I am head over heels for Nicole's Sunflower stamp set!  There are so many different ways to add detail to these blooms...I just love them!  Having the coordinating Sunflower Die Set makes it easy to add these flowers to patterned paper, like I did here.

 

For my sentiment, I used the Brushstroke Alphabet Lowercase to spell out the word "friend".  Using the MISTI really made lining these letters up SO much easier!!

 

When stamping the flowers and leaves, I used my MISTI to line up all of the detail images perfectly.

 

I actually can't remember the last time that I created a card and didn't use my MISTI!  I'm completely hooked!

RAH Homemade With Love Week - Day 5

Hi friends!  All week long Right at Home Stamps has been sharing handmade gift ideas!  It's my day to share what I created for this fun weeklong crafty celebration!  I love making handmade items to give away to friends and loved ones!  I was thrilled about this week's series because it's been far too long since I've taken time to do anything like this! 

I have a friend that loves to take photos, and is actually very good at it!  She is always taking pictures of my kids and gifting them to me.  I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to do a little something for her!

 

I remembered that I had an unfinished photo frame in my stash and couldn't wait to dress it up for her!  I started by painting the entire frame with white acrylic paint.

 

Using the Find the Beauty die set, I die cut lots of felt flowers.  I love how bright and fresh the colors look together!  I die cut a lot of t little circles, creating a polka dotted look. 

 

For embellishment, I stitched coordinating buttons onto each flower.

National Craft Month Blog Hop

Welcome!  To celebrate National Craft Month, I'm hopping along with the Right At Home design team members and guests!  We're sharing projects created with a brand new set Nicole illustrated just for this occasion! 

 

To create my card, I started by painting my background using three different watercolors.  After it was completely dry I adhered some gold cording and then added my sentiment (from the new Make Something Beautiful stamp set) which I embossed onto a strip of white cardstock.  The cute little paintbrush (also from the Make Something Beautiful stamp set) was embossed onto gold cardstock.  For the tip of the brush, I stamped the paintbrush again onto white cardstock and added some color with a couple of Copic markers.  I cut just the brush tip out and then adhered it onto the paintbrush.

 

 

 

Want to win this new stamp set?  Head on over to the Right At Home Blog for all of the details! 

 

 

Ready to keep hopping?  Next up on the hop is Laurie C.!

 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Let Your Faith Blossom

Hi friends!  I thought I would pop in and share a card that I created the other day!  We've been knee deep in the plague here in our house and I was in desperate need of something bright and cheerful.  I broke out the new Spring stamps from Right at Home and created this cheerful card...

 

I normally love patterned paper and include it on many of my cards.  I couldn't quite find the right combination of colors for what I had planned so I decided to create my own!  :-)  I started by stamping the Gingham Background Stamp in a light beige ink.    I stamped many of the flowers from the Bunny Hugs stamp set in lovely, Spring colors.  I then die cut the background out using the largest die from the Find the Beauty die set.

For the bottom panel, I die cut a pink piece of cardstock with the same large stitched rectangle die  and then embossed the sentiment (from the Bunny Hugs stamp set) on the bottom.  I then hand cut it above the sentiment, added faux stitch marks with a white pen and then added ribbon and a flower.

 

 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hugs,
Laurie

 

 

A Merry Notebook

A great big happy Tuesday to you!  I've got a fun little project to share with you today!  With Thanksgiving only a couple of weeks away, my mind is definitely on the upcoming Christmas season!  I love, love, love Christmas and always try to pack as much fun and memory making opportunities in as possible!  This has caused me to need to be a very good planner, as this is also the busiest season!  I always have a couple of dedicated notebooks to organize my plans.  I will use them to write down gift ideas, meal plans, games I want to play, outings I want to take, and many other things along those lines.  Of course, having a cute notebook to do this in helps a lot!  :-)

 

I decorated this Kraft colored notebook using the Christmas Foliage stamp set and coordinating Christmas Foliage die set from Right at Home.  I will admit that having the die set helped this notebook come together very quickly!  In fact, I plan on creating several of these to give away as gifts!

One of my favorite new products from the Right at Home Shop is the new Folded Gift Tag Die Set!  I used the banner and the "merry" sentiment from it to create the focal image on my notebook.  I also have big plans for the rest of the die set to create some super cute holiday tags!  :-)

 

 

Well, that's all from me today!  I hope you all have an amazing day!

Hugs,
Laurie
