same card different occasions

As you have seen on my blog the base for this card was a 3x3 note that was a make and take from a SU regional.  I had been sharing this at my workshop.  The flowers are in the mini catalog and are very vanilla to start.  You can die them to be any color you want!  So I had some card stock cut and Darrell needed a sympathy card so I made it in to that and then I decided to make several different occasional cards with the same beginning. 

 I also used different embossing folders to get a different look too.  This is really a easy card and by coloring the stamp with your Markers you get a water color "artsy" look.  I like that feeling of "artsy" Hope you'll take time to relax and just stamp!  There is power in that!

A Chance to Play

 Yesterday I had a chance to just Play in my Stamproom.. I wasn't designing for any class or prepping anything so I just started stamping.  If you know me at all I loved Paperdolls as a child and so I started dressing these girls.

This is how it all turned out.  Once it was made I cut card stock to make several more.  This is the "Sew Suite" stamp set from the Mini Catalog along with the "You're a gem" for the sediment  Stamped the tape measure on the seam binding and it looked so real.  Not an original idea.. Saw it done on Stampers Showcase ( a great perk in being a SU Demo)
