Oh, I had a blast last night stamping and although I went to bed with a hand cramp from adhering 24 of these mini Zva crystals on my flower, I love how it turned out!!! I managed to make 2 of these cards, both with the same layout & colors, but just a little different elements.I did this card as a dual challenge. First it was for our weekly blogger's challenge to create a birthday card. Second, I'm trying to participate in a few of the Anni-Verve-Sary Challenges over on the SCS Forum and this was one of the sketches.
I received an order of stamps & paper this week from Eclectic Paperie (who are AWESOME!) and it included some of the new Our Craft Lounge stamps as well as more paper. This is the first
time I've used Our Craft Lounge stamps and I love them. They are packaged very nicely and the stamps made a nice crisp image so I was thrilled. I ordered 2 sets, one being the Fueled by Caffeine which I had to have after seeing this card by Pam Hooten. Funny thing is I don't like coffee and I don't drink it either but I loved the cups!!! Same with this set, the Thankful Flourishes, I *love* the flower!!! The other stamps in the set are an added bonus but I was sold on the flower alone.Join us by creating a birthday card and posting in any of the blogger's challenge participants with the link. We'd love to see what you create. You can see all the others creations by clicking on the Blogger's Challenge logo on the right hand side of the page.
Make sure tomorrow to check out Clear & Simple Stamps for their August release of 11 new stamp sets. You'll surely find a few that you have to add to your stamp collection.
