The challenge at StampNation this week is to use layering stamps. I love layering stamps because it adds so much depth of color without having to get out markers, paintbrush or other mediums. Here is a sneak peek of my card for this week's challenge.

The Paisley Peacock stamp set is very versatile. Here I have used a couple of the feather layering stamps and made a rainbow pinwheel. Fun Fun!
As you can see I had a blast playing with all my different ink colors. If you don't have this many inks to choose from, no worries. Simply "stamp off" to get a lighter shade for your inner colors.
The masterclass with CASual Fridays Stamps continues at StampNation. Yesterday the colorfully talented Michelle Lupton shared a rainbow of sassy cards. Monday was my Sassy Yet Classy tutorial and a new one will go up tomorrow. All classes are free for StampNation members and the classroom never closes, so you can watch them again and again for inspiration.
There is a new masterclass over at StampNation brought to you by CAS-ual Fridays Stamps. Guess who one of the guest teachers is? If you guessed me, you get a gold star!
This is going to be such a fun class! Every tutorial shows you different ways to add Sass to your cards using stamps and dies from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps. My card uses just a dash of sass to turn a classy card into something you would give to your bestie! Here's a sneak peek of my card. Hop on over to StampNation to see the full card.

Did you know that StampNation has a bi-monthly (or is it bi-weekly) Christmas challenge to help inspire us to get our cards made before December 25th? There have been some great ones already, but this is the first time I have joined in. My plan is to go back and do the others after the kids are back in school. (8 more days, but who's counting?)
The challenge this week is SNOW, so I pulled out my snowflake collection of stamps and dies and went to work creating my own snowy background with an emboss resist technique.
I hope you will join in on this challenge. To see what the design team and fellow members have created for inspiration CLICKY.
All of my friends know I LOVE the ocean. If I could live anywhere it would be at the ocean with my own private beach. So, it's no surprise that I love this month's Calling All Sistahs Encouragement Challenge.
To join in the challenge you make an Encouragement card based on the photo or colors or both. Here is my card.

It's the 17th of the month and I am here to remind you to do your breast self-checks and schedule those yearly mammograms if it is time. Here is my sparkly card made with you in mind!

After you have done your self-check, head on over to the Calling All Sistahs blog. Michele has a very important message she's sharing today and you won't want to miss it. Not to mention the fabulously talented Encouragement Squad cards!
This card was inspired by my friend Kristie Goulet. She is a master at taking stamps and using them in unique ways to create new designs. Her classes over at StampNation have me looking at my stamps with fresh, new eyes.
My other inspiration for this card came from my new business. I needed some tags to add to the mini facials I was giving away and that sparked the overall theme of this card. I chose fresh colors from our logo and stamped them on a tag that I could include as part of their gift or on a card like you see here.
Today is the second day of blog hops. Be sure to head on over to Catherine's blog to see who is participating today. And, don't forget to get on the waitlist to find out the moment this collection goes on sale!
Being creative has been such a blessing in my life that I want to share it with others. On my blog you will find cards, scrapbooks, quilts and a bit of my family life mixed in.
