Hi everyone! I’ve been eyeing Essential by Ellen’s Leading Ladies stamp sets for years almost but I never pulled the trigger to buy them because I didn’t know which ones to choose. I finally picked out a few and I’m using Hot Mess Lady for today’s cards.

All my supplies for creating this card will be listed down below (with multiple sources when available) for your curiosity and convenience. Affiliate links used when possible.

I stamped images from the Hot Mess Lady stamp set using Fadeout Ink. Then I colored them up using a variety of copic markers. I really just wanted to sit down and color to de-stress. For me, no line coloring is a lot of fun and always a challenge — it helps me clear my mind. Once I finish coloring my items, I ended up fussy cutting the images.

For both cards, I’m using Honey Bee Stamps’ A2 Thin Frames to help frame my little scenes.

CARD 1:
I used the Honey Bee Stamps’ A2 Thin Frames by tilting two of them to frame in the Hot Mess Lady. For the edges of this card panel, I used Salty Ocean distress ink to add some color for interest. I also colored up a table for all her items.

CARD 2:
This one pretty much sums up all my plans I had for the year. I’m a planner so I had all these trips planned out and well, life happens. I added 2020 to the calendar. I also needed a trash can for one of my card ideas, so I stamped the one in Gerda Steiner’s Sneaky Raccoons set and only colored the portion I needed. With Fadeout Ink, I don’t need to mask since the ink is so light anyway, which is also what I did with the calendar. For the sentiment, I used Ink Road’s The One with All the Stamps. Anyone know which Friends’ episode this quote is from? I thought it was perfect.

Thanks for stopping by! Happy Crafting!
