You’re the Cat’s Meow Valentine Card

Posted on January 29, 2019 by Genevieve Valdes

I have mad love for the Nine Lives stamp set and Cat punch.  The Nine Lives stamp set is from the Stampin’ Up 2019 Occasions catalog and it coordinates with the Cat punch .  I was inspired by the Hand Stamped Sentiments Inspiration Challenge and my Bengal cat Rocco to create a Valentine’s Day card.

I stamped the wood background with Blushing Bride then added retired Real Red Mixed ribbon then adhered to the Real Red layer.  The cat was stamped on Crumb Cake then the markings were stamped in Early Espresso.  I used dimensionsl to adhere the cat.  The sentiment is framed and adhered with dimensionals  I finished the card with stamping hearts then embelleshed with basic rhinestones.

Valentine’s day is right around the corner.  This card would be so easy to duplicate quickly and send to family and friends for Valentine’s day.  Who wouldn’t love to get this card in the mail?!

A Lasting Lily With Sympathy

Posted on January 15, 2019 by Genevieve Valdes

Sale-a-bration is here and want to show you one of the beautiful stamp sets you can earn when you spend $100. This stamp set comes with 16 stamps and is a Distinctive stamp.  A Distinctive stamp has deeply etched images so you get a superior stamped impression.  These type of stamps make beautiful detailed images. 

I created this card with inspiration from Hand Stamped Sentiments color challenge of  Petal Pink, Fresh Fig and Mossy Green.

The card base I embossed with the Garden Trellis embossing folder.  On the Whisper White layer I stamped the lily and stem images using the Stamparatus.  I stamped the sentiment on Petal Pink then die cut with the Pretty Label punch.  I embellished with the 5/8 inch polka dot tulle ribbon and basic rhinestones.

Go to Hand Stamped Sentiments and see more inspiration from the design team.

Thank you with a Climbing Orchid

Posted on January 1, 2019 by Genevieve Valdes

Happy New Year!  2018 has flown by and now 2019 is beginning.  I’m hoping to continue to be inspired to create and thankful for another year filled with friends and family.  Which has also inspired me along with the the sketch challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments to create this thank you card.

It’s a simple card with the orchid as a focal point and a greeting of thank you.  I rotated the rectangle layer of the sketch to fit my flower and sentiment.  The Orchid Builder bundle is currently in the Stampin Up 2018-2019 Annual Catalog.  I stamped the background with the Hardwoods stamp in Momento Black.  The leaves were die cut with the Leaf punch.

Black and Daffodil Yello Stampin Up Orchid Builder Thank You cardThis is the first challenge for the year at Hand Stamped Sentiments.  Visit and be inspired by the project from the other designers.
