Helmar - Today is a new day....

I teamed up my Susan K. Weckesser papers and Unity stamps, Helmar glues and threw in a dash of Frosted Designs Kits to create this cute little quote book.

Here's a quick slideshow to show you the process, if you need any step out instructions then please pop over to the Helmar blog :)

Hi everyone, I am so happy to be a guest designer for {my sweet earth} today. I just love all the projects I see over here by the fabulous design team, so it thrills me to be among such wonderful talent!

 I love the papers and stamps by Susan K. Weckesser, which have a delightful, whimsical mixed media look to them in bright cheery colors! Plus they are made from 100% recycled paper made in the USA! Bonus!

This is my card that I created:

Two of my favorite things to do are outlining and fussy cutting. The outlining just makes everything pop and by cutting out my pieces I get to create some fantastic layering and dimension.

I love this Unity Stamp by Susan called Insta-Cute. I admit I am addicted to all stamps that include cameras and Polaroid frames but these red rubber stamps are large, which is just awesome to work with! I stamped the frame onto the Live, Love, Create paper and then cut out the inside and glued it over the top of the Bouquet paper with the bird on it. Perfect fit.

Then I used the Crafters Workshop Live in Color stencil to create a fun border on my envelope along with the smile sentiment from the  Insta-Cute stamp, I think a little mail art is fun for everyone: recipient and postal carrier alike!!

 {my Sweet earth} - October Inspiration


I loved the color palette for October but my mind wanted to use them in a non Halloween projects and I wanted to use my new stencil I made ( inspired by Carolyn Dube ) by drawing an image on cardboard, and then outlining it with puffy paint and heat setting it to rise up. I planned on using it for my gelli plate but it got it's first run as a stamp on paper, and I LOVE how it turned out. This is the stamp I made, it's about 5 x 10".

I rolled on orange paint with a brayer and then stamped the paper with it.
Whatever didn't print I filled in with a paint pen.

I dripped ink sparay inks and made delightful splatters following the October color palette.
