Told You I Love This Stamp Set!

Here is a card that I CASE'd from Julie Gearinger on Splitcoaststampers.  As always, I made a couple of small changes as I just can't seem to resist!  I just love my Brother ScanNCut for cutting out images like these!

Countdown to the end of Sale-A-Bration. Oh no!

 Wow, Sale-a-Bration this year has gone by so quickly!  We still have a few more days to get free stuff so head over to my online store (button in top right) and place your order and get your free item(s).  Have you seen all the new items that Stampin' Up! has added since the blendabilities were removed?  Lots of good things to select from.

Here's a card I made recently using the A Happy Thing stamp set.  This card was inspired by a card from Karen Squires but mine ended up totally different in the end.   Sometimes this just happens!

It is difficult see in pictures but the splattering is stamped in both Sahara Sand and Gold Encore ink.  I used the honeycomb stamp from Butterfly Basics and the splattering from Gorgeous grunge.

Here on the inside of the card you can see the sponging better.  We sponged using Sahara Sand and Soft Sky.  We also attached some of the ribbon down at the bottom to finish the card.  If you haven't tried it yet, Fast Fuse is great for attaching ribbon like this!

A Hostess set You Have Got to Have...

 

I just fell in love with the Bloom With Hope hostess stamp set the moment I saw it in the new catalog. I cased this card from Lisa Martz and put the "Cathy" touch on it, adding the Bordering Blooms along the side and a few other touches.

Here's a fun mistake. I was thinking that this card was in a portrait orientation when I stamped along the bottom of the card insert. Instead of tossing that piece into my scraps, I decided to go with it and do something different so the border is on the left and the flower detail is in the top corner. And do you know what? I love it! How about you? Do you have a "happy goof" too? Share please.....

Here's what you need for this card:

• Island Indigo, Wild Wasabi , So Saffron and Whisper White Cardstock
• Bordering Blooms, Fabulous Four, Gorgeous Grunge and Bloom With Hope stamp sets
• StazOn, VersaMark, Pool Party, Coastal Cabana and Island Indigo inks
• So Saffron marker
• Washi tape
• So Saffron patterned paper
• Banner punch for ends
• Candy Dots and Bases
• White Baker's Twine
• Dazzling Diamonds
