3.29.2017...Yummy In My Tummy....


Here is a fun card I designed for my March Stamp-A-Stack which fits in beautifully with the kids theme. 

Water-coloring the images with an aqua painter and ink pads makes super quick way of coloring these images.  

Do you notice the wink of stella glitter on the big orange guys belly :)

Here is a close up of the stamp set found on page 16 of the Occasions Catalog:

3.28.2017... Creating with Retired Products...


This beauty was made using three retired products...the ribbon, the stamp set, and the greeting.  

I love the crisp look of Watermelon Wonder and Whisper White!  

And the wood element for a greeting adds interest.

3.24.2017...Hello You Thinlets and Crazy About You


I was playing in my craft studio last weekend and I had a scrap of DSP left over ...so of course I had to make a card with it.....this is what I came up with using the Crazy About You stamp set and Sunshine Wishes Thinlet dies:
 I tend to lean toward purchasing greeting stamp sets that are more versatile...and this one sure fits the bill....and as an added bonus has three image stamps to go with it!

3.22.2017...Builder Birdcage Beauty...



I was playing in my craft studio on the weekend and decided to ink up a stamp set that I have never used.  It is called Builder Birdcage and is found on page 36 of the Occasions Catalog, and has a whopping 16 stamps!

 Just imagine all the combinations you can come up with....and I see a chandelier....do you see it too?  Just flip the stand upside down and add the "lights" image above it.  The possibilities are endless.

This was a very quick and easy card to make, and I love how crisp and clean looking it turned out.
