The new mermaid stamp sets from The Greeting Farm just captured my heart! The images are so adorable, I just had to order them all. Here are the two cards that I designed yesterday using Maisea and Trishell stamps, with dies from Diemond Dies. This is also my last post as a guest designer for Diemond Dies.
Here are the photos, and I am also sharing a process video on how I made the card.
Have an amazing weekend!
Some fun and easy projects that I made using sequins and confetti by http://www.katscrappiness.com.
I love creating shaker tags and before I left for London a few weeks ago, I decided to create a fun luggage tag. It held up quite nicely and survived 2 international trips so far! I love making unique projects.
Here are the photos of the project but I also have a video available for you below where I showed all of the projects I made and a process video for the bookmark. I hope you get inspired:

Some cards I designed recently showcasing stamp sets by CC Designs and The Greeting Farm, as well as dies by MFT Stamps. The sequins I’ve used are from http://www.katscrappiness.com.
Here is the process video for the shaker card:
The time has come to start the design team season with a bunch of digital stamps from JessicaLynnOriginal. Jessica (owner and artist) had drawn some amazing beautiful stamps for everyone to enjoy. Whether you are into cutesy designs, serious or just a nature-lover, Jessica has everything for you. For more details, please check out all of the new digital stamps at www.jessicalynnoriginal.com. For those of you who love to start creating Christmas cards early and getting it out of the way, you are in luck! Download it and keep your little ones busy by coloring and crafting with them. By the time summer is over you will not only be thankful that you started your cards early, but you would be creating some great memories with your children!
I honestly struggle designing realistic cards. I’ve always been a fun of cute stamps so I naturally picked the stamps that were more “my style”. Here are the 3 Christmas card samples I have for all of you. I hope you love them:
The last card inspired me to do a Thank You card for a teacher. My children were lucky enough to have had amazing teachers in the past. For me, teachers are super heroes. They do amazing work to sharpen the minds of our children and inspire them to do greater things and most often, they are completely unappreciated! If your child has or had a great teacher, show him or her how much you appreciate them. My daughter has a great relationship with her past teachers and is now finishing her degree in a year to become one.
I am currently in London with my family by the time this post goes live. If you have any questions about the stamps or would like to know more about the upcoming events with JLO and the design team, please head on over to Jessica’s Blog (www.jessicalynnoriginal.net). Jessica is also offering special rates if you’d like to buy all of the digital stamps. Please also join the Facebook group to win prizes this weekend and tag a friend. 2 lucky winners will win a $15 gift certificate to Jessica’s store. Jessica will announce the winner on July 5th at 8:00 a.m.
Happy crafting and have an amazing weekend!
Here is the process video if you’d like to see how I made the cards:

The spring term for the design team for www.jessicalynnoriginal.com has officially ended, but that doesn’t stop me from creating and designing for JLO Stamps.
I love coloring! It is so relaxing to just sit on my comfy chair in my craft room, listen to my favorite music and color stamp images and bring them to life!
In honor of one my favorite TV shows, Game of Thrones, I decided to color this whimsical Jasmine Becket-Griffith/Jessica Lynn Original stamp called “Sienna Dragonling”.
I first colored the image using my Copic markers, Sakura gel pens, my wink of Stella brush markers, and glossy accents, to give Sienna a whimsical look! Since this image didn’t come with a die, I took my time to fuzzy-cut the image, and then proceeded to highlight the cut edge with my black memento marker to give it a finished look.
Here is the card:
