TGCDT January 2021 BlogHop

Have you seen the January – June 2021 Mini Catalog? It is amazing! I am in love with the Treasured Medallion stamp set. I used my stamparatus to stamp a bunch of the large medallions in Memento ink on thick whisper white cardstock. I then went to my happy place and just started coloring in with my Stampin’ Blends. Talk about instant Zen!!! So relaxing!!!

This bundle comes with the stamp set and a cute punch that can be used for so many different things. I used it here to create the shape that the sentiment was stamped onto.

The background DSP is called Oh So Hombre and you can get it for free during Sale-A-Bration with any $50 purchase. (ask me for more details).

Please make sure to stop by all the Gentlemen Crafters Blogs to see what wonderful projects they’ve added to this awesome blog hop!!!!

TGCDT OCTOBER BLOG HOP

Is it too early to start thinking about Christmas cards? I hope not! I have finished moving all of my stuff to the new house, it may take me a lifetime to get everything unpacked, organized, and put away.

This months card features the Christmas Gleaming Variety Bundle in the August to December mini catalog. I was surprised and ecstatic when I saw the returning fave! I bought this set the first time around and unfortunately did not have enough time to play with this beautiful collection.

The Designer Series Paper is so pretty and I had to take a few pictures from different angles to show off how nice it is in this card!

The Gentlemen Crafters Bloghop

Hey ya’ll, I’m halfway through with moving into my new house and the GCDT blog hop has given me a much needed break to be creative.

I must say I absolutely love all the products in the Peony Garden Suite. It was so peaceful to color this image in with my Stampin’ Blends. I looked up all the colors that peonies come in and one match perfectly with the in color pretty peacock. I will definitely be trying this set out in all of the peony colors.

Please visit all of the Gentlemen Crafters Blogs for some inspiring projects and ideas!

TGCDT: July 2020

This is my first ever blog hop entry and am excited to be a part of The Gentlemen Crafters.

 

 

Boho Indigo Product Medley

This was a quick, simple, and easy card to put together, Thanks to the BOHO Indigo Product Medley. All I had to do was Stamp the vase out and use the dies to perfectly cut the image to place on the card. Love the Designer Series Paper that comes in the medley. The hardest part was trying to decide which pattern to use. The ribbon is lovely and lush ! I finished off with the delicate looking flowers that come pre-assembled in the kit!! What’s not to love!! If you’d like more details or instructions leave me a comment ! See Ya’ll next time !!!

Thank You

This was another quick card using the Darling Label Punch Box (p44). I stamped the sentiment and punched it out, colored it in with stampin’ blends (p205). I used the same sheet of dsp to make the background and used the square stitched shape die (p220)to cut out the design on the other side. I also embellished with green doily (p192) on a base card made out of gorgeous grape cs (p185).
