Simple Stories Life In Bloom Collection

I know you love Simple Stories because they always have the freshest designs, with images perfect for capturing all the special memories of your life, so you can document moments captured or create new ones.

At first glance the Life in Bloom Collection is uniquely different from any of the other collections from Simple Stories because it includes one of my favorite colors… violet! When you look a little closer you’ll notice that this collection introduces new products not available previously.

This collection has three packs of paper that coordinate perfectly1including patterned paper in the Collection Kit, solids in the Basics pack, and ginghams in two sizes in the Gingham pack.

One of the new elements that has me drooling are the enamel dots. Take a closer look and you’ll see they are transparent and sparkle with glitter!

This collection also has three sets of different printed bits and pieces. One is loaded with sentiments and assorted images, the floral pack is garden fresh, and the ephemera pack includes tickets and pieces perfect for journaling.

I really love the colors that are fresh and dreamy. Paired with accent pieces in striking black the contrast is absolutely stunning!

Sentiments like “dream”, “one of a kind” and “beauty is in the everyday” are inspirational and remind us to enjoy the simple things and not take the “every day” for granted.

Explore the possibilities and celebrate the not so ordinary moments of your life with the Simple Stories Simple Vintage Life In Bloom Collection

You're So Tweet!

Today I'm playing along at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This time they're looking for Easter/Spring projects. I'm loving the new Pretty Pink Posh release so the timing is perfect!

These little cuties are from the Spring Chicks stamp set. They're absolutely adorable in their colorful shells and playing in the rain!

I thought a simple Distress Oxide background would be perfect for these guys so that there is as little distraction as possible!

I stamped the sentiments directly on the panel with Versafine Ink and then added all the images. If you look close, you'll see that I added some jewels for a little sparkle too!

It's so TWEET! Right? LOL! Have a great day!

Rainbow Birthday

Today I'm playing along at AAA Birthday Challenge where they're looking for birthday cards with stripes and / or dots.

I love stripes especially when they're in rainbow colors! And bright rainbow colors are perfect for BIRTHDAYS so yes! I'm in!

I created a rainbow stripe background using the Waffle Flower Diagonal Stripes die. I save all my paper scraps and they came in handy on this card. You could also cut a sheet of each color and mix them up for a whole bunch of cards.

I adhered a white skinny strip cut with the Twine and Bows die along the seam between each color. A tip that makes this much easier is to add double sided adhesive to your cardstock before you cut the skinny strips so you can just stick them in place vs. trying to glue them and making a mess.

I topped the panel with a glittery Oversized Happy die cut from glitter and white. I added a little subsentiment "birthday" to complete my message.

The finishing touch was to add some bows to the little strings to make this card look like a present!

I hope you're smiling! Have a great day!
