This is my second blog post for today and I apologize for that. It just so happens that today, we are launching two new beautiful stamp sets by www.jessicalynnoriginal.com, called “Operation Snowball Brentwood” and “Once Upon a Fairy Tale Brentwood”. These two new stamp sets are probably my favorite drawings by Jessica, thus far. I have created two samples for each stamp set.

The supplies are listed and linked below. Have a great weekend!
We are finally launching this amazing stamp set at www.jessicalynnoriginal.com called “Live The Life You Dream About ~ Spirit Animal”. This is a little bit of a change from Jessica’s artwork in the past, but I am so in-love with this set!
I love the dream catcher image on this set. My daughter and I love dream catchers and I have them all over my house. I even have them in my car (no joke!). The sentiments that Jess included in this stamp set are all so inspirational.
For the vellum card, I first stamped the image using Versamark ink and heat-embossed it with my white embossing powder. Once it dried and cool to the touch, I turned the vellum upside down and colored the image from the back with my Copic markers. I used R83 and R85 for the dream catcher. Once I was happy with the colors, I proceeded to die-cut my card base and the decorative scallop trims using a light tan card stock. I wanted my dream catcher to be the focus of the card. I die-cut the “Believe” script sentiment using Neenah solar white card stock, and adhered it on the front of my card. I finished the design by adding a pink vellum bow, and pearls to the dream catcher.
For the second card, I wanted the focus of the card to be all about my spirit animal. I have always believed that my spirit animal is an Owl. What better way to showcase the stamp set and Jessica’s digital stamp of Brentwood Owl by combining them both! I altered the stamp a little bit so I can adhere it to Brentwood. I wanted my card scene to look like an enchanted forest so I used my Birch Tree Window Die from Simon Says Stamp. I think using the glittered paper behind it made it more magical!

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:
Scrooge
Sydney the Penguin with Friend
Christmas Snow Globe
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.
