Plumeria for Mother - Kitchen Sink Stamps

With Mother's Day just around the corner on May 8, I am sharing this card created for my mother as my Kitchen Sink Stamps sponsored design. I often mix lots of stamps together to create my KSS cards, but this design uses on two sets: Plumeria and Bold Holiday Greetings.

The blossoms and leaves were cut with my Cricut Joy using the SVG Cut File which is available for free from KSS when added to your cart at the time you purchase the Plumeria set. The layered stamping was then added to the cut outs.

The background was blended with Squeezed Lemonade and Dried Marigold Distress Oxide by Ranger. I then splattered it with water, dried it, and then splattered it again with liquid gold.

This card has been entered in the following challenges this week:

Sunday Stamps - SSC281 - Sweet Pastels

St. Patrick's Day - CCEE2210

Today is St Patrick’s Day. Frances asked the CCEE Stampers to create a card that features either leprechauns or gnomes. I couldn't find either in my stash so I went with a teddy bear with a leprechaun hat!

 You can find the cards by the CCEE Design Team on the CCEE Blog and join in the challenge!!

CCEE2142 - Number It

October CCEE Hostess, Frances Byrne, has asked the CCEE Stampers to "Number It!" She asked that we include a number or numbers on our creations this week. She said we could make an aged birthday card; use number themed designer paper or number themed embossing folders or dies. Frances says that anything goes as long as there is a number somewhere!

I used the following sets from Kitchen Sink Stamps to create this Veterans Day design.

Stars & Stripes American Flag

Remembrance Poppy

Bold Holiday Greetings

     The date was created with the We R Memory Keepers Word Punch.

Check below to see how the CCEE DT worked numbers into their cards!

SCS Free 4 All and Inspiration

Here are a couple of cards I created for challenges at Splitcoaststampers this week.

This first one was for the Free 4 All Challenge which required heat embossing. I embossed the word Easter in the sentiment and popped it up on dimensionals. This sentiment is from Bold Holiday Greetings which was released by Kitchen Sink Stamps just this past Monday. Other KSS sets used are All Year Grapevine Wreath and Hey, Chick!

This second card was inspired by art painted on birds feathers found on Design Stack. It features Minnesota Loon which is no longer available at KSS. I stamped the water using Cabin by the Lake and the clouds were created using the SVG cut file Cloudy Skies and white acrylic paint. The feather was cut using Cricut Design Space and the Aspin Tree Stencil is from The Crafters Workshop.

Thanks for visiting today!!
