One for Mom

Posted on May 4, 2013 by amyoneillblog

Yesterday, I had a Father’s Day card. So I figured, it should be Mom’s turn today, right? Especially since Mother’s Day is right around the corner.

To make the flower, I just used circle punches and then cut little notches out of the circles with my paper snips. Pretty easy! The fun dsp is from the new Gingham Garden dsp, which will be released with the new catalog on May 31.

Enjoy your Saturday! Thanks for stopping by!

Supplies Used:
Stamps: Teeny Tiny Wishes
Ink: Melon Mambo
Paper: Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight, Gingham Garden dsp (available May 31)
Embellishments: 1-3/4″, 1-1/4″, and 1″ Circle Punches, Brights Designer buttons, Island Indigo Baker’s Twine

A Clockworks Father’s Day Card

Posted on May 3, 2013 by amyoneillblog

I always struggle with Father’s Day cards (really, I struggle with manly cards in general). I decided to pull out my Clockworks stamp set (which hasn’t seen much ink) and play.

One of the things I love about this stamp set is that you can’t really mess up. It’s just messy and fun.

Enjoy your Friday! Thanks for stopping by!

Stamps: Clockworks, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Ink: Pool Party, Pumpkin Pie, Basic Gray, Gumball Green, Midnight Muse
Paper: Midnight Muse, Whisper White, Pool Party

More Photopolymer Stamps!

Posted on May 2, 2013 by amyoneillblog

Stampin’ Up is releasing two more photopolymer stamp sets. Show & Tell 1 (#133450) and Show & Tell 2 (#133481). They were both inspired by fashion and by chevron, arrow, and geometric shape trends that coordinate with one another beautifully.

These sets are so trendy and will be so fun with which to build images.

To go with these fun sets, the downloadable PDF, Seeing the Possibilities Online Class (#134532), stages 15 projects using both of the Show & Tell Stamp Sets. The online class features a collection of enjoyable ideas showcasing topics such as backgrounds, building, layering, versatility, gift-giving, and memory keeping inspiration! You can also bundle (#134533) this class with both of the Show & Tell Stamp Sets and save 15 percent! How fun is that?

You can always order these items from my on-line store. Enjoy your Thursday! Thanks for stopping by!

Mosaic Sneak Peek 2 — FMS84

Posted on May 1, 2013 by amyoneillblog

Take a look at the great sketch that Linda Suarez has for us at Freshly Made Sketches this week:

When I first saw this sketch, I thought it would be great for a masculine card (and I never have enough of those). And since I still had my new Mosaic Madness set sitting on my desk from yesterday, I decided to use it again.

On yesterday’s card I used the coordinating embossing folder and punch. On this card I used the coordinating dsp. It has great patterns and fun, bright colors. It also includes two printed window sheets. That is what I used on top of the white flag.

Enjoy your Wednesday! I hope you have time to go check out what the other designers did with the sketch, and to play along with us this week at Freshly Made Sketches. Thanks for stopping by!
