A friend loveth at all times

Today's card features three of the newest Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps sets. To create my background, I tore the edges of a piece of white cardstock and randomly stamped flowers and postal images over it. I inked the edges in the same ink to help it stand out from the card base a bit more. The butterfly was stamped in waterproof ink and colored with Arteza Real Brush Pens.

Happy Mother's Day

  I'm up on the Stamp Simply blog today with this bright n cheery Mother's Day card featuring their Coffee or Tea? dies and the Summer Roses stamp set. Instead of using the coordinating die for the roses, I stamped the center rose six times and fussy cut it to form the pretty little bouquet sticking out of my tea cup. (Note: To create the smaller size I cut just the inside of that center rose.)

• Typewritten Year Round Greetings
• Coffee or Tea? Dies

• Crochet Dies (Sizzix - Tim Holtz)

One day at a time

I'm back with another card featuring Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps NEW Delicate Florals and Take Time stamp sets. This time I paired them with a clock face from Time Well Spent and their Delicate Doily die. The text is a free printable from Mel Stampz and the background was created by ink smooshing distress ink on mixed media paper and adding a little texture with white gesso and the Grunge Dots stencil.
