Hi Everyone, You know that feeling when you see a stamp set you're so absolutely in love with that you think you're heart will break if you don't get it? Well, that's how I felt about Mama Elephant's Dandelion Wishes stamp set. The images in this set are so ridiculously cute and I love the beauty behind the idea of making wishes on the Dandelion seeds --- who didn't do that as a kid?!

Hi Everyone, If you are looking for a beautiful and sweet stamp set then I think Mama Elephant's Wish Upon a Star stamp set is one of the best/sweetest out there. I love the adorable bunny images and the sentiments with their beautiful mix of fonts - really pretty! For today's project, I decided to make two cards using two of the images in the stamp set. Since both cards are made the same way I'll explain the details once since it would be boring to read the same thing twice. ...
Hi Crafty Friends, So, I have a confession to make, every summer I say to myself 'you don't need any more summer themed stamp set. You already have so many cute ones. This year you will NOT buy any more!' And guess what? Every year the stamp companies outdo themselves and I simply have to buy at least 1 or 2 (or 200) more stamp sets. HA! This year Mama Elephant's Summer Splash stamp set stole my heart and I just had to have it. I absolutely love their stamps! Card Design This card design ...
Hi Crafty Friends, I am completely in love with Simon Says Stamp's Picture Book dies - they are so cute and add so much interest to any card. So, when I saw the Ink Blot Shop's Botanical Borders stamp set I thought it would be perfect to use with Simon's picture book characters. Images and Coloring For this card, I decided to use Simon Says Stamp's Hippo, Monkey, and Koala picture book dies. I die cut each character out of Neenah Solar White, 110 lb, cardstock and colored them with Copic ...
Hi Crafty Friends! To create today's card I used one of my favorite stamp sets Simon Says Stamp's Beautiful Flowers. This set is gorgeous and besides featuring stunning floral images it also has many fantastic sentiments. Card Design Inspiration One of my favorite card designers, Yana Smakula, shared the technique of stamping images and then coloring the entire background using Copic markers. I decided to give this technique a try but instead of using a color marker I decided to use black ...

With these thoughts in mind, I wanted to create a fun summer themed card using the super amazing Sunny Studio's Fabulous Flamingos stamp set. This set is sooooo CUTE!

Hi Everyone, I'm completely in love with Clearly Besotted's Baby Love stamp set - it has the cutest images of little critter families and is ideal for making sweet baby cards.
