Second Annual Card Swap - Get Well Soon


I like how these turned out. I did these for another theme for TexasTam's swap on my favorite MB. I love these girl stamps without the heads! They always have the best sentiments come with them! The sentiment I reserved for inside and it says "A hug to ease your Cough and sneeze" and since they are clear stamps I was also able to line up ""feel Better Soon" directly under that so it looks as though it was one stamp! LOVE IT! (said in a Wheezie-from Dragon Tails-voice.) The background I did with Stampin' Up's Texture plates, then I sanded them down a bit. A little note about the texture plates. If you want a more defined image, spritz the cardstock with rubbing alcohol before embossing it! I then used my handy piercing tool that slides into my new scoring tool. The images was stamped on watercolor paper, and I used my watercolor crayons from Stampin' Up to color it along with my blending pens.

Christmas in July - Christmas tree


NOTE: Looks like I made a mistake when posting this earlier this week, so here it is again with the CORRECT picture! Sorry friends!

Here's another for the Christmas in July swap. The theme here was wreaths, trees, etc. I used my Stampin' Up Photo Corner punch to punch out the "branches" of the tree from paper that I have had...forever. Then I used these cute little buttons to make ornaments. Then a little star punch on top, and a trunk for the tree. EASY Peasy! The background was done using a music background punch (which you have probably seen before-see Vintage Christmas). I love how the punch makes trees so easy!
