Hello

I created this card for JR's last challenge. Alas I had too many things going on and never got it posted but I do love it. I used the JR hydrangea which I colored with my Copics. The sentiment is from JRs alpha set too. The background is a Cuttlebug embossing folder and the punch is a Kreaxions punch.

I stamped the flowers twice so that I could cut some seperately and add to the card with pop dots. Once I had the flowers colored, I used my Nestabilities to create the labels and my Kreaxions punch for the border.




Supplies:
Cardstock: Bazzill
Embossing: Cuttlebug
Die cuts: Spellbinders, Nestabilities
Stamps: Justrite

Spring

It has been such a lousy winter this year. We have seen more snow than I can ever remember, and I am so ready for spring. Since we won't see spring for awhile yet, I decided to create a card to get me in the mood for spring. I used my beloved Kreaxions punch 901 for the border under my stamped image and then used the punched butterflies for some added dimension.



Happy spring!!!

myStampBOX

The Mention It stamp set from myStampBOX is a compilation of phrases that can be used for every occasion. This stamp set is a must have with phrases such as just for you, love u, happy day, best wishes, etc.

Best Wishes is perfect for birthday cards, wedding cards or graduation cards. The letters are surrounded by fun shapes which adds to the fun look of this sentiment.



Get well soon is a must have for anyone who needs a little cheering up. Pairing that with a ribbon stamp from Graphic Borders and you have a very unique card indeed.



Just for you - ahh, what a wonderful sentiment that can be use for anything at all!!!

Happy Birthday

I can't believe that my son turns 16 today!!! Where has the time gone????

Using some new stamps from myStamp BOX, I created this fun birthday card.

I used the new Pennants stamp set, using the plain pennants for the numbers. I stamped the happy birthday pennant and added it to the card with pop dots and then used a sentiment from the Mention It stamp set on the strip.




On the inside I used the new Graphic Borders stamp set, which are a really fun addition to the myStampBOX collection. These borders can be joined to make them as long as you need them. I chose to stamp the border on the blue paper, then cut around it and mounted it on the yellow paper for a funky look. Another stamp from the Mention It stamp set was used as the interior sentiment.
