blog post at Love To Scrap!

Thanks so much for stopping by - I hope you've been inspired to create a masked masterpiece (say that three times fast!) for this SweetStamps challenge! Have an awesome day!
Hugs,
Leslie

Happy Wedding Day

Hi everyone! It's Leslie, guest designing for SweetStamps during the month of August, and I'm back today to share with you my inspiration project for the SweetStamps Bling challenge! I'm so happy to be here! What girl doesn't just love bling?! Come play with us!

I used the Antique Bride stamp as the focal image on the front of my card, embossed on vellum and mounted on some very pretty oval die cuts. The Happy Wedding Day sentiment stamp decorates the inside. Medium and dark shades of salmon were used on her wedding dress, and I carried those colors to the front and inside of the card. I used gemstones, pearls and a wedding rings charm for the bling! For details, please see my full blog post at Love To Scrap!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Hope you've been inspired to create a pretty project with lots of bling for this SweetStamps challenge! Have an awesome day! ;)
Hugs,
Leslie

Have A Beautiful Day

Hi everyone! My name is Leslie and I'm so stoked to be guest designing for SweetStamps during the month of August! A huge thanks to Kendra and crew! Woo-hoo! I'm absolutely thrilled to be here! I "found" SweetStamps this past February and just love working with their awesome products... everything from stamps, ink and embossing powder to dies! ;)

A little about me... I'm married with a grown son and daughter, and a beautiful granddaughter, and live in sunny (and sometimes miserably hot) north Florida! I'm absolutely addicted to stamping, and love creating beautiful cards, paper shoes and mini albums. And thanks to my sister, I've recently added beading to the list! I work full-time and spend most weekday evenings vegging with the hubster on the couch, but my weekends are usually devoted to playing in the scrap room and getting inky fingers!

I wanted to keep my inspiration project for the SweetStamps Silhouettes challenge simple and elegant. I used the gorgeous In Her Easter Bonnet stamp as the focal image on the front and the Have A Beautiful Day sentiment stamp on the inside. For details, please see my full blog post at Love To Scrap!

Thanks so much for stopping by - I hope you're inspired to create a beautiful silhouette project for this challenge! Have a beautiful day! ;)
Hugs,
Leslie
