The Clearly Besotted release drops today, February 5th, 8pm (GMT) UK time on the Clearly Besotted website and Simon Says Stamp.   Today I am featuring the ‘Clearly Contained’ stamp set again; remember, it is a collection of empty containers in various shapes and sizes.  You can stamp these beautiful images on their own, or you can use images from the Clearly Contained Cuts, Clearly Contained Contents, or Clearly Contained Cuties sets.  These three sets are separate stamp sets on their own.  Today I am pairing Clearly Contained with Clearly Contained Cuts. I just LOVED working with the Clearly Contained Cuts, lots of florals and foliage perfect to pair with Clearly Contained, or to use standalone to use as scene fillers. This was the first card I made and I knew I wanted a little sunshine and spring in this card.  I colored the images in bright spring colors and used pan pastels to create a light background in yellow and blue.  Due to poor space planning on my part I had a huge empty sp

Yay, we made it to Day 4 of Clearly Besotted Countdown Teasers. Remember release day is tomorrow.

I envisioned a woodsy, earthy, nature theme!  I colored 5 images and 5 containers using copic markers, keeping my color scheme to grey greens, yellows and light grey blues.  I love how these images fit perfectly inside the containers.  I also selected a sentiment from prior release ‘Says It All Again’.  It’s never too late to say Happy New Y

Hello Everyone, Welcome to Day 3 of Clearly Besotted Countdown Teasers!  Today I am sharing an Easter themed card using the Ring Around Spring stamp set. I just adore this stamp set; it comes with a gorgeous spring wreath, adorable bugs and cute critters. So many possibilities with this stamp set as you can use an element all on its own or pair it together for your own unique combination. I always like to use as many stamps on a card as possible!  I colored the images using Copic Markers in a spring theme, light greens, pinks, light blues and yellow.  I placed the critters inside the wreath and adhered the bugs on the wreath as well.  I stamped the Easter Blessings sentiment at the bottom of the card and framed out the card front using a frame die from my stash.  I love how light and fresh spring colors are. The Clearly Besotted release drops February 5th, 8pm (GMT) UK time on the Clearly Besotted website and Simon Says Stamp.   I hope you enjoyed my card and Easter Blessings to you al

Welcome back to Countdown Teasers for Clearly Besotted, today I am sharing a special stamp set ‘Clearly Contained’; it is a collection of empty containers in various shapes and sizes.  You can stamp these beautiful images on their own, or you can use images from the Clearly Contained Cuts, Clearly Contained Contents, or Clearly Contained Cuties sets.  These three sets are separate stamp sets on their own.  Today I am pairing Clearly Contained with Clearly Contained Cuties. I used a frame die from my stash that would allow me to make 4 separate mini scenes.  I stamped and colored images from both stamp sets using the Ohuhu Skin Tone Markers.  I also used a foliage image from Clearly Contained Cuts to fill one of the vases.  I used Spun Sugar and Abandoned Coral Distress oxide inks to create a light fog in the bottom of my mini scenes.  I also used different sentiments from the stamp sets so each square would have a sentiment of some sort.  It was super fun to mix and match these cuties.

Greetings Everyone! I am very honored and excited to share the Clearly Besotted February Release with all of you.  Each day for Countdown Teasers, I will be sharing a part of the release.  I was very inspired by spring and the hope and renewal that come with the season. The Clearly Besotted release drops February 5th, 8pm (GMT) UK time on the Clearly Besotted website and Simon Says Stamp.   Today, I am sharing one of my favorite sets, ‘Wonderful Wishes’.  I imagined a whimsical dandelion world with baby critters frolicking about.  I used copic markers to color the images.  I colored the main dandelion stamp on the top and bottom of the card.  I thought of them as borders, I showed a friend and she asked me why dandelions were growing from the sky, LOL!  I then selected 3 cute images making sure I chose one flying in the air and one standing on the ground.  I cut out these images and adhered them to my stamped background.  To add a light mist I used pan pastels in a sage green color.  P
