Super easy too! :D And my last card with this set for today and my favorite and B's too:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-t4dYF2Z6qfc/YTey7WESOGI/AAAAAAAAbXo/NNffuur-vU4KI7VaJrhV6IVXZc_WigK-QCNcBGAsYHQ/s840/sss4upmark.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="840" data-original-width="650" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-t4dYF2Z6qfc/YTey7WESOGI/AAAAAAAAbXo/NNffuur-vU4KI7VaJrhV6IVXZc_WigK-QCNcBGAsYHQ/w310-h400/sss4upmark.jpg" width="310" /></a></div><br /><div>For this card I used the Bokeh effect, such a fun one! I cut a stencil by using extra heavy weight vellum with some circle dies and I also used another background stamp from Gina K. called <a href="https://ginakdesigns.com/product/gkd-art-stencils-snowfall/?v=7516fd43adaa" target="_blank">Snowfall</a> This is one of those cards that took its own direction it wanted to go!

I stamped the image and then after watercoloring, i cut around the right edge and then attached it to the card base. I also tied a ribbon on the card base before attaching the image panel. I went traditional poppies...red....but thats ok, red is my favorite! :D </div><div><br /></div><div>Ok, next up is <a href="https://indigojadeart.com/gina-k-designs-september-2020-blog-hop-day-2" target="_blank">Lisa Hetrick's</a> newest set, <a href="https://shrsl.com/2ilv8" target="_blank">Bloomin' Wild</a>:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8qjp3LwwZAQ/X2q5XqGG9YI/AAAAAAAAax0/oJtMm4EQXXMyT9JGDER4W1xoNs-OKBGAACNcBGAsYHQ/s2048/Bloomin-Wild-stamp-set-for-web-01.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1408" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8qjp3LwwZAQ/X2q5XqGG9YI/AAAAAAAAax0/oJtMm4EQXXMyT9JGDER4W1xoNs-OKBGAACNcBGAsYHQ/w275-h400/Bloomin-Wild-stamp-set-for-web-01.jpg" width="275" /></a></div><br /><div>...and matching dies!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bPDKSK1Sdm4/X2q5hjw04ZI/AAAAAAAAax4/vBKhmzKrSVcdiP6Isvn9VKGASVfNDKvPQCNcBGAsYHQ/s2048/Bloomin-Wild-dies-for-web.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1382" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bPDKSK1Sdm4/X2q5hjw04ZI/AAAAAAAAax4/vBKhmzKrSVcdiP6Isvn9VKGASVfNDKvPQCNcBGAsYHQ/w270-h400/Bloomin-Wild-dies-for-web.jpg" width="270" /></a></div><br /><div>Here is my card for today:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UBFtPD0Gvhs/X2q5rrDw82I/AAAAAAAAayA/-2twjDemcU0PRQK2Kwc4B3FMTw894XlJQCNcBGAsYHQ/s766/lisa2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="766" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UBFtPD0Gvhs/X2q5rrDw82I/AAAAAAAAayA/-2twjDemcU0PRQK2Kwc4B3FMTw894XlJQCNcBGAsYHQ/w314-h400/lisa2.jpg" width="314" /></a></div>For this card I used some chalks, then versamark ink to 'lift' the chalk. I decided to heat emboss too. I couldnt decide on a sentiment so just left that off the front. LOL! Remember eyelets? well, yea, still got a HUGE amount so used a few to make the cord/twine frame the flower. This looks so much better IRL...one of those that is so hard to capture how it really looks, kwim? But, its kinda fall-ish to me, so thats fitting for now, ha!<div><br /></div><div>Ok, next up on your hop will be the uberly talented....</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://myblogidlet.blogspot.com/2020/09/gina-k-designs-september-2020-new_23.html" target="_blank">Donna Idlet</a>!!<br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><div style="background-color: white; color: #663399; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;">All of these stamps are available now!

It flew off! ha! No, for this one I just used one of the gorgeous flowers in the set. I didnt color it, but swished on some bleach onto the cardstock, then stamped it in matching ink of the cardstock, keeping it pretty simple! Master Layouts 2 was used in this too along with the thankful word die. Here is a bee though! I showed this in our Facebook group last night:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zcfEFvamvDU/X2lTzKeV4pI/AAAAAAAAaw8/sT_Jt4y-UFoLb7IDvNcYsu0X_7sI005bACNcBGAsYHQ/s751/mel2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="751" data-original-width="600" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zcfEFvamvDU/X2lTzKeV4pI/AAAAAAAAaw8/sT_Jt4y-UFoLb7IDvNcYsu0X_7sI005bACNcBGAsYHQ/s320/mel2.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div>I used a stencil first then I colored and fussy cut the flower and the bee. I created the honeycomb with the stamp, and a suggestion...leave spaces between the honeycomb when stamping it out, it will look better! I drew the black lines on mine cause you couldnt really tell sinc I stamped in the same color of ink as the cardstock I used, lol! </div><div><br /></div><div>Ok, up next is <a href="https://hanlynart.com/" target="_blank">Hannah Drapinkski</a>'s new set, Innocent Orchid:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qgk9U5wIyOo/X2lU5NfQcQI/AAAAAAAAaxE/yIfHJTwm_PoCUfhRwx59lnt2M1KRo1ImwCNcBGAsYHQ/s2048/Innocent-Orchid-stamp-set-for-web-01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1408" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qgk9U5wIyOo/X2lU5NfQcQI/AAAAAAAAaxE/yIfHJTwm_PoCUfhRwx59lnt2M1KRo1ImwCNcBGAsYHQ/s320/Innocent-Orchid-stamp-set-for-web-01.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div>This flower is gorgeous! and huge!

<div>

<div>
First, just look at all this awesomeness!</div>
<div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Three stamp sets? a Stencil? Dies? Paper? YES!!! Here is one of my cards for today:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5XCt7bbWKZs/XumfaJab9rI/AAAAAAAAahA/k6us_cfXKz8aNatUvqYNqRMyBr_QxiQfwCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/kit5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="735" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5XCt7bbWKZs/XumfaJab9rI/AAAAAAAAahA/k6us_cfXKz8aNatUvqYNqRMyBr_QxiQfwCNcBGAsYHQ/s400/kit5.jpg" width="326" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
I stamped the focal image with distress inks and lightly spritz it with water to make it 'bleed'. then after drying it I used the Square Mandala stencil and inked around the image. I stamped the sentiment, messed it up, so had to cover it with the 'so much' that I stamped on a strip of paper and popped it up slightly. It was a bit trickly getting the 'y' stamped on the strip too, but i did it, lol! sometimes booboos add to it in a GOOD way, ha! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And here is another one:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Q9KX7NIzL30/Xumg5UutXzI/AAAAAAAAahM/IosyBmO3UmQC_hh8THmUHP5HFAeo7MLFQCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/kit2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="754" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Q9KX7NIzL30/Xumg5UutXzI/AAAAAAAAahM/IosyBmO3UmQC_hh8THmUHP5HFAeo7MLFQCNcBGAsYHQ/s400/kit2.jpg" width="317" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For this card I Heat embossed the hands with clear embossing powder after stamping in black. I used the new Master Layout dies on this card, for the designer paper too which that is from the Bold and Blooming designer Paper pack. It went perfect with the heart hands to me! This goes to B on Father's Day this sunday! Inside I wrote all the mushy stuff about him being our one and only's Dad! :D </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-z06tlMXFh_s/XumiJavQvFI/AAAAAAAAahY/c2PL_6ngBs00Mzqqje-OPG8U_a32_ghCQCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/kit3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="743" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-z06tlMXFh_s/XumiJavQvFI/AAAAAAAAahY/c2PL_6ngBs00Mzqqje-OPG8U_a32_ghCQCNcBGAsYHQ/s400/kit3.jpg" width="322" /></a></div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Can you see what I did? After using the stencil and white ink, then stamping the flower image, All i really had left to do is stamp the sentiments.....wellllll, got that one upside down there didnt i? haha! Soooo, decided to stamp the 'happy' and cut it out with the new oval dies in the Master Layout die set (which are also backordered and same time frame to be here!) Sooo THEN had to stamp the flower and pop it up over the oval part because it looked funny with part of the flower under it.! So, dont give up on the booboos! you see what a time I had!! And I think they turned out pretty good, lol! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Ok, that's all from me this time! Next up on your hop is the ohsoawesome.............</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GDjoh9oG3y8/XugFYfP9VvI/AAAAAAAAafI/-syNnr4TItksPFO9MWpcYiDTiqmmd9jsgCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/emilyboy2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="525" data-original-width="600" height="350" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GDjoh9oG3y8/XugFYfP9VvI/AAAAAAAAafI/-syNnr4TItksPFO9MWpcYiDTiqmmd9jsgCNcBGAsYHQ/s400/emilyboy2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
Ive been loving that kraft lately havent i? LOL! I did a CAS card, cut some strips in various blue colors of GKD cardstock and to help me align them I scored at1/4" intervals and then just glued them on. Stamped the sentiment and tied the bow and tada! all done! I added a strip on the inside , just to insert a gift card, super simple! And now the Baby Girl set:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mx61HahCcNI/XugGJC1QMxI/AAAAAAAAafU/O0Z8ccXZatwuUVNmL8JwKfSeAJyHKSdugCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/emilygirl1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="595" data-original-width="600" height="396" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mx61HahCcNI/XugGJC1QMxI/AAAAAAAAafU/O0Z8ccXZatwuUVNmL8JwKfSeAJyHKSdugCNcBGAsYHQ/s400/emilygirl1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
For this card, I also used the Master Layout and oval dies and for the stripes on this one I just used the ink pads in various purple shades and swiped them direct to the paper to create them. I fussy cut that little flower and kept it simple too, no coloroing, lol! See the little purple clay heart in the bottom right corner? From the new embellishments! LOVING those! And the center of the flower has one of the dazzling rhinestones! <br />
<br />
Next up is the new set by <a href="https://heartlandlanepaper.com/blog">Hannah Drapinkski</a>, <a href="https://shrsl.com/2c489">Graceful Greenery</a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2l-5oF_GLQg/XugHkPekG0I/AAAAAAAAafg/eBy5YznyKs8kynCnR6M-tq3L7IvSZ1rrwCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Graceful-Greenery-for-web.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="576" data-original-width="396" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2l-5oF_GLQg/XugHkPekG0I/AAAAAAAAafg/eBy5YznyKs8kynCnR6M-tq3L7IvSZ1rrwCNcBGAsYHQ/s400/Graceful-Greenery-for-web.jpg" width="275" /></a></div>
Here is my card for today with this set:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mwf81bIPDjY/XugHsT6eLBI/AAAAAAAAafk/5QqZZksTYaMjk6F7ub5-dJDaPVYNynJeACNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/hannah2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="518" data-original-width="600" height="345" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mwf81bIPDjY/XugHsT6eLBI/AAAAAAAAafk/5QqZZksTYaMjk6F7ub5-dJDaPVYNynJeACNcBGAsYHQ/s400/hannah2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
I stamped the main image and then colored some of the flowers and fussy cut them and glued them around the greenery. I love how it turned it, just the look i wanted! But goes to show you dont have to coloring ALL of it if you arent a 'colorerer' haha! Like me! I so love this sentiment too! <br />
<br />
Up next is a new set by <a href="https://indigojadeart.com/gina-k-designs-gina-k-designs-june-2020-blog-hop-day-2">Lisa Hetrick</a>, <a href="https://shrsl.com/2c489">Free To Flourish</a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vk3gnvIoaV8/XugIlB_vgHI/AAAAAAAAafw/GbCUGnJjA8YgxgwRpy53L_NtMCHq6LlBQCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Free-to-Flourish-for-web.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="576" data-original-width="396" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vk3gnvIoaV8/XugIlB_vgHI/AAAAAAAAafw/GbCUGnJjA8YgxgwRpy53L_NtMCHq6LlBQCNcBGAsYHQ/s400/Free-to-Flourish-for-web.jpg" width="275" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
AND matching dies!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ND15T4J9qpQ/XugJypyzpvI/AAAAAAAAagI/JGeAjZNFMz4kpNKQNgu5SEgipieTR0d5ACNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Free-to-Flourish-Die-Set.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="662" data-original-width="505" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ND15T4J9qpQ/XugJypyzpvI/AAAAAAAAagI/JGeAjZNFMz4kpNKQNgu5SEgipieTR0d5ACNcBGAsYHQ/s400/Free-to-Flourish-Die-Set.jpg" width="305" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
And my card for today with this one:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8VbAJu9gO1c/XugJPKzfmUI/AAAAAAAAaf8/YN6eOfjZ2w470gG2lhV2F7pCnGYlREfFQCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/lisa1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="765" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8VbAJu9gO1c/XugJPKzfmUI/AAAAAAAAaf8/YN6eOfjZ2w470gG2lhV2F7pCnGYlREfFQCNcBGAsYHQ/s400/lisa1.jpg" width="312" /></a></div>
For this card I created a watercolor background on the image panel that looked like a canvas all hanging to me! I then gold heat embossed the arrows and cut those out with the matching dies and the flower and greenery also used the dies on. i fussy cut the hanging part, why I dont know, just looked better to me for what I was going for, lol! The sentiment I just stamped on a strip of paper and dove-tailed the ends and glued it on! I used twine and a brad to make it look like it was hanging (or I hope, lol). How fun is this set?? <br />
<br />
Ok, next up on your hop is the ohsoawesome.......................<br />

LOTS easier , ha! and I love this sentiment! Just made a CAS card with this and kept it sorta masculine for the men in my life that I might need to mail this to!

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I just spritzed the background I created with some Distress oxide inks, then sprinkled some water with glitter, but you can see the sparkle, i tried and tried to capture that, darn it! I didnt make one, but i think this would be awesome to use on a shaker card AND Gina has the perfect stuffs you can put in a shaker card too! Look at these new goodies!</div>

<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nZlXL6Nns1A/Xl2wUa46zXI/AAAAAAAAaQk/uVQNNA49FkMcwFpgLxnPttWsj3qqRbIMgCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/justbecauseemily.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="660" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nZlXL6Nns1A/Xl2wUa46zXI/AAAAAAAAaQk/uVQNNA49FkMcwFpgLxnPttWsj3qqRbIMgCNcBGAsYHQ/s400/justbecauseemily.jpg" width="275" /></a></div>
Here is what I have for today:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6cgL7HEafko/Xl2xwckTFDI/AAAAAAAAaQw/SAqMwrZ1m1gVpeAY4QsnRb3YnoVzJw83wCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/emily3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="654" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6cgL7HEafko/Xl2xwckTFDI/AAAAAAAAaQw/SAqMwrZ1m1gVpeAY4QsnRb3YnoVzJw83wCNcBGAsYHQ/s400/emily3.jpg" width="366" /></a></div>
For this card, I stamped the "Bless Your Heart" sentiment and heart embossed it, Like, I'm from TEXAS, how could I NOT use that sentiment?! haha! I common saying around here in my parts! I also used the Heartfelt Stencil, (which right now is only available in the <a href="http://shrsl.com/25bjw">A Big Hello Card Kit</a>, but will be available alone after the new kit comes out probably later this month) and various colors of GKD inks in red and pink and whites with the blender brushes to created the background. Then cut out and popped up my sentiment and attached the little leaves and heart and ties some twine, all done! :D <br />
<br />
Next up is <a href="https://hanlynart.com/blog-2/">Hannah Drapinski's</a> new set called, <a href="http://shrsl.com/25bj9">Kindness Wreath</a>:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-t-1hkH1LbHU/Xl2zjGCL1lI/AAAAAAAAaQ8/EvwLTZ-bXUY0MaFNC4IEpGefPivqrKVpwCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/kindnesswreathhannah.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="660" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-t-1hkH1LbHU/Xl2zjGCL1lI/AAAAAAAAaQ8/EvwLTZ-bXUY0MaFNC4IEpGefPivqrKVpwCNcBGAsYHQ/s400/kindnesswreathhannah.jpg" width="275" /></a></div>
Here is my card for today with this set:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Uy2_3qzwsyg/Xl2zsRUqgmI/AAAAAAAAaRA/v7QH-lVGYE0CoDwWAOnw8k0hhVcqfaOmwCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/hannah2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="618" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Uy2_3qzwsyg/Xl2zsRUqgmI/AAAAAAAAaRA/v7QH-lVGYE0CoDwWAOnw8k0hhVcqfaOmwCNcBGAsYHQ/s400/hannah2.jpg" width="387" /></a></div>
This basically is a crayon resist card. I stamped the image and the sentiment (which is from Emily's set, Just Because) and then colored with a white crayon, then used distress inks in vintage photo and black soot., buffed it off. Well, i then decided it needed somethine more, so did the white dots with a gel pen. THEN, wanted something else, so added some sparkle by using the glitz gel and a paint brush. lol! Here is a close up of the sparkle:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fYV94wCvwVQ/Xl20Six7pfI/AAAAAAAAaRE/iacCiU2fXX0B4jxeq7qbF-lnNFlw2_jpQCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/hannah2close.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="755" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fYV94wCvwVQ/Xl20Six7pfI/AAAAAAAAaRE/iacCiU2fXX0B4jxeq7qbF-lnNFlw2_jpQCNcBGAsYHQ/s400/hannah2close.jpg" width="317" /></a></div>
not a very good pic, but it kinda gives you the idea better, that it sparkles!! My sister swiped this card already to give to a coworker going through a hard time after loosing a beloved pet. :( Im glad that my creations can maybe convey to a friend how they are thinking of them and care deeply that they are hurting. kwim?<br />
<br />
Ok, now last but FAR from least is <a href="https://indigojadeart.com/gina-k-designs-february-2020-blog-hop-day-2">Lisa Hetrick's</a> newest set called, <a href="http://shrsl.com/25bj7">Woodland Whimsy</a>:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5-U-Eh8KBwg/Xl21ZpMfuCI/AAAAAAAAaRU/2LO4bITJCR0UEJULivbcIIX7GVyGxm9kQCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/woodlandwhimsylisa.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="647" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5-U-Eh8KBwg/Xl21ZpMfuCI/AAAAAAAAaRU/2LO4bITJCR0UEJULivbcIIX7GVyGxm9kQCNcBGAsYHQ/s400/woodlandwhimsylisa.jpg" width="268" /></a></div>
And here is my card:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Q1dkyHp0Lko/Xl21kI1Ws4I/AAAAAAAAaRY/voAeA3pO5u4DCAUAvRao3xI4mO7Q6eYFACNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/lisa2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="617" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Q1dkyHp0Lko/Xl21kI1Ws4I/AAAAAAAAaRY/voAeA3pO5u4DCAUAvRao3xI4mO7Q6eYFACNcBGAsYHQ/s400/lisa2.jpg" width="388" /></a></div>
I made a CAS card for this one, did some quick watercoloring on the flowers on water color paper, love the texture it gives our cards. Then layered onto GKD kraft cardstock and rolled the edge. I left a sentiment off because wasnt quite sure how I wanted to use it yet. Im making an effort to USE more of my cards I make this year, sending them out! I have done better, but not as good as I need to, lol! <br />
<br />

And here is my card for today with this set:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MTjYfxSHl4Q/Xlw2eVCi_5I/AAAAAAAAaPk/V0qFTvV3bGQI9-jYA7QEvaz4YK93pGu8ACNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/mel1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="599" data-original-width="600" height="398" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MTjYfxSHl4Q/Xlw2eVCi_5I/AAAAAAAAaPk/V0qFTvV3bGQI9-jYA7QEvaz4YK93pGu8ACNcBGAsYHQ/s400/mel1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
I used the Cherokee Rose image and first stamped it onto a tag i cut out with versamark ink and then clear embossing powder. I then spritz some distress oxide ink sprays in various colors , buffed it off the embossed flowers to make them stand out. I then simply stamped same image with matching inks to the cardstock colors I used and fussy cut those to add in the corner there. I also used the <a href="http://shrsl.com/2593u">Diagonal Stripes background stamp</a> on the piece behind the tag, but you can hardly set it, lol. I then just added some swirly leavey things and tulle and doodled a bit, all done! I had fun making this card! :D <br />
<br />
Up next is <a href="http://www.silaika.blog/">Beth Silaika's</a> newest set called, <a href="http://shrsl.com/257pp">Simply Circular</a>!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-d_FXY3Igh5I/Xlw4NdEtxPI/AAAAAAAAaP0/XsKFM_Q1SJMOkjtjV3TbvMnSL-X-VtRoQCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/simplycircularbeth.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="579" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-d_FXY3Igh5I/Xlw4NdEtxPI/AAAAAAAAaP0/XsKFM_Q1SJMOkjtjV3TbvMnSL-X-VtRoQCNcBGAsYHQ/s400/simplycircularbeth.jpg" width="241" /></a></div>
Here is my card for today with this set:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5bKwqYgMrYg/Xlw4VjryQjI/AAAAAAAAaP4/6XvO2pQNK3Uy7pFYbBY7h4GQNuh7_BjrwCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/beth2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="628" data-original-width="600" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5bKwqYgMrYg/Xlw4VjryQjI/AAAAAAAAaP4/6XvO2pQNK3Uy7pFYbBY7h4GQNuh7_BjrwCNcBGAsYHQ/s320/beth2.jpg" width="305" /></a></div>
I used several of the circles (most of them, lol!) and then die cut and stacked them like this, different heights. I also used that Diagonal Stripes background stamp on this too and the sentiment is from Lisa's new set, which we will showcase tomorrow for you! Oh the possibilities with Beth's set though! I expect to see some awesome backgrounds created with this set too! :D<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-e5MTGFtGcm0/XjEVGD1f_nI/AAAAAAAAaK8/HsaAjrv6cNctTwRIf50bstJTRa1zv47pQCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/A-Big-Hello-Kit-Insert-Revised-again-01.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1237" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-e5MTGFtGcm0/XjEVGD1f_nI/AAAAAAAAaK8/HsaAjrv6cNctTwRIf50bstJTRa1zv47pQCNcBGAsYHQ/s640/A-Big-Hello-Kit-Insert-Revised-again-01.png" width="494" /></a></div>
<b><br /></b>
LOOK at all of the goodies that come in this! OH MY!! Here is what I have done for today with this kit:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GkcdsZoRF0A/XjEVffp6zrI/AAAAAAAAaLE/2ZJSoSFDRYYBu4txIIYRwfH60qLhMoXhwCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/kitmint.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="663" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GkcdsZoRF0A/XjEVffp6zrI/AAAAAAAAaLE/2ZJSoSFDRYYBu4txIIYRwfH60qLhMoXhwCNcBGAsYHQ/s400/kitmint.jpg" width="361" /></a></div>
<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
I used the mint potted plant for this one and watercolored it. I added the little label by attaching to a toothpick and positioning it in the pot with a little hole i made to look like its sitting in the little pot. :D I also used the images in the triple stamping design I made for the layout. That sentiment, LOVE it! Here is another:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sDoJwWSGsl8/XjEWNkYPYXI/AAAAAAAAaLM/r6NO_-qpayc8GqtNK0lOEYqPrDfLju0QACNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/kithello.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="623" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sDoJwWSGsl8/XjEWNkYPYXI/AAAAAAAAaLM/r6NO_-qpayc8GqtNK0lOEYqPrDfLju0QACNcBGAsYHQ/s400/kithello.jpg" width="385" /></a></div>
For this card, i colored the florals with watercolor brushes direct onto the stamp and then 'huffed' on them before stamping . I cut the top edge out around the flowers and popped the layer up. Love the look that gives this card! And then I have one more:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sOLiRaRkyEA/XjEWzyacB-I/AAAAAAAAaLU/9ScMH2UIeSokETw80l_qtWLL22dt6PJ7ACNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/kithappyvalentine.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="684" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sOLiRaRkyEA/XjEWzyacB-I/AAAAAAAAaLU/9ScMH2UIeSokETw80l_qtWLL22dt6PJ7ACNcBGAsYHQ/s400/kithappyvalentine.jpg" width="350" /></a></div>
<br />
I made a layered valentine card and I used some foiling from Therm O Web in the Gina K. line! How cut is this?! Love the colors too in this kit!<br />

<br />
Ok, we are showcasing three stamp sets today so lets get to it right!?<br />
<br />
Up first is <a href="https://emilyloggans.com/?page_id=992">Emily's</a> newest set called <b>Be The Rainbow:</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GD5Aq6dIb2A/Xi8_2WOoRzI/AAAAAAAAaJY/YS3BKbGvvcouQuLlxqg1cFN7otKxs5ygwCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Be-the-rainbow-01.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1100" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GD5Aq6dIb2A/Xi8_2WOoRzI/AAAAAAAAaJY/YS3BKbGvvcouQuLlxqg1cFN7otKxs5ygwCNcBGAsYHQ/s400/Be-the-rainbow-01.png" width="275" /></a></div>
Here is what I have done for today:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hphAUHvAhfc/Xi9ACcMDmWI/AAAAAAAAaJc/oqxNHXEBUhAoGB7gl_eY2pZf7j_cIBfygCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/galaxynotalone.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="625" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hphAUHvAhfc/Xi9ACcMDmWI/AAAAAAAAaJc/oqxNHXEBUhAoGB7gl_eY2pZf7j_cIBfygCNcBGAsYHQ/s400/galaxynotalone.jpg" width="383" /></a></div>
I LOVE this sentiment so wanted the main focus on it. I tried to create a look, as if looking up at the stars! I dont know about most, but I know I can look up and see all of the beautiful stars and feel so small but also feel comfort, such as this hopefully will give someone! :D This was created with watercolors and some shimmer pens then splattered some white paint on it. I sure sparkles IRL!<br />
<br />
Here is another card I made using this set that I showed the day after the release party:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-EGRCUtloNAo/Xi9BoHpDM_I/AAAAAAAAaJ8/aC3ZayTVficGRHuqN4BJXH9GLKA4gpLywCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/betherainbow.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="689" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-EGRCUtloNAo/Xi9BoHpDM_I/AAAAAAAAaJ8/aC3ZayTVficGRHuqN4BJXH9GLKA4gpLywCNcBGAsYHQ/s400/betherainbow.jpg" width="347" /></a></div>
<br />
I created a mask using the cloud stamp and then sponged like a mad women to create my cloudy sky! ha! The rainbow was stamped using GKD Barely There ink so I could color over it to make it rainbow colors like it is..then I cut little slits to inset the edges of the rainbow to make it look like its coming out of the clouds.<br />
<br />
<br />
Up next we have <a href="https://hanlynart.com/blog-2/">Hannah's</a> newest set, <b>Massive Peony and die:</b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Uo6ceU6Spcc/Xi9BM3KNqPI/AAAAAAAAaJs/dFBSUkW034Ebq1YitnFB5GWSQiHt3BWBwCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Massive-Peony.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1080" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Uo6ceU6Spcc/Xi9BM3KNqPI/AAAAAAAAaJs/dFBSUkW034Ebq1YitnFB5GWSQiHt3BWBwCNcBGAsYHQ/s400/Massive-Peony.png" width="270" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Vn-iLTUw-6E/Xi9BU8Byj7I/AAAAAAAAaJw/sxwScN3pXiYPs2Pg-sj347DOF6BGtBQywCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Massive-Peony-Die-01.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1311" data-original-width="1085" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Vn-iLTUw-6E/Xi9BU8Byj7I/AAAAAAAAaJw/sxwScN3pXiYPs2Pg-sj347DOF6BGtBQywCNcBGAsYHQ/s320/Massive-Peony-Die-01.png" width="264" /></a></div>
Here is what I have for you today:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZESSEMcWp3g/Xi9CVOilLaI/AAAAAAAAaKE/JLbAmXNYBhQFsKXb10UsgWP78gELbb8EgCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/brownfullbloom.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="628" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZESSEMcWp3g/Xi9CVOilLaI/AAAAAAAAaKE/JLbAmXNYBhQFsKXb10UsgWP78gELbb8EgCNcBGAsYHQ/s400/brownfullbloom.jpg" width="381" /></a></div>
For this card, I stamped onto brown paper and then used prisma pencils, a charcoal pencil and white gel pen, basically just playing! I dont really have a technique for doing! lol. I like how it turned out so turned it into a card. :D<br />
<br />
Up last, but far from least is <a href="https://indigojadeart.com/gina-k-designs-january-2020-blog-hop-day-2">Lisa's</a> new set, <b>You Anchor Me and die:</b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WyfCqZTfzoM/Xi9D8DrSXaI/AAAAAAAAaKQ/Wy-_st6sJEQ9Gcjbblk5mL0_uFKh936xwCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/You-Anchor-Me-01.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1100" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WyfCqZTfzoM/Xi9D8DrSXaI/AAAAAAAAaKQ/Wy-_st6sJEQ9Gcjbblk5mL0_uFKh936xwCNcBGAsYHQ/s400/You-Anchor-Me-01.png" width="275" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-N6nqJ1Q78RE/Xi9EJ3MK9kI/AAAAAAAAaKU/Lujt90gZfkE2sHNsifqNdYMoXEAkpSOCQCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/You-Anchor-Me-Dies-01.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1100" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-N6nqJ1Q78RE/Xi9EJ3MK9kI/AAAAAAAAaKU/Lujt90gZfkE2sHNsifqNdYMoXEAkpSOCQCNcBGAsYHQ/s400/You-Anchor-Me-Dies-01.png" width="275" /></a></div>
Here is my card for today:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Z-E4PZdwc7o/Xi9ES_fADxI/AAAAAAAAaKc/pWc0ku9OoIExKgtaFpRu5fklguRRnVddwCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/anchoursoulblue.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="610" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Z-E4PZdwc7o/Xi9ES_fADxI/AAAAAAAAaKc/pWc0ku9OoIExKgtaFpRu5fklguRRnVddwCNcBGAsYHQ/s400/anchoursoulblue.jpg" width="392" /></a></div>
For my card, I stamped the anchor image in versamark and heat embossed with clear. I then did various stamping with the florals and sprigs around the anchor. I rounded the corners of the top part of the base just to give it more interest....tied a knot with some cording and all done! I think this makes a good masculine card! OK, thats all for today! Be sure and come on back by tomorrow, dont forget! It seems like folks do! haha! But I so appreciate your comments and read every single one!<br />

Here is a card I made, a bit different one! Different style sorta...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JpKMjAC1E9c/Xi3zIpaEF3I/AAAAAAAAaIU/rHDfO_dZ_10E3853qSMJGUtNZPHzmGq7wCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/flatstyleembroid.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="619" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JpKMjAC1E9c/Xi3zIpaEF3I/AAAAAAAAaIU/rHDfO_dZ_10E3853qSMJGUtNZPHzmGq7wCNcBGAsYHQ/s400/flatstyleembroid.jpg" width="387" /></a></div>
This card is flat, does not open up except for the little focal image on top, like this:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BnpPYc_lA_Q/Xi3zU9YoyWI/AAAAAAAAaIY/Ll7sfuYRXxkiu2qjRI215isbKNatxQbmACNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/flatstyleembroidopen.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="732" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BnpPYc_lA_Q/Xi3zU9YoyWI/AAAAAAAAaIY/Ll7sfuYRXxkiu2qjRI215isbKNatxQbmACNcBGAsYHQ/s400/flatstyleembroidopen.jpg" width="327" /></a></div>
Just did something a little different! It actually was going to be a ATC size little card and then i decided to just mount it on a flat base. I like how it turned out! :D Here is up close and personal view:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-b7mSPGOArEI/Xi3zuE_fPtI/AAAAAAAAaIk/tpUJKLHquuUgKFeLkHbgiE4SBx_YOdm9QCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/flatstyleembroidcloseup.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="586" data-original-width="600" height="390" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-b7mSPGOArEI/Xi3zuE_fPtI/AAAAAAAAaIk/tpUJKLHquuUgKFeLkHbgiE4SBx_YOdm9QCNcBGAsYHQ/s400/flatstyleembroidcloseup.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
I heat embossed the needle in silver to give a more realistic look. Then did the shadowing on the thread piece. I only stamped half the leaf, to seem like Im finishing embroidering the other half with the thread! LOL! <br />
<br />
Ok, next up is <a href="https://silaika.blog/">Beth Silaika's new set</a> <b>Happy Hearts and dies:</b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xywN5hpGlnQ/Xi30hFBHNDI/AAAAAAAAaIw/DvLFWvZ71dYDY24_XxwSUOGqO-cptCC8QCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Happy-Hearts-01.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="966" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xywN5hpGlnQ/Xi30hFBHNDI/AAAAAAAAaIw/DvLFWvZ71dYDY24_XxwSUOGqO-cptCC8QCNcBGAsYHQ/s400/Happy-Hearts-01.png" width="241" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Aqd5m0MTudU/Xi30lKMwlhI/AAAAAAAAaI0/PIVidOlSXVYda5uv-gTOX4ugbHm1OSKHACNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Happy-Hearts-Die-Set-01.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1270" data-original-width="1085" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Aqd5m0MTudU/Xi30lKMwlhI/AAAAAAAAaI0/PIVidOlSXVYda5uv-gTOX4ugbHm1OSKHACNcBGAsYHQ/s400/Happy-Hearts-Die-Set-01.png" width="341" /></a></div>
And here is what I have done for today with this set:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bTWe-IjCIN4/Xi301efoB8I/AAAAAAAAaI8/Nkb9tAGuK4IXmliQRfd_o2pUsYqfLXCkQCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/loveyoualways.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="624" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bTWe-IjCIN4/Xi301efoB8I/AAAAAAAAaI8/Nkb9tAGuK4IXmliQRfd_o2pUsYqfLXCkQCNcBGAsYHQ/s400/loveyoualways.jpg" width="383" /></a></div>
I kept this pretty simple, used one of the circles with the little heart and the sentiments you see. I also used the background stamp <a href="http://shrsl.com/22z23">Rose Lace</a> . I love this background stamp with Beth's set, reminds me of old lace and nostalgic valentines! I heat embossed this stamp too and then used distress ink in vintage photo to age everything, even the little circle. Used tulle as my ribbon and all done! <br />

On my card I also used the background stamp Diagonal Stripes...looks like candy canes dont it? :D I stamped the large poinsettia flower 2 times and the smaller one once and heat embossed with embossing powders and then layered them. Layered with gold paper and lace...it gives it a kinda nostalgic look to me! What ya think? </div>

Isnt it adorable with that little envelope in his hand, peeping out of the trees!? LOL! I stamped the trees onto colored vellum from my stash and heat embossed them in white. I cut a little slit in the vellum, after coloring the snowman with copics then die cutting him and poked him in the slit to make him look like hes 'in the trees' LOL! AND I just got to say, Gina's connect clue works AWEsome on vellum! I just put little dabs where the trees are on the backside of it so you couldnt see it and it has held fantastic! </div>

For my card, I first swiped on some white chalk paint and let that dry really good. I then Heat embossed the tree line in black. I also used the stencil again called Snow Fall that comes in the Warm Winter Wishes kit that we will be showcasing tomorrow for you! LOVing that stencil, can you tell?! I used the textured pastillage for the now also.Then just did a bit of layering and tied with red twine with a miniature Christmas ball tied in. Waiting for it to dry is what took longest on this one, lol! LOVE how it turned out though!<br />

I did a CAS card, which are really hard for me, lol. I always think I need to just add one more thing, ha! I stamped the leaves on the card base with versamark ink and then the banner and little leaves also in matching color and cut them out and glued them in this matter to look like falling leaves, or tried, LOL! I used little jewelry jump rings as my hangers for my banner and then just slipped the cord chord through and tired a bow, tada! done! <br />
<br />

and my card:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qKZsCu6S9iQ/XYjIdBING1I/AAAAAAAAZ00/PPTWPZv3EiMoDbN4vXmGAIglXBLUAOUWQCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/watercoloredfloral1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="715" data-original-width="700" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qKZsCu6S9iQ/XYjIdBING1I/AAAAAAAAZ00/PPTWPZv3EiMoDbN4vXmGAIglXBLUAOUWQCNcBGAsYHQ/s400/watercoloredfloral1.jpg" width="391" /></a></div>
For this card I used water colors. I did not spend much time on the flowers, I just wanted basically to keep it kinda soft and feminine. I actually love how the background came out, but you dont have much of it to see, lol! I then decided to make a shaped cards with some old dies I have had forever. Shaped cards a fun! :D The sentiment is stamped onto a piece of vellum and I used the Connect glue to glue it to the card, just little dots here and there and it holds fantastic!<br />
<br />
and next two cards are from that awesome Autumn Splendor Card Kit, that sadly for the ones that did not get at release time, is now sold out! So sorry! BUT you can console yourself with the thought that the stamp sets will be sold when the next kit comes out, not as a kit, but separately. Even the awesome stencil will be available separately! <br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0HUzj6bixkY/XYjKLusUGgI/AAAAAAAAZ1Q/JiT1P7cggAUqYlV1PK6UuazSQ30Vdb7BQCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/resistinwhite1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="708" data-original-width="700" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0HUzj6bixkY/XYjKLusUGgI/AAAAAAAAZ1Q/JiT1P7cggAUqYlV1PK6UuazSQ30Vdb7BQCNcBGAsYHQ/s400/resistinwhite1.jpg" width="395" /></a></div>
The first card with the kraft card stock just uses the stencil and then a sentiment from the set. I SO love our stencil collection we now have with Gina K. Designs! And new on this one is that the name of the stencil is in raised embossed like letters on the edge of the stencil and it has like a little beviled edge that makes the stenciled edges even more sharp and clear! LOVE it! The flower I made and stuck on is a simple one to make. one of those you just free hand cut in a circle then roll up! :D<br />
<br />
The next card is the fun Crayon Resist technique! If you have never tried the crayon resist technique Gina has a fun video on it here: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRa0mUKMcKg">Gina K. 's Crayon Resist Video</a>. And that is basically how I did this card. Then I cut the dies and layered them to give them more dimension. I distressed the edges a bit to go along with my distressed looking crayon resist there, haha! But I kep tthis card pretty plain and flat for easy mailing! :D <br />
<br />
ok, that's all for today! I hope is some small way (or big) that I have inspired you! I truly believe that we all have a creative soul...you just have to find that one thing that inspires it! See ya later gator!<br />

For this card I stamped the image with versamark ink, and was gonna heat emboss with gold, but went another direction with sorta no line coloring, lol. I used prisma pencils for my coloring. Im in love with these big ole' cone flowers! You can just color them any way you want, or not color and they look fantastic! If you google to get idea of how to color you will see just all colors! Rich vibrant and some like this. So very versatile! Notice the little petal that fell off? haha Ok and then I made this with the leaves from the kit:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7Z1VlLkaxWw/XXkMU-2FUTI/AAAAAAAAZyw/d4pXbIaEvz8yz9JC9y_vYgO9MhFg29ILACNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/doodledleaf1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="734" data-original-width="700" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7Z1VlLkaxWw/XXkMU-2FUTI/AAAAAAAAZyw/d4pXbIaEvz8yz9JC9y_vYgO9MhFg29ILACNcBGAsYHQ/s400/doodledleaf1.jpg" width="381" /></a></div>

For this card, there I go, doodling on my cards again, lol. I stamped the leaf, a two step stamping one, which is VERY easy to line up, i promise! then I decided to doodle around the petals like i have done. For my background I used the Foliage stencil and also, to keep with the doodling, doodles around it here and there! This one is a Billy POTR....(Pick Of The Release)!! :D </div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #707070; font-family: "Open Sans", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; padding: 0px 0px 1em; vertical-align: baseline;">
And quickly, the new incentive stamp, <b>Santana Rose.</b> This is the free stamp set you get with $75 purchase and are a big hit! No need to put in your cart either, it will auto ship with qualifying orders too. </div>

<br />
Since I showed one I had colored last night (in black and white, pic below) I decided to do some fun paper piecing! I only paper pieced the flowers and then just left the leaves and other foliage blank. I then layered it onto that same paper and cut around the edges of the flowers to get the look it has here. This took no time where as the coloring took me awhile, im slow like that, lol!<br />
<br />
Ok, up next is <a href="https://emilylogganspapercrafts.com/" target="_blank">Emily's</a> (Congrats to her on her new baby!!) set called <b>Happy Fall and Happy Fall Die Set:</b><br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
For this card I first put down some fall color inks from the GKD line and the I used the Leafy stencil. I then cut my paper at the top and did some stitching up there and a bit in Xs around the bottom. The sentiment was heat embossed in clear, before sponging the colors on actually. It needed something so slapped up bow up top..STILL not sure about it, but I spent some time on it so showed anyways, lol!<br />
<br />
<br />
Hope you have enjoyed my creations and feel that inspiration to break out your GKD stamps too! Up next in our blog hop is the oh so awesome...........drumrolllllllllll..............<br />

<br />
OH I had fun making this card! For the leaves, I did not stamp them I just left them in the dies and used 3 different <a href="http://shrsl.com/1smav" target="_blank">Glitz Glitter Gels</a> on them. Gold, Sweet Mango, and the new Pumpkin Spice! I then popped them up on some cardboard box I tore about and then cut into twinchies. And then for the stenciled area I mixed the <a href="http://shrsl.com/1smb1" target="_blank">Pastillage Texture Paste</a>, sweet mango reinker and Pumpkin Spice Glitz Glitter Gel together to color it the color it looks! LOVE!! The leaves and the white panel are both cut from mat board to give it more thickness also. I went around the edges with a gold leaf pen also on the white parts. yes, I had fun!! :D<br />
<br />
And now up is <b>Wishing You Joy:</b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JwhbaxV-mkY/XXAGFPvbVgI/AAAAAAAAZvg/ch7e8Zl7uT4flwuSFXnsSmxx0H8UZhCgQCLcBGAs/s1600/poinsettiaonkraft1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="788" data-original-width="700" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JwhbaxV-mkY/XXAGFPvbVgI/AAAAAAAAZvg/ch7e8Zl7uT4flwuSFXnsSmxx0H8UZhCgQCLcBGAs/s400/poinsettiaonkraft1.jpg" width="355" /></a></div>
<b><br /></b>
Look at that fun poinsettia in this set! For mine, I stamped and heat embossed it with red glitter embossing powders and I did that 3 times so I could layer it like it is. I took some burlap ribbon and smeared the new Holiday Pine Glitz Glitter on it and let it dry and it stays perfectly! I then added the poinsettia and gold twine, stamped the sentiment in versamark ink and then heat embossed that with clear and tada! done! I think this is my favorite, maybe....haha!<br />
<br />
Ok, thats all from me today!<br />

This year Gina's set is called <b>Festive Flower.</b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Oh my!! It is that indeed! Here is what I have done with this big gorgeous poinsettia!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RdCn_Pgw5BM/XW_RbGX72qI/AAAAAAAAZuA/T4d6eGxdV-woZSvB-pFdv9_v42ZXx0JAwCLcBGAs/s1600/ssstamptember1gkd.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="666" data-original-width="650" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RdCn_Pgw5BM/XW_RbGX72qI/AAAAAAAAZuA/T4d6eGxdV-woZSvB-pFdv9_v42ZXx0JAwCLcBGAs/s400/ssstamptember1gkd.jpg" width="390" /></a></div>
<br />
I decided to leave it just white, but I heat embossed with gold glitter! I then also heat embossed the extra elements and did a BUNCH of fussing cutting cause I didnt have the dies atm,<br />
lol! But thats something I enjoy doing for some strange reason! I actually stamped the flower 3 times, and heat embossed and then cut out different sections of the flower to create the layers of it. Leaves and little stems of floral things I also cut out and layers around the flower along with some gold twine. The Merry Christmas is stamped and heat embossed with the gold glitter also on vellum. This is a 51/2 x 51/2 square card so Ill have to make a special envelope or do a hand deliver with this one, but it will be worth it to the person that receives it I think!<br />
<br />
Ok, thats all for this set from me today! Lots of my fellow GKD DT are also showcasing this set along with the SSS DT too. If you click to go to Simon Says Stamp and then click 'Collaboration of the Day' you will see Gina K. Designs for today!<br />

Here is my card for today:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nYSXbtCElHI/XUIza27l7dI/AAAAAAAAZnw/p8UJBY5uhZYtMC71O9G2cxjxL79cXTeBgCLcBGAs/s1600/thanksrainbowmelon.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="733" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nYSXbtCElHI/XUIza27l7dI/AAAAAAAAZnw/p8UJBY5uhZYtMC71O9G2cxjxL79cXTeBgCLcBGAs/s400/thanksrainbowmelon.jpg" width="326" /></a></div>
For this card I used those awesome new Neon inks and made the rainbow strip by masking off a section of the white cardstock. I also used the same colors in the watermelon slice. Now the little seeds, match the strawberry, but with a little ink wiping off you can make it fit to make a watermelon slice like this! Although nowadays, they have seedless watermelons but it just needed those black seeds that will grow in your belly if you swallow to make it look right! haha! (was anybody else told that as a kid when eating watermelon?!) SUPER easy card with alot of POP! And I also had to make this card:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Qrl78K0inbg/XUI0P8wujJI/AAAAAAAAZoA/cLQoDiUPDFQw2zSiZqAWxpJGN1961hWIQCLcBGAs/s1600/candyfruit1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="646" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Qrl78K0inbg/XUI0P8wujJI/AAAAAAAAZoA/cLQoDiUPDFQw2zSiZqAWxpJGN1961hWIQCLcBGAs/s400/candyfruit1.jpg" width="371" /></a></div>
Those slices just reminded me of the candy slices covered with sugar! I saw candy not fruit! (says the fat girl, haha!) I used <a href="http://shrsl.com/1qdsr" target="_blank">Glitz Glitter Gel in white</a> to create my 'sugar' These make me want to go get some lol!<br />
<br />
Ok, next up is the AWEsome Card kit, <a href="http://shrsl.com/1qdss" target="_blank">Pop-Art Flowers</a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-z7Xuq8n6EwA/XUI1-7BIGVI/AAAAAAAAZoM/4Itl0pAuyKY6yeAcsq_eteTqciWUFQ6fACLcBGAs/s1600/popartflowers.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="846" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-z7Xuq8n6EwA/XUI1-7BIGVI/AAAAAAAAZoM/4Itl0pAuyKY6yeAcsq_eteTqciWUFQ6fACLcBGAs/s400/popartflowers.jpg" width="352" /></a></div>

<br />
And here are my cards I created with this kit:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cJtIzgpIWr0/XUI2mORU0QI/AAAAAAAAZoU/UQq6r36UxZg9IlBL1Xl7GlpLSy4FE6T5QCLcBGAs/s1600/fourflowers1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="610" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cJtIzgpIWr0/XUI2mORU0QI/AAAAAAAAZoU/UQq6r36UxZg9IlBL1Xl7GlpLSy4FE6T5QCLcBGAs/s400/fourflowers1.jpg" width="392" /></a></div>
For this card I used the Neon inks, again (can you tell im loving them? LOL) and used the ink cube to make the little square shapes after spritzing the cardstock with some resist spray. I die cut the flowers and then just inked the edges with color. These look very 'pop-art-ish' to me, lol! Next one is combined with Melanie's Perfect pallet set:<br />
<br />
<br />
<b></b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NJ2kYzHa77s/XUI3gJbLJnI/AAAAAAAAZog/EX8SsbcOdQMmvjVt9yVhDbNRVOVQ2oG-QCLcBGAs/s1600/wrappedboard1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="749" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NJ2kYzHa77s/XUI3gJbLJnI/AAAAAAAAZog/EX8SsbcOdQMmvjVt9yVhDbNRVOVQ2oG-QCLcBGAs/s400/wrappedboard1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
The flowers are colored with prisma pencils. And I also flicked on some acrylic paint with a toothbrush, black and white acrylic paint. They are very small, and cant really see it too much in this picture. 'water droplets' are added here in there with <a href="http://shrsl.com/1qdte" target="_blank">Crystalline Drops. </a><br />
<br />
And one more, and I also used Melanie's Perfect Pallet set! <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6nFG_-inbp0/XUI6EK0wWcI/AAAAAAAAZos/cEJ5z16alNg-XXaW3ipMXvT-v_6HPLlOQCLcBGAs/s1600/framedthankyou.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="747" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6nFG_-inbp0/XUI6EK0wWcI/AAAAAAAAZos/cEJ5z16alNg-XXaW3ipMXvT-v_6HPLlOQCLcBGAs/s400/framedthankyou.jpg" width="321" /></a></div>
I used the pallet boards to create a frame then stamped and cut out the roses. Please ignore my choices of colors of inks i used on the roses, lol! after they dried, its like the color changes and I remembered afterwards that the distress oxide inks will do this after drying! BUT, I love how this turned out, kinda soft and rustic all at the same time, lol!<br />
<br />
next, I wanted to show you the brand new Incentive stamp set, <a href="http://shrsl.com/1qdu2" target="_blank">Layered Eucalyptus</a><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HF4TfD-nk70/XUI7NRWf63I/AAAAAAAAZo0/BjOJ4PuE5agw6khUAsev3IwMbbBskliQQCLcBGAs/s1600/layeredeucalyptus.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="308" data-original-width="253" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HF4TfD-nk70/XUI7NRWf63I/AAAAAAAAZo0/BjOJ4PuE5agw6khUAsev3IwMbbBskliQQCLcBGAs/s1600/layeredeucalyptus.jpg" /></a></div>
And my card:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-r3qF05W7mH8/XUI7ae5DecI/AAAAAAAAZo4/oAPiJWsgf_4PngyDuh9JPya7J6fY96CgwCLcBGAs/s1600/eculip1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="694" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-r3qF05W7mH8/XUI7ae5DecI/AAAAAAAAZo4/oAPiJWsgf_4PngyDuh9JPya7J6fY96CgwCLcBGAs/s400/eculip1.jpg" width="345" /></a></div>
I created the background using the stripes stencil that is in the new card kit and also did some paint splattering on this too. Used a die to create the angled edge and also the oval sentiment. LOVE this little incentive set!<br />
<br />
Ok, thats all from me for today! Up next on the blog hop is the Uberly talented<br />

<br />
So up first today Is Melanie's New set, <a href="http://shrsl.com/1qbja" target="_blank">Perfect Pallet</a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3ECMiaJX-nY/XUDodpe0TxI/AAAAAAAAZlo/L2qmOvJ1UCkWDr2YtSwLzu3ogakPjcRywCLcBGAs/s1600/perfectpallets.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="576" data-original-width="396" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3ECMiaJX-nY/XUDodpe0TxI/AAAAAAAAZlo/L2qmOvJ1UCkWDr2YtSwLzu3ogakPjcRywCLcBGAs/s400/perfectpallets.jpg" width="275" /></a></div>
And here is what I did with this card for today:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UINFPp8gj6I/XUHPPgKG-UI/AAAAAAAAZnQ/lGQM8tvUurQ4AO7iVK-rZFJUE4qENfgSgCLcBGAs/s1600/danglesign2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="690" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UINFPp8gj6I/XUHPPgKG-UI/AAAAAAAAZnQ/lGQM8tvUurQ4AO7iVK-rZFJUE4qENfgSgCLcBGAs/s400/danglesign2.jpg" width="347" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
I made a hanging sign like, or tired, lol! I roughed up the edges to make the wood look more 'real and then just used jump rings to attach each piece that I cut out. This was super quick card! I have so many ideas in my head for this set, lol! Not enough time in the day! Ive combined it with several other sets too, but will how the next set first, which issssssssss................<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Lisa Hetrick's new set, <a href="http://shrsl.com/1qbjj" target="_blank">Your Wings</a><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-b08QPBbFo_0/XUDppKUD9jI/AAAAAAAAZl4/hgPNg_cxFzwcEVixxM4NqrA_0qEHtc2eQCLcBGAs/s1600/yourwings.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="576" data-original-width="396" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-b08QPBbFo_0/XUDppKUD9jI/AAAAAAAAZl4/hgPNg_cxFzwcEVixxM4NqrA_0qEHtc2eQCLcBGAs/s400/yourwings.jpg" width="275" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
And here is a card I made with this:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iRIMAjwZeDw/XUDpzZboeOI/AAAAAAAAZmA/_-QOLzkgxVQhbADCodkzI0QhcU0geFecwCLcBGAs/s1600/beyourown.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="551" data-original-width="600" height="366" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iRIMAjwZeDw/XUDpzZboeOI/AAAAAAAAZmA/_-QOLzkgxVQhbADCodkzI0QhcU0geFecwCLcBGAs/s400/beyourown.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
For this card I used the leave elements to create the butterfly wings! how fun is that? Inks are the distress oxide inks and the new Gina K. Designs Amalgam ink <a href="http://shrsl.com/1qbjq" target="_blank">Obsidian </a>which is the blackest black i have ever used! I am so in love with it! That sentiment on vellum? stamped ONCE with it and then i poured clear embossing powder over it to heat set. LOVE! Most black look like translucent almost. Here is one I made with this set again:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IZY5JAH1BdY/XUDskFUlROI/AAAAAAAAZmk/ztTtt2bu3lMqB_e7FgwCkug97vWNleVrwCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_4167.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="495" data-original-width="600" height="328" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IZY5JAH1BdY/XUDskFUlROI/AAAAAAAAZmk/ztTtt2bu3lMqB_e7FgwCkug97vWNleVrwCLcBGAs/s400/IMG_4167.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
For this one, I watercolored on some papers, just throwing colors around is all I was doing and tehn after it dried I samped the butterfly. I cut it out and popped it up. I also made the background and used the new <a href="http://shrsl.com/1qbk4" target="_blank">Funky Flourish Stencil</a><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3Y9HeM9jGQQ/XUDtU7CyRyI/AAAAAAAAZms/tw19Bx6PKc8T8Mpbg0Pvk3uy9PBcnC51ACLcBGAs/s1600/funkyflourish.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="308" data-original-width="253" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3Y9HeM9jGQQ/XUDtU7CyRyI/AAAAAAAAZms/tw19Bx6PKc8T8Mpbg0Pvk3uy9PBcnC51ACLcBGAs/s1600/funkyflourish.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Ok, now here are a card that I have combined using these sets:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-d8HR-gsn5a4/XUDrHT-TK_I/AAAAAAAAZmQ/rCtK-eo5_LslLq0OvA_goTWxbaiUlja3ACLcBGAs/s1600/woodbutter1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="563" data-original-width="600" height="300" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-d8HR-gsn5a4/XUDrHT-TK_I/AAAAAAAAZmQ/rCtK-eo5_LslLq0OvA_goTWxbaiUlja3ACLcBGAs/s320/woodbutter1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
I used Picket Fence distress oxide ink to stamp the 'board' first then using gathered twigs oxide ink for the lines. I used the brown paper, like recycled paper to first stamp on. I LOVE how this turned out! Then the other inks are our brand spanking new <a href="http://shrsl.com/1qbjy" target="_blank">Neon Inks</a><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IolxbZhNVik/XUDr5alLi8I/AAAAAAAAZmY/orgWiB34Liwr0sgE4tGs7_tQxO6b42_zACLcBGAs/s1600/electropopneoninks.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="742" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IolxbZhNVik/XUDr5alLi8I/AAAAAAAAZmY/orgWiB34Liwr0sgE4tGs7_tQxO6b42_zACLcBGAs/s320/electropopneoninks.jpg" width="247" /></a></div>
<br />
These are available in set of 8 or individually in its regular size.<br />
<br />
Last but not lease by far we have Beth Saliaka's new set <a href="http://shrsl.com/1qcl7" target="_blank">Beautiful Balloons</a> and it has a little matching die! yay! :D <a href="http://shrsl.com/1qclf" target="_blank">Beautiful Balloons Die</a><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Most of my friends are at the 'over the hill' age so I made a card for that! black and silver and white! I heat embossed the balloons in silver and black so they would be all shiny like a real balloon. Added some staples for accents, you know, like us old ones need staples to hold us together sometimes, hahaha! And I also made a long skinny card! I showed this on our FB group. It fits in a business size envelope. Make them think they are getting a bill and surprise! its a beautiful card! haha!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I just sponged the clouds by using a cloud die cut ive had for ages, also the hills and grass and the little clouds were die cuts too. This is Billy's favorite!<br />

This first one is heat embossed in red glitter embossing powder and was inspired by the old timey 'red work' in embroidery that used to be WAY back in the day used alot. Well, my grandmother did awesome work with it and the florals reminded me of one I saw her do ages ago! I wish I had the piece! It was on a pillow case. These flowers are so gorgeous, you dont have to be one of the goddesses of coloring to make a wonderful creation with them! Here is another I did:<br />

Now this one is my favorite. I used watercolors and sparkly stuff to paint on some canvas paper. First I heat embossed the image with brass band embossing powder from Gina K. Designs and then did the water coloring. this is so sparkly and gorgeous IRL! And see, not colored very good! LOL! I know lots of my fellow DT will be sharing creations with you also, I have a blog roll of them over on the right, you can click on their names and it should take you to their blogs too!<br />
