Botanicals For You Clear-Mount Stamp Set
$0.00

Colors: Daffodil Delight, Island Indigo, Mossy Meadow, Strawberry Slush, Whisper White

I decided the first two cards needed a little something under the word "you", so I found a Paper Pumpkin stamp that was a row of dots. You could also use a marker to make dots if you don't have a similar stamp.

Use It Up Watercolor Wings A Dozen Thoughts Butterflies

Sorry I've missed posting for a few days! We had the flu go through our house. Even Sydne (our Lab) got sick! Not fun! I'm finally starting to feel a little better, but still am not eating much. Luckily I had made a bunch of cards last weekend and had taken pictures of them, I just never got a chance to put them on here. I'll start with four that are basically the same card, just different patterns from retired All Abloom Designer Series Paper samples I had.

The top layer of the butterflies are actually waxed paper that I ended up with from cutting that layer out of card stock for another project. I wasn't sure what to do with them so I just hung on to them. I'm glad I did! They look pretty cool on these cards! I used the Fine Tip Glue Pen on just the body so the wings are free to move.

One more striped background- this time I made some thinner stripes to mix in:

I should have used the Stamp-A-Ma-Jig for my greeting! It's a little crooked. I was lining it up with the goose's head, which isn't level. Oh well! It's handmade!

You've Got This Teeny Tiny Wishes Striped Sympathy

Another striped background and the same layout (but turned) as yesterday:

I used the AquaPainter and my ink pads to color in the flower and stem. Then I used my markers to add shading to the flower and color in the center.

Flowering Fields Teeny Tiny Wishes Striped Sympathy

 Playing with scraps again! I had a bunch of long strips of Basic Black card stock and decided to make a striped background:

Picture Perfect Petite Pairs Hummingbird Birthday

After making my swaps for the Stamp Share For Leaders event a couple weeks ago, I had just a little bit of the Dotted Lace Trim ribbon that I used on them left. I decided to tie them around a Whisper White layer and came up with these cards:

Picture Perfect Photopolymer Stamp Set
$27.00

Petite Pairs Clear-Mount Stamp Set
$21.00

Cucumber Crush 1" Dotted Lace Trim
$6.00

Mint Macaron 1" Dotted Lace Trim

Colors: top card- Basic Black, Cajun Craze, Cucumber Crush, Whisper White

bottom card- Basic Black, Mint Macaron, Watermelon Wonder, Whisper White

This was the first time I have used the Picture Perfect stamp set. I think with a little more practice I'll be better at lining up the layers. I stamped off for the first layer and then did the second layer fully inked. A shade of red for the throat and then black for the last layer.

Balloon Celebration Balloon Bouquet Punch Birthday Three Different Ways

 Today I have three similar cards to show you that I made three different ways. I love balloons and wanted to see which was the best way to use the balloons from Balloon Celebration (Occasions Catalog, page 12). Here we go...

First, I just stamped the balloons.

Second, I stamped the balloons on Whisper White and punched them out with the Balloon Bouquet Punch (you can buy the stamp set and punch as a bundle!)

For the last card, I punched the balloons out of colored card stock- no stamping.
