Same Sketch ~ Different Stamp

And yet another idea to inspire you. Same design as the fern card but a different stamp used on this one. Dig out all your floral stamps you have not used in awhile and whip up a card today.....its too hot and muggy outside so you might as well create inside.

Our Backroom Blowout Sale is today and tomorrow. It is nice and cool in our classroom so take a fun trip on over to Picture This for some awesome deals.

Thinking of You


And finally the last card from class the other day. The teal Candi was white and I had the students color it with a Copic marker. I love customizing things!! Brads, gems, pearls, ribbon and now Candi. I will post an idea tomorrow using another stamp for an additional idea. 

Don't forget our Fab 5 contest where you can post on our FB wall that ends this week.

And mark your calendars for this Friday and Saturday!! We have our Backroom Blowout Sale and everything will be 50%, 65% and 75% OFF!!!!  Lots of goodies. Hope to see you there.

Distressed fern


This is a 2nd card from class.  I had them distress the white pieces and then stamp the fern and saying on.
And I always try to have an envelope near when creating so that can be stamped to match the card. If you get in the habit of it....you will just do it automatically.

Same Card ~ Different Stamp

This is showing you how you can switch out the stamp easily with the same 'sketch' and still get beautiful results.

Dragonfly


The top card was from class last night. the bottom was the 1st attempt and although it is pretty....I didn't like it with the distressed look. I like the more elegant look on the top card so therefore it was chosen to be one that I taught in class.

Supplies: Cuttlebug sqaure dies, Hero Arts sentiment set and fern, Peeled Paint ink, CS, paper distresser.
 The fern stamp sold out last night so that will no longer be available. But I will be posting a switch in upcoming post.

Fab 5 featuring new Medleys

Goodmorning!!! Are you ready to be inspired today? I hope so since all the Fab 5 girls have been busy behind the scenes creating ideas for this Fab 5. I choose the gazebo from the sheet for my card. And since I have been on a die  craze....I had to throw in some dies as well. The white leafy swirl is a Cheery Lynn die and the red, white and blue flowers are Spellbinders. (they have a blog frenzy going on this week with all their new releases...so after you blog hop to all of our Fab 5....you may want to check out their blog too)

Now be sure to check out all the other Fab 5 girls blogs. Leave comments if you enjoy the inspiration and remember...you can play along too. You have this week to post a new medley idea to the Picture This Facebook page or bring your card/page in and we can photograph it and post it for you. Someone will be lucky enough to have theirs to to CHA with us and be displayed in the McRice booth. 

Another Medley idea

Here is a bonus idea with the same sheet of Medley papers. I used one of my Cheery Lynn butterfly dies and added some gems and then a Spellbinder tag with a saying stamped upon it my Magenta.  Hope you get inpsired by all the Fab 5 Medley ideas. Don't forget to hop on over to the other Fab 5's blogs for more ideas. And you can play along as well.
