Sweet Stamp Set

Sweet in its design... and sweet for its price! I got it on a used stamp sale for more than half the price. Gotta like that!
-
Made this with dye ink so that I could try out some old Heat 'n' Stick powder I had buried in amongst my glitters, re-inkers, and flocking. It did not work the best, but I kind of liked the antiqued effect I got with the leafing only sticking in certain areas. (Maybe you can see the leafing better by clicking on the image to "embiggen" it. ("Embiggen" is a term I adopted from Carmi.)

My mom and pop should soon recognize this card (sent them a note in it!)

Everyone have a wonderful weekend!

Post for Today...


This is one I put together for my stamping group at church.



This one was for my niece for her birthday. I liked having fun with this glistening zebra print. I am almost out of it now. It is one of those papers that I got 1 sheet of and now wish I had gotten 20... oh well!!!

So Very...

... nice of a stamp set!

I started this card with the ribbon (the white with blue polka dotted strip you see on the card). My mom and pop gave me some ribbon... so I was determined to use it in a thank you card to them. So, what you see is what I came up with. Also, I am having fun with my new scallop circle punch from Stampin' Up! (Heard they are coming out with a scallop border punch soon, too! Excited about that!)
