just breathe

This card was fun & easy to make! There’s a lot going on in my life right now and I needed something to help make me feel grounded. American Crafts ANYTHING is that thing which grounds me. I can always turn to anything AC and feel inspired. It’s also my fail safe brand that just makes me feel like I’m in my zone! Do you have a brand that makes you feel that way?

Kraft Cardstock is also something that I turn to time and time again Oh, and that cherry shade of red from American Crafts….MY FAVE

Anyways, don’t forget…”just breathe”…

• Schlosser Designs Stamps Outside The Box

Pears hello

Hi there! Today, I decided to bring you all a very Clean and Graphic card. I used two pear stamps from Schlosser’s Designs Stamps, Furnishing Fun, to crate my own background paper. I went with a graphic consistent design, but you could surely random stamp and use generational stamping if you’re creating your own! I stamped a whole sheet of white cardstock, so that I can have some for other projects or matching cards.

Materials:

• Schlosser Designs Stamps, Furnishing Fun
• CTMH Ink, Sweet Leaf and Desert Sand
• Clear & Simple Stamps white cardstock
• Gina K. Kraft cardstock
• American Crafts Thickers
• Fiskars Apron Lace punch
• EK Success Corner Rounder
