I am so excited to share the new StampTV kit, Petals & Wings! It is FULL of cute stamps and lots of flowers!! Of course I chose to make a PINK card with it! There is a great rectangular background stamp in this kit that was just begging to have flowers stamped on top of it. And of course lots of ribbon and sparkle too!
Now I also have cards from yesterday’s hop to share as well. Theresa Momber has yet again created a gorgeous set of wildlife images, Wild About You. I chose to go with earthy colors and a very simple layout. The image here is so detailed, you can just stamp it alone!
And lastly I have an adorable set from Rupa Shevda, Blooming With Blessings. I was dying to use a little liquid applique on the bunny’s puffy tail. This was paper pieced and then I used the liquid applique to puff his little tail!
Check out all the amazing designs and inspiration:
Enjoy!

My first card for today will be using Melanie Muenchinger‘s newest set, Wild Flowers. Y’all know how I love my flower stamps! I adore the sentiments in this set and I really wanted to do something CAS to show them off. When I first saw this set, I knew I wanted to try stamping it in white – so here’s my CAS card with white flowers!
Next up I have something using one of my favorite sets from this release, Masculine Tags by Tami Mayberry. I am not the best at making manly cards (notice my above comment about loving flower stamps….) so I was delighted to see a good ‘manly’ set. And, best of all, it is not about fish, nature, golf, etc. My husband doesn’t really do any of those things, so I was glad to have a ‘manly’ set to use for him! I dug up so older Cosmo Cricket papers (I think that is who these are, they are pretty old!) and picked out some manlier colors. I do not have the Spellbinders dies for these yet, so I just cut it out using my smaller paper scissors. A bit of creative layering using various dies and that’s about it!

Hello! For the final day of the Inspiration Blog Hop, I have the newest Buy 3 Get 1 FREE set to share with you! I always love the little sets Gina comes up with for the freebies, and Fresh Start is no exception! And adorable spring set that has the cutest sentiments!
I sneak peeked this card for the Invitation Hop, and now you can see all of it! I used markers to ink up the image and then dug up some old October Afternoon papers to make a bright, spring card!
Be sure to stop by the other Design Team blogs to see their fabulous creations!

Hello! Today I have two more great sets to share! Whimsical Spring by Theresa Momber and Girl Talk by Tami Mayberry. As usual, Theresa has illustrated some gorgeous nature images. And Tami has adorable sentiments to use in her set, the one I chose to use just cracks me up!
For Whimsical Spring, I started coloring some butterflies with my Copics. Then while flipping through my paper stash, I found this sheet that was just perfect for the sentiment I wanted to use. I decided to use just one of the butterflies I had colored an pop it up as an accent to the sentiment. I really like the cute square card – and this on turned out just right! I curled the edges of the butterfly just a bit to give it dimension – I love the simplicity here!
As soon as I saw Girl Talk, I knew I had to use this sentiment! It just cracks me up! I didn’t have any papers that had chocolate on them, but this older Basic Grey pad with cupcakes works for me!
Be sure to stop by the other Design Team blogs to see their fabulous creations!

I hope that you were all able to stop by the Release Party at StampTV last night. It was a fun, chatty time! Today I have two great stamp sets to share with you.
First up is a new set from illustrator Rupa Shevda: Mehndi Wishes
I chose to go with the henna tattoo look by using some damask paper in a dark brown on cream color scheme. Then added just a tiny pop of color for an accent. This is a gorgeous set that can be used with the images colored in or left alone!
Next I have the 3rd edition of Melanie Muenchinger’s Stately Flowers. Stately Flowers 3 features Mississippi, Montana, Alaska and Louisiana. Gorgeous flowers ready to be colored! I used Copic markers on mine.
Be sure to stop by the other Design Team blogs to see their fabulous creations!
