Positive Thoughts

Positive thoughts can make the difference between a good day and a bad one!  Join us for a class focused on the new Positive Thoughts stamp set and coordinating dies.  We will make 3 beautiful cards suitable for any occasion to encourage and uplift the recipient.  All the cards will use the Positive Thoughts stamp set but have different looks.  Just making these cards will make you feel happy inside!  I know I always feel happy when I look at a beautiful card I just finished.  But then, I do have a crazy paper and ink obsession!  LOL!  Don't you?

If you are in the O'Fallon, Missouri, area, we would love for you to join us for this special focus class on Thursday, March 12 at 6:30 p.m. at my home in O'Fallon.  Class fee is just $12 (waived with $45 order).  Class size will be limited, so to ensure your spot, register now by clicking HERE.

Birthday Painted Poppies -- Happy and Bold

All the wonderful images in the Painted Poppies Bundle and the Peaceful Moments Bundle inspire creativity every time I see them!  I just love the power and simplicity of this card using the Painted Poppies stamp set and the Painted Labels Dies.  Those reds (Poppy Parade) just really pop (yeah, I hear the pun too!) against the Whisper White cardstock.  The flower heads were quick and easy to color in with my Poppy Parade Dark Stampin' Blends Marker and I topped it off with a little Wink of Stella on each one.  I didn't even try to use shading on those little flowers; just a solid coloring with the dark marker.  I did use both the light and dark markers to color the large poppy and the leaves.  The fun swirly die is a great accent for the sentiment from the By the Dock stamp set.  I also used a stitched circle for the sentiment from the Stitched Shapes Dies. 

The inside was kept simple with a bold sentiment from the Peaceful Moments stamp set and just a peek of the field of poppies in the lower right corner.  

Stamps:  Painted Poppies (mini p. 26), Peaceful Moments (mini p. 27), By The Dock (mini p. 49)
