My Old Stamping Grounds

Ahhh, February. The month of love. Whether you have a romantic partner in your life or not, it's truly important to love yourself. You matter.  This card with cutouts, embossing, a dimensional sticker and jewels will be something special for the receiver. I made it with the Princess of Everything , Large Flourish , You Matter and Pieces of Calligraphy stamps from Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda . Follow along with this pictorial to see how I made it: The Lost Coast Portal to Creativity is hosting a February "Love and Hearts" Challenge. Join in the fun and submit your LOVE-ly creation for your chance to win a prize. 

My favorite season is FINALLY here! Hands down, Autumn is the best time of year. Cooler temperatures, colorful leaves, and pumpkin everything. Pumpkin decor, pumpkin-spiced foods--I can't get enough of it! I based the card design around this sentiment sticker that reads "Oh My Gourd, Happy Fall." I created a background using the Large Flourish stamp which I then cut into 1x2-inch and 2-inch squares as part of the September Challenge hosted by Lost Coast Designs . Follow along to see how I made this card: You'll need to work quickly if you're hoping to make today's September 30 deadline for this month's Challenge on the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity . Get crackin' and maybe you'll win the prize. You got this!

Who remembers those fluttery feelings when the person we have a crush on shows interest in us? I'm lucky enough to still feel butterflies when my husband catches my eye from across the room. This card is in honor of that! The Lost Coast Portal to Creativity is hosting a June challenge with a choice of two color schemes: Lemon/Lime and Turquoise/Terra Cotta. I used the Large Flourish stamp from Lost Coast Designs and the Butterfly Reminder sentiment from Carmen's Veranda . Follow along with this photo tuturial see how I put it together: You have until the end of June to submit a stamped entry using the two color themes for this month's challenge. Have fun! And happy stamping.
