Oh, Whale!

Oh Whale

I shall be so sad when these In Colors retire! I am hoping they get a reprieve in a color update. I think I need to start a campaign to save Pool Party and Calypso Coral at least. Oh, and Lucky Limeade and Island Indigo. Sigh.

Anyway, how cute is this little set? Oh Whale. So perfect for spring and summer cards. We made this card for Stamp Camp last month, the sentiment is from Wishes Your Way, which works for the new little pinwheel die, but I think it works well with this set too. I used a bunch of other cool new tools as well. The anchors are from a matching Clearlit Sizzlet called Happy Whale. The button is from the free Sale-a-bration set of ribbons and buttons. I used the Large Scallop Edgelit to make the waves, and I can’t forget the adorable new Cloudy Day embossing folder. Fun stuff!!

Happy Stampin’

From the Heart

from my heart

These are some of my favorite prints from the More Amore Designer Series Paper in the Spring Catalog. Pretty and soft. I can’t stop putting banners on all of my cards since I got this Hearts a Flutter set of framelits.  I really like how this one turned out, it uses a lot of tools, but it really goes together pretty quickly. That is what is great about having cool tools!

Thanks for looking!

Chalkboard Art Technique

Chalk technique

This is the masculine card that we made at Stamp Camp last month for Valentines Day. I really like the way it turned out, so I used it for my Darling husband’s valentine. He loved the new technique. The technique is very simple. Add a chalkboard background by rubbing a little chalk or white ink on black or green card stock with a sponge. I like to emboss my main images using white ep to make them easier to work with. You can then add depth, detail and even color with colored pencils or our white chalk pen. Add additional elements by stamping in white ink with no embossing. Be sure to add those elements after the embossing or they will grab your powder.

Have fun trying this technique!

Hearts A Flutter Framelits

Delightful Dozen

Here is a really quick and simple card. I used the Hearts a Flutter framelits for the larger hearts and then I stamped and hand cut the smallest heart from the More Amore specialty DSP. I added some embossing to some of the pieces and stamped a simple sentiment. I really like the way it turned out. Clean and simple cards are the hardest for me, for some reason!

Hearts A Flutter

Hearts a Flutter

Here is a sweet and simple valentine, created using the Hearts a Flutter set from the Spring Mini. Love that lacy heart stamp. I used a small strip of my Sweet Shop DSP (that is still on sale in the Clearance rack for $2.59. How FAB is that!?) The ribbon is from the Sale-a-bration Sycamore Street Ribbon and Button Pack. It is so nice to work with. I am hoarding this stuff.

Thanks for looking!
