Stamp-n-Storage

Hey all, I have recently become an affiliate for Stamp-n-Storage. I've watched their products for years and bought the blends holder several years back. After getting moved and working on my new room, I invested in several stamp pad holders and another marker holder. LOVE the stamp pad holders!! Pictures soon! Every time I think about taking pictures, the desk is too much a mess :)

But, they are having a sale for Valentines! If you haven't seen their products, use my link to take a look!

Lavender Element Birthday

Hey all, long time no see! I've been doing other things, like getting started on taxes and working on organization in the stamp room! Good news, progress has been made, and I really feel like I can sit down and start creating! Stamps still need work, but other things are in GREAT shape!!

I went down Friday afternoon and came out with several things complete! Here is one. I've been itching to give this new stamp set try! Elements of Text is a new online exclusive set and recently came into my possession! I paired it with Painted Lavender and a birthday saying from a retired set, Endless Birthday Wishes.

Card base is Gorgeous Grape with a Crumb Cake accent layer behind Very Vanilla. On the Vanilla, I stamped the circle text image in Crumb Cake, then stamped over in Gorgeous Grape for the flowers and Old Olive for the stems. I roughed the edges of both the Very Vanilla and Crumb Cake with a (retired) distressing tool then went over both with a sponge and Crumb Cake ink. I stamped the happy birthday off to the left side in Gorgeous Grape and added a knotted linen ribbon at the top of the stamp. Final accent, Antique Pearls. Love it!

Simple Daisy Birthday

Hey all! Another Birthday card! There is a new LARGE Happy Birthday stamp in the Mini Catalog - Simple Birthday! Love it! Remember the Thank You I did a while back? Similar stamp! My first thought was to use on DSP, but I gave it a whirl on just cardstock first! Here it is!

In my large stash of stuff, I found some colored embossing powder, one being Melon Mambo. So, I grabbed that and my Versamark pad and embossed the Happy Birthday on Basic White. I then grabbed Cheerful Daisies and using the smaller daisy in the set I stamped daisies around the embossed happy birthday. I alternated Daffodil Delight and Coastal Cabana. I added Melon Mambo centers, and some have an Enamel Dot (retired) in Melon Mambo. Be a little careful where the ink goes over the embossing - it may smear or transfer to where you don't want it! I tried to dab at it carefully with a paper towel to prevent that!

Thanks all for stopping by today! It is tax season and my to do list is quite long so posts may slow but I hope to pop in fairly regularly!! I do need to keep making birthday cards to keep up with my list :)

Inked & Tiled Birthday

Howdy all, Happy Friday! Still mixed up on days over here! Haven't been anywhere since last Saturday right before the storm rolled in. But the Christmas tree is finally down! Just a few more things to box and put away. We also fired all the snowmen :) We've had enough!!

Here are a couple birthday cards that I made quick yesterday. Had an idea in my head and it came out perfect! These could be done is so many colors! And likely with quite a few different stamp sets!

 

Aren't these fun? and pretty quick and easy as well! The stamps used are all from the retired Inked & Tiled set. Just grab 3 colors you like together and go! The top one is Highland Heather, Lemon Lime Twist and Lemon Lolly with a Highland Heather base. The accent flower, birthday saying and accent layer are Early Espresso. The bottom one is Peach Pie, Lemon Lime Twist and Pool Party with a Peach Pie base. Same Early Espresso accents. Small White ribbon bow for accent.

There will be more of these in my future! I just went through all my old ink pads and redid how I store them on my desk, so they are now accessible. And I sorted the cardstock too, so I know what I have to work with! Next time I go rummaging for stamps I'll be looking for more that work with this!!

I just took a flip through the current catalog, and Spotlight on Nature would work for this very well! You could do the "lines" with the small texture stamp, or use a clear block, shape stamp or Painter's tape. See this post for a painters tape card-it is what originally inspired this idea! I realized the line stamp in this set could replace the tape! 

Thanks for stopping by! Hopefully back soon! Product details and store links below!
