Try Stamping on Tuesday.

Come on over and play along with us this week on the Try Stamping on Tuesday Blog!   
Here is our sketch:




 
And my design team sample....
 
I seem to use this set a lot on Tuesdays??  Wonder why?  I think it works so well with so many different sketches.  It is a really easy stamp to work with--it does not seem to matter what part of the butterfly is showing it always looks good--maybe it is because I love butterflies?

Stamps:  Swallowtail,  Sweet Essentials
Paper: Pool Party, Whisper White, Soho Subway dp
Ink: basic Black
Other: markers, ribbon, button

Happy today!
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Try Stamping on Tueday!

I am so loving my butterfly stamp--once I finally inked it up I am finding it so easy to make quick and pretty cards.  Today is one of those....





Stamps: Swallowtail, Sweet Essentials
Paper: Island Indigo, Very Vanilla, SoHo Subway DP
Ink: Island Indigo
Other :rhinestone and my favorite candy dots!
 
Pretty clean and simple design--of course the sketch is from our Try Stamping on Tuesday challenge.  Here is this week's sketch...

Fun sketch, although it really made me think again--I think it is the swirls that we have on many of the recent sketches that make them feel hard to me.  I don't have images like that and always have to try to figure out what to do to utilize that area.  But this time I went with plain old candy dots--once I get past the swirls I am all set, lol!  Come on over and play along--or just see what others have done with the sketch!

Enjoy the HOT day!  Love it, spent the day at the beach yesterday--and I am like a french fry today, lol!

Fast and Beautiful!

I am so excited to finally play with this set--although I only made one card so far it was crazy easy and absolutely beautiful!  I love it.  I am sure if you are a reader of my blog you are aware that I love butterflies so it is pretty incredible to realize I have had this stamp for quite some time but have not used it.  Too busy with DT and Tutorial duties, lol!  Anyway here is my first card--and I love it!





I am so obsessed with the Pool Party color I can not seem to make a card without adding it somewhere--and I especially love it with the Island Indigo as it is paired up with here.  I added a touch of Black to make things pop a bit!

Stamps: Swallowtail, Sweet Essentials
Paper: Pool Party, Whisper White
Ink: Island Indigo, Basic Black
Other: black marker and my favorite candy dots!

Sorry for all the short posts this week--I have been camping all week and did all these post before leaving.  Hope I am basking in the sun and not swimming in the rain puddles!
Either way it is time spent with my son and I am loving it!
