LILY OF THE VALLEY SEASON

Hello everyone!!! 

I'm pretty partial to the lily of the valley flower.  They have such a sweet fragrence and I adore the tiny bell shaped flowers.  They are also my birth month flower.  So I was thrilled when I saw this stamp "Lily of the Valley Background" from Mitten State Stamps in the April 2019 release collection.  

I paired it with a sentiment from "French Sentiments  Set of 4" (another favorite set of mine).  

Thank you for stopping by.  I hope you found some inspiration.   If you'd like to add these the stamps I've used here to your collection, I can offer a 10% discount.  Just use my personal discount code TJ10CHERI.  

Have a great week!  

APRIL 2019 TIC, TAC, TOE CHALLENGE AT THE HOUSE THAT STAMPS BUILT

Hello House friends!!!! 

It's a Tic, Tac, Toe Wednesday and a new challenge at The House That Stamps Built.  

For this card I used Repeat Impressions Stamps #2610-J "Jump For Joy", #1507-J "Grass Border" and #1306-G "Here Comes ".

After sponging the edge of the card stock panel, I stamped the grass border across the edge.  The rabbit was stamped in Gray Flannel Memento dye ink.  I wish it had been a better image result, but I didn't want to start over or restamp it so I went with what I had.  

The sentiment was stamped on a scrap with VersaMark and heat embossed in white ep.  After attaching the floral and pastel wash tape, the entire panel was die cut with a scalloped die.  I added an assortment of bubbles with some Viva Pearl Pens I have for a little fun detail.

My tic, tac, toe path was horizontally across the top, Easter, Washi Tape and Pastel Colors.  

Come on over and play along with us at The House and show us what you can do with this challenge board.  

If you need more inspiration, you will love to see what my Rock Star team mates have to show you.

FIESTA, FIESTA, FIESTA

Hello everyone!!!! 

Spring isn't here in our part of Maine yet...yesterday we got 8 inches of snow and there's more coming today!!!!  Whatever!!!!!  

In spite of the snow, I'm creating a feista card using the new companion stamps from Technique Junkies Stamps.  Fiesta and Hot Peppers.  

These stamps and all other stamps are available to you with a 10% discount, if you'd like to take advantage of it.  Simply use my personal code TJ10CHERI at discount.  

I created this card by first stamping Hot Peppers in VersaMark ink and heat embossing with gold ep.  I then used my PolyChromo pencils to color them.  The sentiment was stamped the same, then cut with an older Spellbinder die, mounted on a brushed cold layer and adhered over the hot peppers panel. 

Have a great day and week.  Thanks for stopping by.  

APRIL 2019 DESIGNER'S CHOICE CHALLENGE AT THE HOUSE THAT STAMPS BUILT

Hello House friends!!! 

Here we are at the first Wednesday of a new month!!!! Yay!!! Spring is really ahead of us.  Today we're having a designer's choice challenge at The House That Stamps Built and it's Laurie's turn to challenge us.  She's chosen "use a stencil".  

Today is our grandson's 12th birthday and this card is for him.  

I used RI#9302-P "Cupcakes" from the "Pairings" set, RI#3915-F "Got Cake?" and RI#3404-C "Random Dots" .  I fussy cut out the cupcake and put a little wobble on it so it would be an interactive card.  I sponged some light blue dye ink through a circle stencil.  This was such a fun card to create.  I think he'll like it.    

Thanks for stopping by today!  Come on over and join Laurie's challenge.  All the details can be found at The House.  

For more stencil inspiration, check out the blogs of my super talented team mates.

I'm so in love with this new stamp "Dahlias" from the April 2019 release.  I colored it with my Chameleon ColorTone Pencils after stamping it in a soft gray colored dye ink.  The sentiment is a masked portion of a stamp from the "How Blessed I Am Set of 8" .
