This week’s challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments is an inspiration challenge. Using the Ornament framelits and coordinating stamp set brought my card together so fast. Love it! To make the ornaments sparkly I embossed them with Iridescent Ice and embellished with rhinestones. The colors I used for my ornaments are from this year’s In-Colors – Midnight Muse, Raspberry Ripple and Summer Starfruit. I know they don’t sound like Christmas colors but I think they’re wonderfully bright and perfect for Christmas.

It’s that time of year and I’ve been inspired to create graduation projects. I used the Perfect Pennants die to create the focal point of my card. I have tons of silver card stock from an invitation project. I used it as my card base and die cut a pennant from Basic Black cardstock. I embossed the pennant with the Stripes embossing folder and added a silver glitter top. I cut both medallions from the Perfect Pennants die and used my Owl builder punch for my graduation owl. Doesn’t he look smart? He’s such a cutie too!
I printed the black and white Houndstooth check from the digital Night and Day Designer Series Papers for his little vest. You get ten beautiful black and white background papers for $4.95. I love creating hybrid projects with My Digital Studio.
I used the graduation cap from the digital stamp set Go Graduate Plus stamp brush set. I printed it out and used it as a template. The wings are 1/4 of the 1-3/4 Scallop Circle.
This card can be given to any graduate and they would love it. Especially if there’s a gift card or check inside. This card can be created with any high school colors. I think I’ll send this card to my nephew. His school colors are cardinal, black and white.

How these days in January make me long for the beach. I guess I shouldn’t complain since the weather here has been sunny and in the 70’s but I just can’t help thinking of long summer days at the beach. This week at Hand Stamped Sentiments we have a beach theme but I still have Valentine’s day on the brain. So when I began to think of what to create for this challenge I thought of the sea…love…Eureka!!…The Sea of Love! So here’s my interpretation of this week’s beach theme challenge.

I used the Lots of Love Letterpress plate for the background. I inked it up with Versamark then ran it through the Big Shot and to add sparkle I heat embossed with Iridescent Ice embossing powder. The sentiment is stamped in Indigo Blue and also heat embossed with Iridescent Ice embossing powder.

I hope you can see how the Sea of Love shimmers with the Iridescent Ice. The fish are made with various Stampin’ Up! heart punches. I couldn’t resist the wiggle eyes. The sand is Crumb Cake card stock sponged with Soft Suede ink. This card would be perfect to give to your hubby or wife. Either way love is in the air or rather the sea.
I hope you’re inspired to join us this week with your beach themed creation. Hop on over to HSS for more inspiration from our very talented design team.
