Did you know...?

...that Bazzill papers now have patterned papers? I was fortunate enough to try out their Grandma's Feather Bed collection and they are so pretty. I love the floral and elegant patterns combined with the classic polka dots and stripes in trendy colors. This collection also comes with coordinating elements like buttons and paper flowers.

Here are some cards I created with these yummy papers and SRM Stickers, which are my go-to products when I need to create beautiful, but not time consuming cards, usually to give away as a gift set. I used the We've Got Your Stickers Thanks on these cards. I love that this sheet comes with images and sentiments in many colors, including my favorite white.

Make sure you check out the SRM Blog posts yesterday, today and tomorrow for more Bazzill paper projects with SRM Stickers.

Finally, The Craft's Meow crew is previewing the June 1 release stamps today featuring my friend Michelle's newest set, It's a Shore Thing. My stamps didn't get here in time before I packed my craft supplies to make way for home renovations going on right now. More info (take note of the giveaway!) on the TCM blog. Tomorrow, I hope you can join us for the release blog hop with more prize giveaways!

Sending You Sunshine and Just Sayin' Previews

The last two sets I designed for The Craft's Meow's June 1 release are being featured today. First up is Sending You Sunshine:
  • Includes 8 images (one big tree scene, 6 images that you can add to the scene, and one stand alone image) and 5 sentiments.
  • Coordinates with the Just Sayin' set below. All the sentiments fit inside the bubble stamp.
This set is somewhat different from my usual style, but I had so much fun illustrating it. I wanted to capture summer in a simple and cute way that is reflective of my country life.

For my card, I did some Copic coloring and paper piecing (dress). The border is my Spellbinders' Floral Doily dies.
Let's Hang Out
Just Sayin' set
  • Includes 1 speech bubble stamp, alpha background and 7 sentiments that fit inside the bubble.
  • The font matches the Sending You Sunshine set.
For my card, I decided to use my last remaining stash of Echo Park's Springtime Collection. I curved the sentiment so I could cut it into a flag. That's one neat feature that clear stamps can do that is not possible with rubber stamps.
Awesome Sister

The Craft's Meow Preview of Timeless Tags

Please scroll down below for my blog candy winner.

Today, The Craft's Meow's DT is showcasing one of my 4 sets releasing June 1 called Timeless Tags. This set coordinates with Spellbinders' Grommet Tags dies, which I also designed. This set:
  • retails for $15.
  • includes 5 images (4 tags and one flourish element) and 4 sentiments
  • coordinates with Spellbinders' Grommet Tags dies.
I made a card set that was a cinch to put together. I stamped the fuschia flower image from Celebrating You as background using the tone-on-tone technique. I then embossed the card front with Spellbinders Labels 17; then mounted the tag with foam dots.

Here's a close up of the embossed card base. It's subtle, but just enough to highlight the tag.
