Stamp Set Focus with SSINK

 
Today is stamp set focus over at SSINK and the designers are putting their focus on Snuggles and Smooches stamp set.  This is such a fun a cute stamp set and holds a big pack of punch for creating a simple card to an all out decked out card.

 
I did some heat embossing with my project card.  I first stamped with versa mark the smaller circle design and covered it in white powder and heated it up.  I did this three times.  I then took my ink pads in wisteria wonder, sahara sand and crisp cantaloupe with my aqua painters and did some fun water coloring.  The "love" is just stamped in crisp cantaloupe on a white banner layer. 
 
Now its hard to see in the photo and I'm sorry, that I inked up my zig zag embossing folder with some vera mark ink and did some heat embossing again in just a small area for a subtle background.

Good morning! Today I'm here at SSINK and we are sharing fun Valentines Day cards, bags, tags and boxes.  Its fun to give candy treats, but its even better to receive them in fun decorated ways.

Floating Window Technique at SSINK

 
Good morning!  Today I'm over at Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration and its Technique Tuesday!  Today we are sharing projects created using the fun technique, "floating windows".  Make sure you click the link above to go see the how to video on how to create with this fun and simple technique.

 
I used one of the larger oval framelits to cut out my window shape, I then layered it with a clear window sheet cut down to size and stamped "congrats" on with black stazon to make it appear that it is floating along with the two stamped and punched out flowers.  On the inside I have two of the same flowers in the same spot glued down right under the outside flowers to help add a little inside decoration.
 
Supplies Used
Cardstock ~ whisper white, soft suede, calypso coral, crushed curry
DSP ~ best year ever (SAB item FREE with a $50 order)
Ink ~ black stazon, crushed curry, calypso coral
Stamp set ~ petal potpourri, simply wonderful (SAB item FREE with a $50 order)
Misc. ~ hodgepodge clips, twine
 
I hope you have enjoyed my take on the floating window technique.  Leave some "love" and head on over to our main blog to see what the other design team members have created!  Happy Stamping!

Bloom For You #SSINKCC18

 
Good Monday morning!  Today I'm over at Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration where we have an all new sketch challenge.  It is the first Monday of the month already so put on those thinking cups and go get creative.  I can't wait to see what you create with our sketch.

 
Today I am going super simple, but simple is good sometimes cause you can appreciate the details more.  I just love the striped scallop thinlit, its great for backgrounds.  I cut out one and cut it almost in half and placed on the lower part of my whisper white later.  I stamped my flower and again the center in tangelo twist and placed it on my card using stampin dimensionals.  I love how added just a few pearls at the top pulled it all together and added a little delicate bling.
 
Supplies Used
Cardstock ~ whisper white, coastal cabana
Ink ~ coastal cabana, tangelo twist
Stamp set ~ bloom for you, big day (SAB set free with any $50 order)
Misc. ~ black bakers twine, striped scallop thinlit, basic pearls
