Hello, Stampers
It’s a quiet day in the Myren household and my husband is loving it. He’s loving it because I’m on voice rest for 6 weeks! Some of you know that I’m a music teacher by day. The wear and tear on my voice have resulted in two vocal fold surgeries and a myriad of other problems. So what am I doing to express myself? Why stamping of course!
The card I have for you today is for the Pals Paper Arts weekly challenge. This week’s challenge is a color one. Here it is:
I am in love with this color combo! I used these colors along with three stamp sets to make a wedding card. Here’s where my brain took me:
Along with the three ink colors, I also used three stamp sets. I often use stamps from one or two sets to complete my projects.
The flower and leaves are stamped with the set What I Love which is in the 2016 Sale-A-Bration Brochure. I love the look of three step stamping and I was able to use all three challenge colors in this sweet flower.
The lace stamped in Pink Pirouette, is from the set Grateful Bunch. I bought the set just so I could have this lace stamp! The rest of the set is great too! There’s even a new punch for the hip flowers! You can find this set in the 2016 Occasions Catalog.
The sentiment is from Rose Wonder, also in the Occasions Catalog.
This set has wonderful sentiments and the rose is AMAZING! This set will be on my shelf for a long time.
That’s it for today!
Happy stamping!

Hello, Stampers!
The card I have for you today is for the Freshly Made Sketches weekly challenge. Here is the sketch:
It’s wide open to lots of interpretations. Normally, I shy away from this kind of sketch. I usually like more details for inspiration. But today, I think it worked for me. You’ll have to tell me what you think!
Here’s my card:
The stamp set I used is from the Stampin’ Up! Sale-A-Bration Brochure. It’s call Flowering Fields. It can be yours for free when you make a $50 purchase!

Hello, Stampers!
The card for today’s post is one that will be used for my Cards for Guys class. It also works for the Global Design Project Challenge for this week. The challenge is to CASE Connie Collin’s card. Here’s a picture of her cute card:
And here’s how I CASEd it:
Obviously, I chose not to make a Valentine’s Day card. I have most of mine done. However, there are several details on my card that mimic Connie’s.
- Horizontal stripes. My designer series paper suggests stripes with the birch tree design.
- Baker’s Twine. I copied Connie’s placement of her Baker’s Twine exactly.
- Main image. I don’t have a heart as my main image, but I have placed the cute little fox in. the same place as Connie’s heart.
- Candy Dots. I sprinkled a few Candy Dots on my card to give it some color. The Dots take the place of Connie’s hearts.
Did Connie’s card spark an idea for you? If so, hop over and play along.
Happy stamping!

Hello, Stampers!
I spent the last couple of days digging my way out of 32 inches of snow! It was so nice to finally find my way back to my studio to make this card for the Paper Players Challenge. Here’s this week’s sketch:
And here is my card:
I stamped the dotted image in the Timeless Textures Stamp Set with Versamark onto my black cardstock. I then embossed it with clear embossing powder to give it shine. The designer series paper strip is from the Going Places Designer Series Paper Stack. The Lost Lagoon strip is embossed using the Zig Zag Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. This folder is on sale this week as part of the Weekly Deals! I stamped the compass from the Going Global Stamp Set in Mossy Meadow. The sentiment from the same stamp set is colored with Basic Black, Delightful Dijon, and Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Write Markers.
I’m going to give this card to my hubby to thank him for all the things he does to make our household run. He spoils me rotten and I quite like it!
Happy stamping!

Hello Stampers!:
Today’s card is a Valentine’s Day card using yesterday’s sketch for Mojo Monday. I love making cards and treats for my family and friends.
Here’s the sketch:
And here’s what I did with it:
Isn’t it sweet?
- The striped paper is from the Birthday Bouquet Designer Series Paper Pack found in the Occasions Catalog. I seriously love every piece of paper in this pack! It’s soooo pretty!
- The 2 hearts were cut using my Heart Framelets. The swirly heart is from the Perfectly Artistic Designer Series Paper Pack. This is a freebie from the Sale-A-Bration brochure. It can be yours with a $50 purchase. It’s only going to be around until February 15 so don’t delay in ordering it.
- The bling is sequins from the Blushing Bride Sequin Trim found in the Annual Catalog. I put tiny pearls on top of them to cover the holes.
I hope I inspired you to start your Valentine’s Day cards!
Happy Stamping!

Hello Stampers!
My card today is for the FMS219 Sketch Challenge. Here’s a picture of the sketch:
And here is what I did with it:
I love Pacific Point for children’s cards. It’s such a happy color.
The background paper is watercolor paper that has been VersaMarked with a brayer. I then embossed it using clear embossing powder. Next, I used an Aquabrush to brush Pacific Point ink over the entire piece. Finally, I let it dry and then cut it to size.
The stamps are from a Sale-A-Bration set aptly named Hello. This set is only available until February 15th so don’t wait to long to order it. It’s free with a $50 order.
