3M: June: Studio Katia

                                                               

    Hi friends!

Today I'm sharing my card for the 3M.

The 3 Musketeers is a card group of Jeanette, Barb and I who

stamp a mystery image, send it to each other 

(Angel Policies apply, so please check those!)

and then we make a card based on that ONE image.

This month, Barb sent us this floral from Studio Katia

called Floursing Note.

 I paired it with matching floral papers from Whimsy Stamps

and added the die cut hello that Barb sent!

You can see Barb's card here

and Jeanette's card here.

Simon Says Stamp - Release Day "Always There"

 

Hello friends!

It's release day at Simon Says Stamp!

The new release called Always There, 

a delightful collection of florals and cheerful sets

 and we have crafty inspiration to share with you!

Today I'm sharing a summery card using Keep Palm

and it's such a beautiful reminder of the tropics!

Thank you SSS for sending me this to work with!

For this card, I kept it one layer and stamped directly

onto a sunset horizon painted background.

The large floral stamp allow room for a sentiment

to go right into the center or

 you can mix it up with the palms!

I added a belly band made with vellum stamped with the sentiment

from the set using SSS white embossing powder.

Be sure to check out the full release here!

Happy Shopping!

3M May ~ Special Delivery!

 Hi friends!

Whew!

Almost didn't make the May 3M + I'm dashing to the fnish line!

(as a marathon runner, insert pun here! 🠉 )

This is the card you would normally have seen on the 9th of the month,

but in addition to traveling, a vacation and losing the stamp 

somewhere in my craftroom, I'm late to my own party!

:)~

What's the 3M?

The 3 Musketeers is a card group of Jeanette, Barb and I who

stamp a mystery image, send it to each other 

(Angel Policies apply, so please check those!)

and then we make a card based on that ONE image.

For May, I chose chose a Crafty Meraki stamp called Special Delivery

and this company has since closed.

I did a hybrid style mixed media card with several elements:

mixing 2 different inks I wouldn't have paired together normally,

added some mixed gold splatter and rice paper tucked behind.

Please head over to Jeanette's blog and Barb's blog

to see what they have created with this same image ~

you'll be in for a treat!

Thanks for stopping by!

Hi friends!

Today I'm sharing a fun tag

with bright cheerful colors.

Our Instagram FANS of Simon Says Stamp

card group has a monthly theme of Anything Goes.

And I'm getting a head start on my tags!

I used Celestial Wishes from Simon Says Stamp, 

purchased for the dragonfly in the set :)

I love the vibrant colors and dimension!
