I wish I still lived near the ocean like I did when I was younger. Of course, we didn't go to the beach very often as we lived in the Pacific Northwest and it was usually raining and cool. I remember my mom wouldn't let us go swimming until it was 80*F. That happened for about a week, lol! ;)

I have been thinking about Paris and a pink and black color scheme and just had to use Great Impression F515 Large Eiffel Tower rubber stamp to create this pretty tag. I think this is just a beautiful stamp using lace to create the Eiffel Tower so I used more lace to accent it. I picked up the lace with the little black bow and the embossing.
After stamping the Eiffel Tower, I cut it out and popped it to give some dimension an then added black glitter to really make it shine.
Thanks for stopping by today. See you next Friday,
Hi, friends! It's time for another post using stamps from the Great Impressions online store! This time, I've got a sweet puppy friend joining me...and this raises a question. Is it strange that I color almost every single dog image like my fur baby?! It's just second nature now... ;) Take a peek at this latest dog image...
I just LOVE this new image!!! The puppy is darling and I adore the fact that it's in a gardening pot--such a sweet scene! This is one of the NEWEST IMAGES available HERE in the Great Impression store!
And here's my fur baby for comparison~

I've never been one to create small cards and I've never really whipped up a CAS (clean and simple) card. So here is my project.....
I've stamped my image on black paper then cut it out. I then used a pop dot on the sun for more depth and added the clouds. The stamp I used is called Sun and Clouds G461.

Everyone loves puppies and what's not to love with Great ImpressionF578 Scott Rubber Stamp? For this card I added some grey high lights to my white puppy and a little pink in his ears. I also gave his nose and the blacks of his eyes a little bit of Stickles. The puppy is actually stamped three times and two of the images are popped up to give him dimension.
Instead of the cute little tulip that is part of F578 Scott I covered the blossom with a matching flower from the design paper.
This pup is perfect for any occasion and will be sure to win a few hearts.
Hi, friends! It's Thursday and so I'm back today with a NEW card using stamps from the Great Impressions store! This time I have a cool and crisp summer creation for your viewing pleasure. Come and take a peek...
This card really didn't take too much time to make--but I LOVE the fabulous texture that happens when you use glimmer mists! I didn't have time to make a video tutorial on how to create this effect, but it's totally simple. What you'll need~
Blending tool
Glimmer Mist
Versamark ink pad
Black embossing powder
Silhouette stamp
Heat gun
Here's how~
Blend your neutral cardstock with ink. I used green for "grass" and turquoise for "sky". You can use any colors you want to!
Shake your glimmer mist and spray your panel. I usually hold the spray bottle about 4-6 inches from the panel.
OPTIONAL: If you're like me, I can't wait. SO, you can take your heat gun to dry the glimmer mist faster. Make sure to heat the front AND back of the panel to keep your paper flat instead of warped.
Ink up your silhouette stamp with Versamark ink, stamp it onto your panel, and emboss it with your black embossing powder. You don't have to use black, try other colors!
Use panel for your creation!
See! TOTALLY easy! Don't have glimmer mist? You could use plain old water, OR you could make your own glimmer mist! See my personal blog HERE for a tutorial on how to do that!
Thanks so much for stopping by to take a peek at this card! Hop over to play along with our monthly challenge, too! If you use stamps from Great Impressions, you'll be able to link up your creation in our Customer Gallery, too! HUGS and happy stamping to you all!
Hi ya peeps, today I am going to share a little love.
This cute little heart card was created with stamps Eyelet Heart H238 and Heart Burst Background G294. I created the background using white ink on red. I like the results and to make the top heart pop I stamped it on white with red ink. I added a yummy ribbon and I cute chalkboard butterfly. Thanks for stopping by, don't forget to stop by the Great Impressions Pinterest and Facebook pages for lots more inspiring ideas.
We spend a lot of time up at our family cabin in summer and I enjoy sending the kids cards with a few dollars in. So when we go up for the weekend they have some fun mail! And money for the candy store!! (Which there happens to be one right next store!)
So I created this card for my little girl, as she loves her "flingos"!
Hello to all of my Great Impressions friends! Welcome back for more inspiration from the Great Impressions store! It is the first Saturday, and we are having a blog hop all month with Operation Write Home! Have you had a chance to hop yet? If not click here to start! Now, Here is a little inspiration for your Saturday:
I created a background paper using shimmer sprays of various colors, which somehow came out looking mostly pink and then used my lovely Great Impression stamps to emboss in black. This created a very rich look especially after adding black matting to the images.
All the images are popped with foam tape. The frame, which was created using a border punch, echos the roses in the Scent of a Rose Stamp. Finally, I added a few black embellishments and a punched butterfly to finish the card.
Hi, friends! It's Mynn here and today I've got a CAS style card using a Father's Day theme using stamps from the Great Impressions store! Come and take a peek!
I used Crackle Accents on one of the chairs to give it an antiqued look--like a chair that has been well worn and well used and well loved! It kinda reminds me of the chair that Frasier's dad can't get rid of. ;)
Thanks so much for stopping by to take a peek at this card! Hop over to play along with our monthly challenge, too! This month we've got a BLOG HOP with more chances to win a prize!!!

Who doesn't like a watering can full of pretty flowers! I stamped the image in brown onto kraft paper, colored it up using Prismacolor pencils, used a white gellyroll pen and added 2 cute 3D butterflys. I am really liking coloring on kraft paper!
