Stamp a Stash for Friends

Here is another card we made at our Stamp a Stash this weekend.  So easy and so beautiful and can be made ahead without a sentiment so that just the right sentiment can be added when needed.

Recipe:
Whisper White Thick Cardstock - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"
Soft Suede - 4" x 5 1/4"
Whisper White - 3 3/4" x 5"

Stamps - Healing Hugs, Love What You Do
Ink:  Rococo Rose, Mossy Meadow, Memento Black

Start by stamping the rose onto a post it note with as much sticky under the stamp as possible.  I recommend stamping the post it with a color OTHER than the one you plan to use on the card.  This will make it easier to see when using the post it as a mask.  Cut out the rose from the post it with your paper snips.

Stamp the rose onto the lower corner of the Whisper White - I used Rococo Rose, let it dry and then place the post it over the stamped rose, but don't cover the rose exactly.  Move the post it down just a tad, maybe 1/16th to 1/8th of an inch.  Then when you stamp the leaves, there won't be a blank edge.  Trust me, you'll want to do this for perfect stamping!

Thank you for looking in today!  Have a Blessed Sunday!

Beautiful Friendship

Time to restock my thank you cards.  I made a bunch of these tonight and I'm really happy with how they came out.  Three cheers for my Stamp-a-ratus!  Made everything so easy to put together.  I started with Melon Mambo and then Highland Heather.  The leaves were stamped by hand randomly with Granny Apple Green.

Look at the envelope!  I really like the added color to the envelope.  Who says you have to have pretty Designer Series Paper to dress it up a bit.  Just stamp and go!

Recipe:
Highland Heather - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"
Whisper White - 4" x 5 1/4" (cut two - one for inside)

Stamps: Beautiful Friendship and Love What You Do 
Inks: Highland Heather, Melon Mambo, Granny Apple Green, Memento Black

Thank you for looking in today!  Happy Thursday!

Cow's It Going - Swap Card

I just had to share this adorable card from my upline Lorri Heiling.  This was from our team swaps last Monday July 1st. 

I still love this sweet set with these fun cows!  Even better, we have another stamp set that makes a perfect cow background!  Love What You Do (page 143 of the Annual Catalog - 148042).  Look how perfect the spots are!

Recipe:

Real Red - 4 1/4" x 8 1/2, scored and folded at 4 1/4"

Whisper White - 4" x 4" - Stamp with spots from "Love What You Do"

Real Red - 2 5/8" x 2 5/8" (die cut with Stitched Shapes Square)

Basic Black - 2 3/4" x 2 3/4"

Whisper White - 2 5/8" x 2 5/8" (die cut with Stitched Shapes Square)

Whisper White - 4" x 4" (inside)

I love the cow stamped half way off the page.  She's traveling to the front of the card to see her friend!  Too Cute!

Thank you Lorri for this adorable card!  Thank you all for looking in today!
