Charming Sentiments

Charming Sentiments is such an awesome stamp set with coordinating dies. The dies cut around the sentiments close and in the shape of the words. It's kind of a cool look that is fun to play with.

I started with Basic Gray card base and added a layer of Basic White, Basic Gray and Basie White. The top white layer has strips of Cherry Cobbler, Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry, and Old Olive. The colors make a great background for the greeting.

Seaside Bay Scrapbook Pages

I made these pages this spring when this designer series paper was current. It has since retired but the stamp set and dies are still available. I used these pages for my scrapbooking class this spring too. I run this class every month on the fourth Monday.

Taco Fiesta

Yummm...I love Mexican food! Because I love Mexican food, I knew that I would need this set in my stamp room. 

This card has a simple layout but I have to admit that it took me a while to get the measurements down so that the Granny Apple Green and Real Red was the correct sizes to have a bit of the Basic White showing between them. I stamped the lime on the Granny Apple to add some texture to the card. The center panel is on dimensionals as well as the hat on the cactus.

Night Divine

Have you seen the Night Divine bundle? I am in LOVE! I love nativity sets and now I have a fantastic die set too! The bundle consists of a great stamp set that has several Christian Christmas greetings and the nativity dies. You can add on the the Star of Light bundle for some more wonderful images, some star dies, and a great star embossing folder.

I  don't normally like to do black Christmas cards but I believe this one works! The card base is Basic Black. I embossed the Basic White piece with the Stars at Night embossing folder after I stamped the greeting with Memento ink. I die cut the camel from Basic Black, Basic Gray, and Smoky Slate. In person, this doesn't look so trippy as it does on this picture!

Happy Hedgehogs

This little guy is so stinking cute! I think he is adorable and therefore, hard to make an ugly card with it. Maybe that should be the next challenge, to make an ugly card. Hmm...I don't think I really want that challenge. More fun creating cute things!

The cherry blossom tree in the Happy Hedgehogs stamp set is so simple and pretty. I stamped the butterfly multiple times on the background of the Pool Party cardstock. The hedgehog was stamped with Pecan Pie on Pecan Pie cardstock.
