More New Stampendous...This One's for My Mum


No one does flowers like Stampendous! I first fell in love with this company because of their beautiful flower stamps. They offer something for everyone with their Cling Jumbos and their Perfectly Clear Flower images, all of which are fun to stamp, color and/or emboss. New Stampendous florals will be arriving in stores in the next few weeks and I promise, you are going to love them.

Today's card uses the new Cling Sweet Pea stamp. You'll be seeing me use this one a lot. I love sweet peas. My grandma grew sweet peas from seeds that she collected from her relatives. My mum was smart and saved some of these very seeds and grows beautiful sweet peas every year. I don't know who loves them more - my mum or me? I do know sweet peas make me happy. This one's for you, Mum xoxo.

Got Worms?


I had a few minutes today so I thought I'd play along with this month's Stampendous Challenge. The theme is Sweet Kiddos. For all of the challenge details, please check out the new Challenge Page on the Stampendous Impressions blog. It would be great if you played along too.


I used the Stampendous Fishing Kiddo stamp, colored with Copic Markers. After coloring, I added some more texture to the image by crunching some Stampendous Color Fragments and adhering them to the grassy areas. My sentiment was stamped with the Stampendous Small Typewriter Alphabet. Some patterned paper (We R Memory Keepers & Echo Park), a wooden bead for a bobber and netting from some fresh produce and the card is done.
