It was a busy stamping weekend but I can't share
anything with you yet.  I have a Summer Pool Party
Saturday morning so I was designing for that and
my club classes Tuesday & Wednesday nights.
So, I found this fabulous card from a fellow demonstrator.
I did play with the Seaside Shore stamp set for
my event so thought it was fitting for today's card.
SeasideShe started with a Mint Macaron card base.
They she added a layer of the By the Shore
designer paper.  She added more designer paper
by attaching squares of it on to Dapper Denim squares.
She stamped the anchor with Dapper Denim and
attached that square to a scallop square of Calypso Coral.
The squares were cut with the Layering Squares framelits.
The final touch — she used the Thoughtful Banner Bundle
with Dapper Denim and Calypso Coral ink to make the
"celebrate" banner.

Pretty Kitty

I’m not usually a cat or dog stamp lover.
When the Annual Catalog debuted last month
I saw this year’s cat stamp set — wait it’s not a
cat, it’s a kitty stamp set — Pretty Kitty and it
is adorable.  I finally gave in and ordered it and
decided it was the perfect stamp set for my
Pop of Pink Class.  I used the Pop of Pink
designer papers as the starter when I designed
this card — lots of color, quick and easy.
Once I stamped the image I used a Blender Pen
and stamp pads to color my kitty and flowers.
It is pretty “cutesy” but I love how it turned out.
