"Amazing Day" for Try Stampin On Tuesday

Hello Stamping Friends,

I have a new card for you today highlighting sketch challenge #201 from Try Stamping On Tuesday.  There are wonderful designs from the team for your stamping inspiration and I encourage you to go take a peek....and even submit a card using the latest sketch!  Above all, have fun.  ;-)

For my card this week I used the Amazing Birthday stamp set.  I've seen lots of really neat cards made with this set and wanted to ink it up just for this sketch challenge.  I also used the brand new Birthday Bash dsp which is one of my favorite items in the Occasions Catalog.  

Of course, I couldn't resist make a coordinating envelope for this special card.  It will go to my ridiculously amazing daughter-in-law for her birthday at the end of this month. :-)

I hope you take some time this week to play in your crafting space and "Try Stampin' On Tuesday!"  

Enjoy!

Hello Stamping Friends!

I'm finally back with a new One Stop, Blog Hop and ready to share several new cards that really caught my eye from around the blogosphere.  Most of these cards I would classify as fairly quick and easy, but sometimes a card might need just a little more time to make it all you want it to be.  ;-)  I hope you enjoy these talented paper crafter's designs as much as I did this week!

Enjoy!

Friendship? Yes, Please

Hello Stamping Friends,

Here today with a card based on the sketch challenge over at Mojo Monday.  Julee Tilman is the owner of Mojo Monday blog and is going into her 5th year of beautiful sketches for card makers.  
Go check it out when you have a second.  :-)

For my card I've used the soon to be released Best Year Ever   

designer series paper from the 2015 Sale-A-Bration Catalog. 

 (I can't wait for you all to see the goodies that you can choose for FREE with a $50.00 purchase.  Lots of cute, cute stuff going on in this catty!)  And the From My Heart stamp set. I stamped the image and fussy cut both the circle and the extra friendship banner.  Hope you enjoy!

blessings,

Happy New Year!

Hello Stamping Friends,

     Well, it's been an incredibly busy holiday season over the past couple of months which has kept me from regularly posting here on the Quick and Easy Blog, but this is a new year and I'm back for what I hope will be more frequent posts.  ;) 

The card I'm sharing with you today was posted on the Try Stamping On Tuesday Blog last week, right before Christmas.  The theme was "friend" (I was thinking of every one of my wonderful friends as I made this card) and I think the sketch was meant to be a holiday card, but I guess that slipped right on past me because I used brand new products from the soon-to-be-released Occasions Catalog! 

 It's filled with super fun and pretty paper crafting goodies that you'll want to get your hands on, I promise. 

So, here's my card:

This sketch was a real challenge for me this time and I'm so happy that I pressed on and found the inspiration to create my "friend" card.  I absolutely LOVE the color combo found in the upcoming designer paper, Birthday Bash. 

and the sketch:

 So, I hope you will take a trip over to Try Stamping On Tuesday and play along with the wonderful designers and sketches that are coming in 2015!  

Happy Stamping and Happy New Year!

Hopeful Butterflies for TSOT #197

Hello Stamping Friends,

It's good to be back at blogging after the 3 super busy weeks I've had.  Our board game convention (boardgamegeek.con) was so much fun, Thanksgiving was a feast, and my birthday season has been incredibly full of blessings.  

Today I am filled with joy for all of the blessings in my life with family and friends and it kinda just overflowed into my design for the sketch/joy challenge over at Try Stamping On Tuesday.  

These colorful butterflies exude joy for me; popping off of the black and white floral background.  They remind me of all of the diverse people who have flown though my life and made it so much richer than I could have ever imagined.  How grateful I am for the joy they have brought!  

EnJOY!

Happy Stamping!
