I have tons of pics to share, so let's get started! First up, a card using Kelly's Seattle stamp set.
I used Pool and Sunshine papers. The Misti comes in quite handy with this design. I place the images onto my panel and then have the Misti do all the work. I used Tide Pool Shadow ink. It has a bit of an ombre look, eh? That might happen if you don't clean off your stamps from their last use. I was going to do it over again but, I like it!
Next up, is something that was quite a project for me! Yup, it's a mini album that I created using a notebook that I picked up for super cheap!
F6078 Pineapple • DC181 Kelly's Labels Stamp & Cut
My first page uses the fun Pineapple stamp. It's been colored with Zig Clean Color Markers. I also used Kelly's Labels Stamp & Cut.
H6158 Destination Seattle • H6169 Destination Hawaii • CL981 Happy Mail
I'm a huge fan of the new Destination stamps...I used Seattle and Hawaii...see the arrow? That is from the new Happy Mail stamp set released as an add-on for the (sold out) April My Monthly Hero Kit.
CL978 Beach • CL956 Color Layering Seahorse
We definitely were spoiled by the gorgeous weather and perfect trade winds that made me a happy camper! I'm trying to incorporate my handwriting more often in my projects. Maui Hyatt was written on Kelly's Everyday Sticky Notes. The peace, love & sunshine is from the New Beach set. The stamps on the right page are all from the Color Layering Seahorse set. The starfish was inked with Butter Bar + Dark Quartz Shadow Inks. I watercolored the page a smidge with my Peerless.
CG695 Irregular Grid Bold Prints • CL977 City Adventure
I was super lucky to fly over to Oahu and meet up with Niki Garcia and Donna Mikasa💚 (note: super sad that the pic turned out dark) We had such an awesome dinner together! I used Kelly's Food Coma + Kelly's Girl Talk Planner stamps on the left page.
Darin and I toured the Road to Hana with another couple from his company. It was a long day but we managed to stop by several places like Hana Farms + Maui Wine. I used the new Irregular Grid Bold Prints and City Adventure on the Hana Farms page.
