I love that Heather created two totally different cards for this week.  She used our Oh Happy Day & Petals & Stems stamp sets to create this gorgeous and soft card.  The stitched vellum is the perfect touch.

She used our Oh Yeah, All Squared Up, Simply Tags: Everyday and Air Mail stamp sets to create this bold, graphic and fun card.  This card is right up my alley and I LOVE it!

JJ created this fun card using our Petals & Stems stamp set and dies and Simply Tags:Everyday stamp set and dies.  I love the way she shaded the large bloom and added touches of gold.  Fabulous!

I always seem to have a "new" favorite each month.  So sticking with that theme, I created this card using our Oh Happy Day clear stamp set.  I lightly drew an oval in the center of my card and stamped the flower images included in the set around it.  I flipped a few of the stamps over and stamped with their backside to create the solid flower images.  The For You sentiment fit perfectly inside the stamped oval.  I had a lot of fun creating this card and isn't that what it is all about?!?

Maska created this fun project using our Simply Tags: Everyday, Petals & Stems and Oh Yeah clear stamp sets. I love all of the layers and the negative space she left on this page. 

Our fabulous Guest Designer Jen Rzasa created this using our Modern Leaves stamp set.  It has been such a pleasure having Jen with us this month.  I think that we can all agree that her projects have been beautiful and inspiring!

Heather is with us today and created this stunning card using our Papel Picado Banners clear stamp set.  I love the happy and festive feel of this card.  She masked off some of the images to create a single layer card that has depth.  Brilliant!!

Thanks for stopping by to take a peek. Have a great day!

**We will not be shipping any orders from 6/19/13 through 6/28/13.  Orders placed during this time will resume shipping on Monday 7/1/13.  We appreciate your patience during this time.**  

Today we have a lot of inspiration for you.  Jen Rzasa created these fun cards using our Oh Happy Day clear stamp set.  I love the way the sentiment is raised up onto the tag in this first card.  Such a fun detail.

 The contrast in this next card by Jen is fantastic.  The sentiment pops against the dark background.  So pretty!

Maska created this card using our Party Animal clear stamp set.  The festive balloon animals are so fun.  Who wouldn't love to receive a card like this?

 

I created this last card using our Modern Leaves clear stamps and dies.  I created flower petals to add dimension and highlight my sentiment.  I don't usually use a lot of purple, but am glad that I did here.

Thanks for stopping by to take a peek. Have a great day!

Kasia  is with us today and created this fun card using our Oh Yeah clear stamp set and the coordinating dies.  I love the patterned paper she chose and modern color choices. 

Chunyuan  used our Texture Tiles: Be Cool clear stamp set to create this fun striped background for the boat from our Knotty stamp set.  No masking is necessary here...love that!

Chunyuan also created this fun checked background using Texture Tiles: Be Cool, added some flowers from Petals & Stems and a sentiment from Oh Happy Day.  I love all of the possibilities that our Texture Tiles set provides. 

Thanks for stopping by to take a peek. Have a great day!

Today we have Nina with these fun projects using our Party Animal clear stamp set.  I love how she stamped our little balloon animal on top of one of the stamped tile images from our Texture Tiles: Be Cool set.  Texture Tiles has so many possibilities and I cannot wait to try this myself.

Nina also created this card using the same balloon animal stamp and our Simply Tags: Everyday die that she designed.  SO cute!  I love this little guy so much....I think I just might have to give him some friends sometime in the future.  ;)

Inspiration from Jen and Maska!!

Today we have Jen Rzasa with this terrific card she made using our Modern Leaves clear stamp set.  I love how she embossed with the die to create the subtle outline around each leaf.  That little bit of dimension is the perfect touch.  Be sure to stop by her blog for more details.

Maska has this fun layout using our Ikat clear stamp set  with some Petals & Stems mixed in.  I love the long Ikat borders that she has created here and all of the layers.  So pretty!  Each time I look at this page I notice new and fun little details. :)
