Hi Everyone,

I hope you are enjoying the new High Hopes Rubber Stamps Spring 2016 Release.   I don’t know about you, but I find sympathy cards can be difficult to make, as the right stamp is needed.  For my post today, I have used With Deepest Sympathy and the matching svg files from the Spring 2016 Release.

Where Flowers Grow…!!!

Challenge - Anything Goes, , ,

Hi Crafty Peeps;

It is now officially Spring as of Sunday, and according to the Weather Network we are having rain and snow later in the week.  So Winter isn’t done with us yet.  Supposedly, there is the saying for March, that it either comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb or vice versa.  Time will time.

For my post today for OCS, I have used the stamp called Flowers Grow… from High Hopes Rubber Stamps.

Delight in the simple beauty…..

Challenge - Anything Goes, ,

Hi Crafty Peeps;

I don’t know about you, but I am definitely tired of winter and can’t wait for spring to come.  For my post today, I have used this collage stamp called Birds and Blooms Collage stamp from Heartfelt Creations.

The main image was inked with the Victorian Velvet Distress Ink.  For the background I used the Heidi Swapp Minc Foil Applicator Machine, and ran a sheet of paper from a Heidi Swapp paper pad and Rose Gold Reactive Foil through it. The top and bottom border is a Joy’s Craft Stitched Die. I added a clear rhinestone to the middle of each flower.
