KSS - Mother's Day - 2018

I had a lot of fun creating this Kitchen Sink Stamps sponsored Mother's Day card for today. I repurposed  a couple of KSS images to turn them into objects I needed to create this feminine dresser- top still life.

I used part of the watch fob from Father's Pocket Watch Multi Step Clear Stamps to create a chain for a necklace. Then I went in search of a loop to create a closure for the necklace. I found it in one of the rings from Wedding Rings Multi Step Clear Stamps. The rosebuds are, of course, from Heart & Roses Multi Step Clear Stamps.  The brooch is from Mother's Cameo Multi Step Clear Stamps. The sentiment is a part of Whole Family Clear Stamps.

After masking the brooch, I added the two rosebuds. I think my mother will like it!

KSS 10 Minute Design #96

If the truth be told, one layer cards are more than likely my favorite cards to make. They are so quick and easy to design as well as less expensive to make and mail. Kitchen Sink Stamps' 10 Minute Design this week is a one layer card with one rounded corner at the top for interest and a long sentiment across the bottom of the card to ground the image.

Ruched Ribbon - KSS 10 Minute Card #79

Thanks so much for stopping by to check out this week's Kitchen Sink Stamps' 10 minute design. Before I jump into it, I wanted to let you know that next Monday, Kitchen Sink Stamps will be releasing 3 new stamp sets. Look for some sneak peeks to begin popping up toward the end of the week with the full reveal on Monday, July 9.

For this week's Kitchen Sink Stamps 10 minute card design, I had fun playing with ruched ribbon. I just slapped Scor Tape on the back of my grosgrain ribbon and bunched it up any which way across the card front. One great thing about using this method to attach ribbon is that it fits smoothly into an envelope and does not require extra postage! In the Kitchen Sink Gallery the keyword for this week's design is 10MC79.

KSS Ten Minute Challenge - Partial Framing

For this week's ten minute card, I created a partial frame for my Kitchen Sink images. I used my oval Nestabilities for my frames, but any shape would do. To add additional interest to the design, I embossed the colored frame and allowed the sentiment to spill out of the frame on the card front. Each of this week's cards features one of the newest KSS sets which were released last week.

4 New KSS Sets and 10 Minute Challenge #69

Before we get to this week's KSS 10 Minute Design, I want to share some of the beautiful images being released today at Kitchen Sink Stamps. It was a real luxury for me to spend time playing with these gorgeous designs and to create a card or two that didn't take 10 minutes.

In addition to new stamps, Maria is also unveiling her new Rewards Program.

               Buy 10 stamps of one size, get the 11th of the same size FREE.                     
         Check out all the details by clicking the Rewards tab in the Kitchen Sink Store! 

My first design today was created with Multi Step Mother's Cameo. This set is so perfect for beautiful and elegant Mother's Day cards. I paired it with some embroidered French lace and a sentiment from Whole Family.

This first 10 minute card was created with one of the humming birds from the final set being released today. This redesigned humming bird is much easier to layer and stamp than the one in the Year of  Thanks set. If you loved that bird, but couldn't master it, this set is for you!
