Country Living....

 This card was inspired by another talented artist.  I wanted to share it with you before the Country Living stamp set retires on June 3.  I thought this was a great card for the man in your life or even a teenage boy.  Stamping on the Wood Textures 6x6 papers creates a woodgrain guitar easily.

Tippin' on Tuesday - Hey Chick!

I know that this adorable stamp set is not available now that Sale-A-Bration 2017 is over (how sad is that?!) but I just had to show you this card that I made using the stamp set.  I hope you nabbed this stamp set while it was available for free because it is too cute!

 The card measures the standard card size of 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" - it just has some missing from the sides!

The pull tab slides down to show your sentiment and the little egg - almost like the chicken laid the little egg, don't you think?

I am back!!!

I can't believe it has been almost three months since I last blogged!  What a busy summer it has been.  Lucky for you, I have kept up on my classes and workshops so I have lots of cards to share with you.  I hope to get back to doing some videotaping as soon as I lose this lousy cold - unless you like a Greta Garbo voice!

Here's a twist on the standard shaker card - instead of sequins or glitter, use stamped images!  Here, I stamped the little butterflies from Papillon Potpourri stamp set and punched them out.  The one butterfly on the right side is affixed to the back but the other three butterflies are left to fly around inside.  Stampin' Up!'s adhesive strips are tall enough that the butterflies move freely even with rhinestones attached.

On the inside of the card, I used the Thoughtful Banners stamp set to create the sentiment for this card.  The great part is that you can put all of the words onto one acrylic block and stamp once.  Easy peasy!

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!
