Stamping Like Crazy!

I have been stamping like a crazy woman since last week. I guess I have made more than 40 different cards since last week. I am not working much this summer and I have lots of time on my hands. Today I spent the whole day trying to find my new In Color markers (never found them). I am thinking I did not notice they were absent from my order! Oops! I will call SU tomorrow. They are so good to us!

I will be showing another Bubble Over card today. I am still using the recently retired DSP but it is still so handy!  This card features the sparkly ribbon left over from Sale-A-Bration also. It goes pretty well with the Calypso Coral card stock.

More Lilypad Lake (with egrets)

This is the last one for the month of June (I think). I cannot seem to get my fill of this wonderful set. If you live near a lake then this is a definite for you!

Lilypad Lake again!

I guess I just cannot get enough of this stamp set. I will be featuring it for my next 3 posts including this one. For this card I am featuring the sailboats. My next big adventure is learning to sail!

Picture Perfect Birthday

It is summer and the stamping is easy around here. I am spending my free time stamping away and posting when I have a stack of cards ready. This one is from the Picture Perfect Birthday set. It is a fun stamp set and perfect for so many birthday cards.

Wild About You

I am making my 'wish list' for the new catalog and will definitely get the framelets to match this set. I did not see where they could be pre-ordered so I will have to get them separately along with the cute DSP to go with this set.

Lilypad Lake

We have been spending a lot of 'free time' kayaking on the lake near our home. We have lots of egrets and ducks and lily pads. I could not resist this set when it showed up in the new catalog and I will be showing lots using this set I am sure!

I just realized that this card also fit in to the Paper Players challenge for the week so I submitted it also. Such fun! I am truly loving this stamp set.

Swirly Bird in the new In Colors

Today I saw the new Paper Players challenge and since I was wanting to use my Swirly Bird set I decided why not. I always challenge myself to make at least one card using all the In Colors for the year and this one fits the bill.

I like to think of all my cards as being Clean & Simple and it features a bird so why not?  

Thanks for dropping by and have a fantastic day!

Sheltering Tree

This was quick card for a good friend. We all just finished our VBS and they went out and got my hubby a gift card to show their appreciation for all his hard work! It is so nice to be appreciated!

Enjoy Life

I did a water color wash on glimmery white card stock to make this card. It takes a little practice, especially with the new ink pads but it is still very doable.

High Tide (fancy fold)

I made this card the other day for my husband's father's day card. We are loving anything about the sea, light houses, fish, beach etc... I think he will get a kick out of the 'not so average' fold on this card.

Lilypad Lake with no egrets!

OK, so that was so bad! I am again showing the sailboats for  this quick card,. The hardest part of this card was the ribbon behind the sentiment!

One Final Beautiful You card

I did one more card while I had this stamp set out and it turned out so pretty. I stamped the focal point on water color paper and used my pens to color her in. The rest is layering and layout. So pretty!

A Case of Beautiful You

I saw this one on Pinterest and I loved it. Of course, it was done by one of my favorite CAS stampers, Mary Brown. I used different colors but the same image. I also used the new clear epoxy shapes for the raindrops.

Beautiful You

Another stamp set that survived this years cuts was Beautiful You. It is so pretty with so many images. I will be showing this stamp set for my next 3 cards including this one.  This one is so simple. I used a pretty DSP and stamped over it.

Love What You Do in Call Me Clover

This was another quick and easy card. I used only the new In color "Call Me Clover" and Momento Black. A little stamping, stamping off and ribbons and you have a pretty little card.

Best Birds Again

Still using up retired DSP from 2 years ago. I came across this paper and decided it needed a little bird in the wood. I miss my pines from Georgia. I have a mama bird feeding the little one.

Best Birds

I have now moved on to the Best Birds portion of my blog. Love these little birds. I also love the background that comes with that set. I made a pretty Coastal Cabana colored bird (see have coast on my mind).
