Today I have this card that I made using our Oh Happy Day stamp set.  I just love the Oh Shoot sentiment that is in this set.  I swiped the base of the card with Delicata Gold Ink and colored the arrow image with it as well.  It is so pretty in person.

Thinking of You

Inspiration from Heather!

Heather created this sweet card using our Simply Tags: Everyday stamp set and coordinating die.  I love the way she curved and stamped the dashed lines on the background.  It is cute, simple and to the point.  :)

Bravo and Thanks

Today we have Heather with this pretty card using our Oh Happy Day and Ikat Additions stamp sets.  The combination of the two stamp sets is fun and unexpected.  Who wouldn't want to receive this encouraging card?

I really like how JJ used the die from Simply Tags: Everyday to create the tag frame on this next card.  She stamped an image from Papel Picado Banners as well.  So creative.

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

Oh Yeah and Papel Picado Banners

Today we have Maska with this lovely layout using our Oh Yeah stamp set and coordinating dies.  I love the modern nautical feel that she created.  As usual the combination of patterns and textures is spot on!

 Miriam created this layout using our Papel Picado Banners stamp set.  I love how she stamped the images in pastel colors to make it perfect for these sweet springtime pages. Beautiful!

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

Papel Picado and Party Animal Inspiration

Today we have Chunyuan with this fun Party Animal card. I love how she stamped the images repeatedly in different colors and offset the front panel.

Kasia created this card using our Papel Picado Banners stamp set.  Her idea to cut down the banner images into small squares is brilliant.  I adore the look - clean, graphic and bold.

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

Stripes and more stripes!

Today we have Donna with these fun and graphic tags.  She stamped the stripes from our Texture Tiles: Be Cool stamp set onto the tag base and embellished them with our Petals and Stems stamps and dies.  I love the way she tied the whole look together by using black and white twine.

Nina created this card using our Oh Yeah dies and Texture Tiles: Be Cool.  I love how she made the largest speech bubble look like a rounded rectangle mat on this card.  What a great way to stretch these dies.

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

Love You Party Animal

Today we have JJ with this fun card using our Celebrate and Party Animal balloon stamp sets.  I love her stamped background and how the balloon is coming out of the page. 

Heather created this card using Oh Happy Day and Texture Tiles: Be Cool.  One of the great things about Texture Tiles is the many uses that it has.  You can use the images alone or use them to created additional depth and texture for stamps you already own. This is exactly what Heather has done here by "kissing" or stamping the patterns onto inked up solid stamp images.  I love sets that are so versatile.  Be sure to check out Heather's blog for more details!

Simply Tags: Everyday Inspiration

Today we have our fabulous guest designer, Miriam Prantner, with this sweet love card using our Simply Tags: Everyday stamp set and coordinating tag die.  I love the way she combined the bold background stripes with the soft patterned paper.  They play off each other so well.

Maska created this pretty package by stamping a background using the circle from Modern Leaves and the stars from our Party Animal stamp set.  This is a great way to get even more use out of our stamp collections.  The double tag from our Simply Tags: Everyday stamp and coordinating dies is the perfect finishing touch.

 Maska also created this card using Simply Tags: Everyday.  I just love the depth, texture and dimension that she uses in all of her projects. 

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

A Sympathy & Mi Casa Es Su Casa card

Today we have Kasia with this pretty sympathy card using flowers and a sentiment from our Oh Happy Day stamp set.  I love how she stamped the background stripes from our Knotty stamp set at an angle.

Chunyuan created this festive card using our Papel Picado Banners stamp set.  She created this single layer card with a bit of masking and I think it is so fun! I love the Mi Casa Es Su Casa sentiment.
