Purple Onion's new stamp previews!

Hello! I hope you're all having a great weekend. I'm so excited to finally share some previews of the newest stamp release by the talented Stephanie Ackerman for Purple Onion Designs.


I just love her whimsical, homespun style and when Michele sent me the stamps, I knew what I wanted to do, and put my cards together so quickly. Such happy stamps!


I used Heart Flower and paired it with Flower Quotes for my shaped cards on kraft. The flowers were colored with Copics and attached with dimensional tape. I added a bit of Glossy Accents and Stickles to the hearts.


The backgrounds were stamped with Hero Arts Raindrop Background or Large Canvas Stripes. The "grass" was made with some paper scraps from my stash.

I love the sweet sentiments and Stephanie's playful, handwritten font. A bit of faux stitching around the edges and the cards were done. So quick and easy!


Want to see more stamp previews? Head over to Jenn's blog and see what my sweet friend has created.

And please visit Carly and Jennifer tomorrow for even more inspiration using the new images. All stamps will go on sale Tuesday, May 3rd in Purple Onion Designs' store.
