Best Thoughts Hostess Card - FMS190

Posting another one of my samples for my upcoming All Occcasion Stamp-a-Stack.  

I am loving this sketch posted over at Freshly Made Sketches.    I decided to make two different cards with new stamps sets from the 2015-2016 Annual Catalog.    The first one is using a Hostess Set (Best Thoughts) and the second one is using the You've Got This stamp set.   

Best Thoughts:  I hand cut the butterfly and used a dimensional to make it "pop" off the flower.   I also watercolored the flower after stamping in Memento Ink (Black).  I love the Memento Ink -- it will not bleed with water or alcohol based inks. . . it's my "go to black".    

If you haven't purchased the Banner Triple Punch, it is a MUST HAVE!!    With a simple "squeeze" you can make perfect banners measuring 1", 1-1/2", and 2" wide.   Item# 138292 $23.00

Hope you enjoy my project!

Open Sea Masking Card

Almost forgot to post my last sample for my upcoming classes.   This is a modified case card from Pinterest (sorry forgot who made the original).    This card is very simple to make but just LOVE the final product.  I added a crumb cake card base where the original used Very Vanilla.   

Masking doesn't always have to be used with a stamp and/or image.   You can mask over a portion of your cardstock and sponge/stamp inside or around the masked area.  Don't you love this technique?  

I think my Stampin Ladies will really enjoy making this card.   I typically do not make two masculine cards in one class, but I just HAD to make this card.  Are you as excited as I am that The Open Sea stamp set is not retiring?!?!?  :)  They will have a choice of making it Father's Day, Birthday or Thank you card.   Another reason I like this card, very easy to change the occasion.  

Hope you enjoy my project!

Work of Art Flourishes Card

Another one of my samples for my upcoming classes this weekend.    I am adding a "quick-n-simple" card to my monthly classes.   This card should take only a few minutes to make, versitile with colors, stamps, and/or occasion.    I decided to go with my "brights" for this card; wanted to bring some sunshine to my friends day with this Thank You and Birthday card.    You can also use subtles if you are in  need of a Sympathy or Get Well card too.    

I used the sentiments from Blooming with Kindness (on the retirement list).  This is a MUST HAVE stamp set. . . if you don't have it yet I would definitely consider purchasing, you will NOT be disappointed.  I am very sad to see it go, but I will still continue making cards with it!  :)   Clear#126422 $16.95 or Wood#131961 $17.21 (on sale).  

Hope you enjoy my Project!
