{Stamp Simply}Elephant Smiles


Hi everyone!

Did you think I dropped off the face of the earth?  Nope, just made a flying trip to see my daughter before she starts college next week.  I thought this card would be appropriate for her!  I used the adorable Collectable die cuts from Kaisercraft for my elephant and tulip and popped them up over a matted sentiment from JustRite's Black Eyed Susan set.  The enamel dots are by My Mind's Eye and add just a little pop of color.

Here's my shopping list!

Thanks for stopping by!

{Stamp Simply} Wonderful Friend


Hi everyone!  I was super busy last week filling up my SplitCoast gallery during the DTGD challenges.  I made "queen" status with 49 cards in seven days.  WOW!!  I decided that if I could be that productive with card making, I should try it with home making, too, so this week I've started on some deep Spring Cleaning because I was too busy during the spring.  LOL!  Hopefully I'll get all caught up and then I can work on getting my blog busier as well.  Hmmm.... maybe by fall???  : )

For today's card I pulled out a number of Prima Lady Bird goodies from The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.  I had a paper pack, a set of metal bird paper clips, some washi and fabric tape and then some Prima Laraine roses that all worked together.  I added a pretty JustRite sentiment from the Pansies in Spring set, cut with a JustRite/Spellbinders die, some luscious 1/4" silk ribbon in two different colors, and finished it off with some MME enamel dots.

Here's my recipe...

{Stamp Simply} Butterfly Smiles


I've been having so much fun with the challenges on SplitCoast this week!!  I can't tell you the details of this one, though, because these particular challenges are secret - just for Fan Club members.  You should join!! : )

I had this luscious Pickled Pear paper out on my desk, so I colored a butterfly from the Stitched Flowers set with coordinating Spectrum Noir markers and popped it up over my background made with strips of designer paper, Lacey Circle Diecuts, a punch-out circle from the paper pad and a sentiment from the Black-Eyed Susan set.  I added a smattering of rhinestones for some glitz.

I really, really love using the stitched look stamps that JustRite has available right now. Especially because they look cute even if you don't add a lot of shading to your coloring.  Check them out HERE!!
