Happy Birthday, Bev

Happy Thursday! This card went to my up line Bev for her birthday and while her birthday was at the beginning of February and we are almost in March I assure you that it  made it to her on time and that I'm just now getting around to posting it. This card photographed a bit lighter than it actually is. The Blooming with Kindness stamp set as really been one of my go to sets lately. I just love that flower. I have to admit when I first saw it in the catalog it didn't really grab my attention... boy has that changed. =D The shadow box was stamped using ink on a acrylic block. I really love that technique I love finding new ways to use product. Thanks for stopping by.

Easter Blessings

When I first had the chance to glimpse at the spring catalog during our Demonstrator

 pre-order this single stamp was one of my top items to go on my wish list as a must have.

 I just love the font and the size of this sentiment.

This was another card that I cased at our pre-order stamp event for demo's. This was created by my friend and fellow Demo Sarah C. She used dsp from the print poetry paper pack offered in the spring catalog for her sample.  I will show you her original in the next couple of days. I love the use of the large flower from the blooming with kindness stamp set as a background. All around I loved this card. Thanks again for sharing Sarah.

I hope that you had a great weekend, I know that we did. The weather was beautiful this weekend here in California. We spent most of our time outside enjoying it. This is a card that I did at a recent super stampers. I really love this blooming with kindness stamp set and its been getting it's use a lot lately. To achieve the  box of color that the flower is stamped on I inked a acrylic block with our summer starfruit ink and then stamped it directly onto the whisper white card stock. It's a simple and great technique and can be used with any size clear block.

I know I've been MIA for sometime now. I've been really busy lately so my blog has been neglected not to mention blogger has been giving me a hard time when trying to upload my pictures. Here is a card that I made for a spring catalog stamp day with some of my demo friends. I'm really loving this DSP and the laser cut hearts that come with it, it also has that added bonus of coordinating with our hearts a flutter stamp set
that is currently featured in the spring catalog. I'm hoping that I will be able to get back to posting more so be sure to check back. Thanks for stopping by. Hope you have a great Valentine's Day!!
