Moon Lake Bird

Last night was my Stamp of the Month Class featuring the Moon Lake stamp set.
This is a fabulous set to work with.  You can keep get very detailed with the images and do lots of pretty watercoloring with plenty of highlights or you can keep it pretty simple like this card.BirdThe card base is Whisper White with a layer of Basic Black.  The top layer is Wild Wasabi that I put through the Stylish Stripes embossing folder.  I used a piece of the White Jute Ribbon from the Occasions Catalog and cut it in half to lay down the center front.  I stamped the Happy Birthday from Crazy About You on a piece of Whisper White cardstock and punched it out with the Note Tag punch.  I added a Black Candy Dot below the words.  I stamped the bird image from Moon Lake using Stazon ink.  Next I used the small blotch from Work of Art and the Wild Wasabi stamp pad.  I inked up the stamp and stamped it three times without reinking, moving the stamp over and up a little.  This is a great look that I saw on Dawn Griffith's blog.  The ladies at class loved the look and simplicity of this card.

Butterfly Hello

There are so many different ways to use the Butterfly Basic stamp set
and the Butterflies Thinlits.
Hello HoneyThis is another swap card that I received that uses the stamps and thinlit.
I love how the creator used the honeycomb stamp for the banners and adding a few small butterflies and flowers.
The butterfly was cut from designer paper which gives it a nice look.
This is a nice clean and simple card — just change the words and this card works for lots of different occasions.

The retiring stamps and accessories list comes out Tuesday, be sure to come back to check it out.

Here's another card made using the Butterflies Thinlit.  I love the lacy look that the doily give this card. Wisteria DoilyThe base of the card is Crumb Cake with a layer of Wisteria Wonder and Blushing Bride that has been embossed on the top half using the Spring Flowers embossing folder.  The Something Borrowed Embellishment is added to the butterfly body.  This is a very sweet and elegant card that anyone would be happy to receive.
