2018 Favorite Projects

Hello friends!  I thought it would be fun to review my favorite stamping projects from each month in 2018.  I hope you enjoy them.  Here we go!


January was fun to explore design with our new Brusho powder colors and the Birthday Blooms stamp set.  See the post here.


In February I made dozens of cards with our Sweet Soiree Memories and More card pack.  See here for the post about this project. 


March brought a special order for 4 dozen corporate Thank you cards.  Our Wood Textures designer series paper is stunning for a professional yet nature-based theme.  Here is the March post.


April is one of my most favorite cards all year featuring the "You've Got This" stamp set.  I love the combo of pink, gold embossing, and vellum.  You can see the card and post here.


May was a fun fancy fold to highlight our Coffee suite.  You can see more photos of angles and details in the post here.


 June is a fun alternate design from our "Broadway Star" Paper Pumpkin kit. 


 I decorated a Mini-Pizza box and created 3x3 cards to fill it up.  Such a fun birthday kit to gift to friends. See the full post here.


July is another frilly feminine design using our Petal Promenade designer series paper and the One For All stamp set.  See the post here for this design from July.


August was a fun new technique to use the Lovely Floral texture embossing folder on watercolor paper and then color the image with our Watercolor pencils. This post can be seen here.


September was a fun design exploration with our 2018-2020 In-Colors!  See this post with all 5 cards here.


This Many Blessings card is my favorite October design and it is shared here in the post about designs for my stamp club.


My Waterfront sunset card from November is an easy favorite. I have never made a design with layers upon layers of stamped-off ink.  I was inspired by the Florida sunsets when my host challenged me to design a tropical card.  This design post can be seen here, as well as several other tropical projects.


Star of Light captivated my heart when it was first introduced and I was so happy to design with it again this year.  The gold foil edged cards and envelopes make an elegant foundation for designs.  You can see this December post here.

Well that was a fun journey through my stamping with you during 2018!  I really enjoyed sharing these projects with you.

Ink.Stamp.Share Blog Hop - Another Wonderful Year


Welcome friends!  Todays is the Ink.Stamp. Share. Blog Hop and December's theme is a New Year's color challenge.   Our color challenge consists of the colors below:


I selected Another Wonderful Year stamp set for my design.   This is in our Annual catalog.  The sentiment "Celebrate Another Wonderful Year" is perfect for welcoming 2019!  I wanted this to look really festive, especially with such lively colors.


I stamped the Celebrate in every color.  I used the Night of Navy as my center piece.  The other colors, I trimmed down the celebrate word and featured it all over the card front.  You can see in this close-up that there are rhinestones on the sentiment and on several of the embossed stars from the "Oh My Stars" embossing folder.


I hope that my design inspires you with festive ideas for the New Year.  I would love to see what you would make with this color challenge!  Please share with me if you do design a project with these colors.

Linda is the next blog to visit and ooh-and-ahh over her lovely design.  You can click on this next button or use the Roll Call list below to visit the participants.
