Free As A Bird

This wonderful Free As A Bird stamp set was one of the first on my wish list when the new catalog debuted!  This really cool Birch background stamp was next..lol!  I’m looking forward to using that more and more...I’m thinking it might make a great “water” background!  This sweet bird image is a great focal point and makes. a super easy card and looks great colored in with Stampin blends!  You can also purchase this sweet stamp set in a bundle with the Stitched Nested Labels Dies and save!  Not only that but purchasing it as a bundle before July 31st gets you a $5 certificate to spend in August!

As always if you have any questions, please contact me!  Happy Crafting!

Bonus Days

Sailing Home 2

Here is a CASE of a card using that same Sailing Home stamp set I used in my previous post.  I cased a card in the Stampin Up catalog on page 144.  This card was so easy!  Notice that beautiful background paper does most of the work and I used a couple of scraps from my last card’s leftovers.  Always save those left overs...lol!  Please excuse the mess on my table...I am still stamping and camping!  Love that this is a hobby I can take “on the road”!  Don’t forget about Bonus Days...you get a $5 certificate for every $50 you spend before July 31st.  The certificate will be good for purchases made in August.

Sailing Home

I apologize for being absent!  I've been super busy this spring/summer.  Right now I'm camping and stamping...LOL!  Just wanted to share this card I made with the new Sailing Home stamp set.  There are so many fun images in this set and I can't wait to play with the rest!  There are also Smooth Sailing dies that coordinate with this set.  If you look closely you will see a ship's wheel tucked behind the sentiment which also happens to be cut from a die in this set.  If you are interested in both be sure to order it as the Sailing Home Bundle as you will save 10%!  That beautiful patterned paper is from the Come Sail Away Designer Series Paper and it is gorgeous!!!  I used one of the stamps on crumb cake paper to make the background image with the birds.  That is always a fun easy way to create your own patterned paper!  The whole month of July are Bonus Days with Stampin Up and that means that for every $50 you spend in product from July 1st to 31st you get a certificate for $5 to spend August 1st through August 31st.  Win!  Win!!

As always, please let me know if you have any questions and Happy Crafting!!
