Mother's Day Spotlight for AMuse Studio

Hello crafting friends!  I am so excited to share a few projects I've created as a Spotlight post for A Muse Studio.  Their products are among some of my favorites with stamps ranging from cute, whimsical, as well as detailed, and beautiful.  I also have to point out that the products I've used on my projects are available at 20% off with discount code: SPOTLIGHT!!!

And now onto some of my projects...

 I LOVE the way the watercoloring on this arrangement turned out.  The stamp and die set I used were the Bouquet of Love and I used A Muse Studio Pigment Ink in Azul, and very little water.  I also continued to layer the color where I wanting the shading to be the darkest.  For the flowers I used the Hibiscus and Grass Pigment Inks.  Once my image was completely colored I set it off to the side to dry.  I then stamped and watercolored three more flower images to pop up later on the finished project.  I decided to turn this into a seat place card by die cutting the vase twice and adhering just the tops together for it to stand up.  This also provided a place to write a name on the inside.

Another project I created using this same stamp and die set were a set of gift boxes.  I love to see how one set can be used in various ways and I think this does just that.  I started by creating my boxes out of papers from the Mother's Day Collection.  Since I would be adding my stamped floral tag on top of the smaller box I decided to dress the larger box up with a doily.  To keep everything tied together I used Bakers Cording in Mermaid.

I hope this has given you a few ideas on how else you can use your A Muse Studio Stamps to create off the card projects!  And I hope you'll get a chance to stop by later this week as I'll be sharing more how to's on my Mother's Day Spotlight projects.

Happy Crafting!

Handmade Ornament with A Muse Studio

Hi!  I thought I would stop by and share an Ornament I created for the newest A Muse Studio Release...

To create this ornament I used half of a plastic ornamented backed it with the largest die cut Pinking Circle A.  I adhered the Largest snowflake from the Snowflake Trio, and infant this was a left over cut from this card...

I then filled the ball with Diamond Glitter, Snowfall Sequins, and clear Sequins.  I also added a sentiment from the You're the Coolest Stamp Set and I adhered it all together with hot glue.  I tied it off with Bermuda Silk Ribbon.

I also created a little tag to go on the side so that the ornament can be attached to a gift or be the gift itself.  I've used the Tiny Tags Stamp and Die Set as well as the You're the Coolest Stamp Set for the tag.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you'll pop over to the A Muse Studio Store to see all of the new products if you haven't had a chance already!

A Muse Studio Release Day 1

Hello! I'm so happy to share that it is time for a new release with A Muse Studio!  Today I have a super fun card that is perfect for a little Holiday laugh, and a coffee or hot chocolate lover...

This sentiment takes the cake if you ask me!  It also happens to be the title of this stamp set.  I love the matching dies to this set and I used those to create my mugs out of cardstock that I first covered with double sided adhesive, die cut the shapes and then sprinkled them with Glitter in Cranberry.  For the sentiment I stamped and cut it out adhering it to the middle mug.  Other products I've used include: Organdy Sheer Ribbon: Lime, Cardstock: Cherry, Cherry Herringbone, Sage, Evergreen, and Glitter White.

Aren't you excited for this release?!  And it's only day 1!  Make sure you pop over to the A Muse Studio Blog for more inspiration, peeks, and a giveaway!

A Muse Studio Day 3 Sneak Peek

It's Day 3, which means only one more sleep until all of these new goodies are available for you to purchase in the A Muse Studio Store! Woot Woot!  Today's set is called Eat, Drink, and Be Thankful, and it consists of two large script sentiments that definitely make a sentiment.  You can also add some sweet fall images from the set to any project you are creating.  Here's a peek at something I've created with this set...

I love how this sentiment looks cut and in the center of my shaker.  For the inside of my shaker I used Orange Sequins and French Roast Glitter.  I stamped several of the leaf images with the Pigment Ink in Papaya, Orange, and French Roast.  I also added two toned stamping by stamping the image first with a light ink and went over part of it with a darker ink.

Stop by the A Muse Studio Blog for a chance to win this new set for yourself and for more peeks!

A Muse Studio Day 2: Fierce

Woo hoo!  It's Day #2 of the A Muse Studio Release and this set is Ah-MAZING!  I Love, love, love the sentiments in this set!  So fun, sassy, and or uplifting!  I decided to make myself a little desk reminder our of a paper frame, the Fierce Set and the Summer Blooms Set...

 Isn't it awesome?!  LOVE it!  I've used a fun mix of papers in Grape, Papaya, and Shell.  I also used white to stamp and color in the flowers.  I then added some clear sparkle.  My layers were die cut with Postage Stamps Dies.  There needed to be a little more sparkle so I busted out some of the Bubblegum Sequins and added them to the sides of the flowers on the frame.
