I’m excited to announce

a new Guest Designer

Jennie Harper!

Jennie is a sweet woman of God and an inspiring cardmaker! Her hip Clean & Simple style highlights Layers of Color art stamps and art stencils with a fresh and pretty flair.

Psalm 62:7 card, by Jennie Harper

What a beautiful example of of how Jennie loves to surround scripture with pretty colors and stamped elements! She has made the background paper with Belle Brocade art stencil and then used Joyful Noise art stamps as active images to make the card design come alive with music! Gorgeous, Jennie!

Our design team is blessed by Jennie’s lovely friendship and I know you will find her a joy to know as well. Please visit her beautiful website, “Stampin’ Away the Day“, which is full of marvelous card ideas! And come back here each Wednesday in September as she shares her new Layers of Color artwork as our Guest Designer!


New Digi Stamp Line!


Exciting news!…

Announcing the Grand Opening of

Laura Kirste Campbell’s

new line of digital stamps

offered exclusively on Squigglefly!

Announcing  the arrival of a brand new product…original, hand-drawn digital stamps!

Expanding Layers of Color art stamp line with an entirely new look in a fresh hip style!

Squigglefly, a popular digital website is announcing their newest artist, Laura Kirste Campbell!

But there is a very special purpose above and beyond these exciting facts that give this new direction personal meaning for the artist. Laura is donating 100% of her Squigglefly profits directly to The Theological Biblical Academy, (TBA). TBA trains pastors and church planters who will establish and lead biblical churches in Croatia and the bordering countries of Slovenia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and Serbia. This is the ministry of her dear friend, Nina Brackett, who is also a Squigglefly artist. This is not only a way for Laura to lend support, but also to give to thanks to God for gifting her with talents and her art business, Layers of Color.

Please come by Squigglefly, check out their blog, visit Laura’s “about” page, and help support this wonderful ministry by choosing several delightful digis! And may God be glorified through us all!



Guest Designer ~ Irene Tan!


“Togetherness”,  12″ X 12″ Layout by Irene Tan

Ooo, this is so rich with loving emotions and beautiful details!

Irene has sweetly snuggled Backyard Birds on the corner of her daughter’s photo. She’s given more life to the page with layers of flowers and flourishes from Flowering Gems and Old World Flourish art stamp sets.

Vintage Medallion art stencil adds a delicate lace-like design to the background.

In the corner of the page Irene has used Backyard Birds art stamps to further express togetherness. They rest on Garden Borders and are connected to the photo through the organic shapes of Natural Flourish art stencil.

Beautiful details that make this layout sing are Old World Flourish art stamp, Victorian Corner and Botanical Swirls art stencils. I’m inspired by Irene’s creative idea to stencil on the cut out butterfly. Magnificent layout!!

Come visit here each Wednesday in August when we’ll share her latest stunning Layers of Color artwork. For more beautiful ideas, please visit Irene’s blog, “Scrapperlicious“.


Farewell Party for Kristine Breach!


Layers of Color Design Team is saying, “Farewell” to Kristine Breach as she retires…

I met Kristine through the challenge blog, Stampin Sisters in Christ. Her joy for the Lord shone so brightly, it was the natural bond that made us instant and eternal friends. When she joined Layers of Color design team I was overjoyed and often inspired by her creative art. Her artwork is so beautiful that I’ve used it to drum up excitement about Layers of Color art stamps by displaying it at our first show and on the back of our product packages. In the delightful 7 months that she’s been a special part of our team she’s created a splendid gallery of one gorgeous work of art after the other. You’re sure to find many wonderful ideas to spark your imagination! Speaking of which, I’d like to share some of my all time favorite beauties made by the lovely and talented, Kristine Breach…

Wow, isn’t this amazing! The roof on this stunning 3 dimensional box is a removable lid. It features Merci Bouquet and Backyard Birds art stamp sets. I adore this piece so much! Kristine bravely allowed me to pack it up and bring it across the US with me to display at a trade show. It was highly admired and loved. I love the scripture theme, “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord”. The the inspiring colors and textures make this a gorgeous work of art!!

Kristine will no longer be a designer on our team, but it’s not Goodbye, just ” Farewell!”. I’m sure she’ll be back as a guest designer some day. We will keep her in our prayers and stay connected. We’re sad to lose such a talented designer, but we have joy in our hearts because she has become our dear friend and sister in Christ.

This is the striking card that I loved so much that I asked Kristine if I could use it as a sample on the back of the Belle Brocade art stencil packaging. She kindly obliged, and it’s been inspiring crafters worldwide ever since! Thank you, Kristine for sharing your great ideas with us all!

I want to share so many more of my favorite pieces of hers, like the Chicken Tea Pot, the Bird “B”, her Rose Basket and marvelous faith art cards, (like the stunner she made last week)! But I’ll send you to her art gallery so you can choose your own favorites, (if you can, they are all fabulous)! Be sure to stop by her blog full of sunshine, “Ink Something” for fresh weekly ideas!

To honor Kristine, the Layers of Color team of designers and friends all want to pour out our love for her as we say “Farewell!”. Please join us in sending her off with a huge party of admiration, warmth and hugs by visiting and commenting on each Farewell Party blog:

Grace Nywening / Janice Whiting / Linda Lucas / Melisa Waldorf / Nina Brackett

and our guest of honor, Kristine Breach!

Kristine, we’ll miss your contagious smiles, how you make us laugh, your precious prayerful support and encouragement, and of course your constant source of new ideas and inspiration. Farewell with love, Kristine! See ya later alligator!
