Just Kidding... Again

This stamp set is just so cute I had to use it again for another friend who is having a birthday.  This one is for a man, so I went with simple black and vanilla.

The Designer Series Paper (DSP) is Typeset Speciality Designer Series Paper.  This paper was in the catalog last year and was carried over into this year's Annual Catalog.  It is a great set of paper with so many uses.

Thank you for looking in today.  I hope you have a Blessed Sunday!

Oh To Be ...

... 110 pounds again... ha ha!

Seriously, who even remembers 110 pounds?

I had a request for a funny girlfriend to girlfriend card for a birthday and of course, the first thing that comes to mind is our stamp set "Just Kidding"  Such a fun set for so many uses!

The card base is Mossy Meadow, layered with Whisper White, English Garden Designer Series Paper (DSP) and Fancy Foil Designer Vellum.

I stamped the image on Shimmery White card stock.  I find it is easier to color with our aqua painter and the ink from the inside lid of a stamping pad on the Shimmery paper.

A word of advice, put a glue dot under the gold dots instead of liquid glue.  The gold foil dots "warped" a bit with the glue, so you'll notice the Rhinestones to cover up the oops.  Like I always tell my stampers, "There are no mistakes in crafting, only opportunities for embellishments!"

Thank you for looking in today.

To Stamp or Not To Stamp?

Just Kidding... the answer is always "to stamp"!

I just love this cute new Photopolymer stamp set.  It has so many cute sayings on it and I finally was able to find some time to play with it on Wednesday while I waited for Safelite to come and replace my cracked windshield.  That was a fun adventure.  The technician was a great kid who was fun to talk to and enjoyed having someone to talk to.  He even apologized for talking so much.  It was cute.  Kid is 21 years old with a 4 year old baby and a wife.  Quite impressive young man who is working his way up the ladder.

Sorry, I wandered... on to the card.

I began with Tangerine Tango as a base, then the DSP from Birthday Bash.  I just love this sheet from this series paper, it's so pretty and festive.

The image and sentiment are stamped onto Whisper White.  I admit I colored them with my Blendabilities and even though they are no longer available, it seems silly to me to not use them before they do dry up.  If you have them, use them and love them!  This can also be colored with our Stampin' Write markers or our Blender Pens and ink pads.

 

Inside Whisper White 5 1/4" x 4" the matching sentiment is stamped with Memento Ink.  REMEMBER - DO NOT USE STAZON INK with the PHOTOPOLYMER STAMPS.  The chemical reaction there is not a good one.
