May Guest Designer - Amy Tsuruta Final Day

Happy Saturday!  I hope your weekend is off to a fantastic start.  I'm excited for a few reasons:

1) Today I'm sharing the last of Amy's fun designs

2) Next week, we'll be sharing sneak peeks of our new June Collection 

3) Tomorrow I head to NYC to hang out with my eldest daughter for a couple of days.  She is coming back to North Carolina for a week before we go on a fun girls trip to Europe. LOVE hanging out with my girls!

Enough rambling... let's get on with the show! 

Today, I've got two beautiful floral cards to share. This first card is such a clever idea and combines two of my favorite things - flowers and coffee!  Amy stamped and die cut one of the flowers from the Vintage Floral stamp set and paired it with the to go cup from the Mocha Me Happy stamp set.  The subtle details like the glitter heart, kraft paper coffee sleeve and the shadow under the cup really make this card.   

T

This next card is simple and sweet!  The sentiments from the new You Are My Sunshine stamp set can be paired with so many different images.  Amy paired the Today is Your day stamp with the flower vase from the Crazy Friends stamp set. Pretty!

Have a fabulous weekend!  I'll be back on Monday to share sneak peeks from our June Collection.  We're doing our release a bit early this month because of the upcoming holiday weekend.  Be sure to stop back as we will have exciting sneak peeks and GIVEAWAYS!  Woohoo!

See you Monday!

May Guest Designer - Amy Tsuruta Day 5

Happy Thursday!  I'm excited to share a few more of Amy Tsuruta's designs.  These cards feature our Vintage Floral stamp set and are simply beautiful!

 

For this first card, Amy created a watercolor background.  A Muse Studio Splash! inks are awesome for making quick and beautiful watercolor backgrounds!  The white embossing looks soft and pretty over the background.  

Here's another great embossed flower.  This time Amy embossed directly on the card front for a simple one layer card.  I love how she added the hello right over the flower.  Stunning!

 

The Vintage Floral stamp set is the perfect stamp set for many occasions!  Look at all these great sentiments!

Don't forget!  We're offering FREE SHIPPING on orders over $30 for the rest of the month. Happy shopping!

I've got one more installment of Amy's cards to share on Saturday so be sure to stop back.

Have a crafty day!

 

May Guest Designer - Melissa Roell Day 5

Today is the final post of Melissa's wonderful creations for May.  Please be sure to show her some LOVE by posting a comment below.  I know I have loved sharing Melissa's designs with you.  Her blog is filled with inspiring ideas so be sure to add her to your must read list!

Melissa's first card today is a versatile design that could suit many occasions by simply swapping out the sentiment.   Melissa used one of the Stitched Circle Window dies to cut a window in the card.  She then stamped Big Birthday Wishes from the Birthday Girl stamp set in the window.  The pretty floral border was created using a mix of floral images from the Mini Blooms and Love and Thanks stamp sets.

I love how Melissa added Pearl and Twinkle stickers to the center of the flowers.  Perfection!

 

This next card also features the Stitched Circle Windows die set and is another versatile card design.  Simply use the Label Maker stamp set to change the sentiment to match your need.

To create the circular "frame" on this card, Melissa used a combination of the Stitched Circle Windows dies and a Stitched Circle.  I will definitely be borrowing this idea!  

The floral vase is from the Crazy Friends stamp set... one of my favorites!

A HUGE thanks to Melissa Roell for sharing her talent with us this month!  Please leave a comment here to let Melissa know you appreciated seeing her work.

May Guest Designer - Melissa Roell Day 4

Happy Mother's Day to all the beautiful mothers and grandmothers!  We hope you have a very special day.

Here's a little crafty inspiration for you from one of our wonderful Guest Designers, Melissa Roell.  

Today, Melissa's cards feature the sweet bear from the Time To Party stamp set.  This first card is a fun shaker card make with our new Stitched Circle Windows die set.  This die set is perfect for shaker cards... and so much more!  

 

Melissa use our 4mm Navy sequin mix to fill the shaker.  So fun!

This bear is ready to party!  Melissa used the scalloped frame from the Gift Card Envelope die set to make a frame for the bear.  I *love* the Latte Vintage cardstock in the center as a soft background and the party hat is the perfect finishing touch!  

Please be sure to visit Melissa's blog for more creative inspiration.

I hope you have a wonderful day!
