My Happy Stamping Place

Lovely Lily

Sale-a-bration is a favorite time of year in my stamping world.  Free product can be earned by everyone!  Customers, hostesses, new recruits, and demonstrators.  I love when everyone wins!  I've earned my fair share of product from the Sale-a-bration catalog.  So I found myself with the Lovely Lily pad, Lily pad dies, and Lily Impressions designer series paper.  I'll be honest, I don't care for the Lily Impressions designer paper.  So I used the set and dies and took them in a different direction.  I used soft colors and I really love the result!

Admittedly, I used a ton of product on this card.  I just pulled from what I had and kept going.  Lol! All supplies used are below. And as always, you can order the product from my website.

Bermuda Mambo Flowers

Are you a perfectionist?  When it comes to stamping I'm not.  We stampers aren't machines.  We are making hand-made cards.  Whenever something is hand-made whether that be a cookie, a blanket, a card or other item there is going to be some lovely irregularity not a precision made line.  That's part of the beauty of hand-made.  It's perfectly imperfect.  Kind of like people.  You wouldn't believe how many tries it takes sometimes to come up with a card.  The ink smears, it didn't stamp the way I wanted it to or I simply don't like the end design.  This is one of those cards.  It's deceptively simple.  My friend Kathy and I created this card based on one we saw on pinterest and it took us like 5 tries to get it to come out the way we wanted it to.  But that's ok.  I love the process as well as the end result.  And stamping with friends?  Even better.  I hope you will give yourself a little grace when stamping or making any home-made project.  Your recipient will love that it is hand-made. 

And here are the supplies used to make this card.  As always all items can be ordered through my website.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Beautiful blue flowers

I held my Stampin' Up! Open House a few weeks back.  I like to do nice and simple cards for make-n-takes for my customers at my open houses.  The Painted Poppies stamp set is so lovely that I naturally reached for it.  

Just some simple stamping.  We did use the stamparatus to get a continuous group of flowers across the card and to line up the sentiment. The background where the brush strokes of blue are is from a stamp that is in the Painted Poppies stamp set.  Here are all of the supplies used on the card.
