Revisiting “Tiny Flags”

Happy Monday! I had so much fun using the Tiny Flags background stamp in this post that I decided to make some more cards with it. 🙂

For my first card, I paired a clear-embossed background with a die cut from the My Favorite Things “Celebrate” set for a black-and-white card.

Following the double-stamping technique shown by Jennifer McGuire with the Tiny Flags stamp in this post, I created another card pairing a double-stamped background and another die cut from the MFT set. I used a Stamp-a-ma-Jig to help line up the stamp when I shifted it for the second impression.

Poppystamps New Release: Yee-Haw!

Today, I’m sharing another card created with dies from the new Poppystamps release.

Poppystamps New Release: Yee-Haw!I wanted to create a masculine birthday card with the Galloping Stallion as the focus. I used the Happy Birthday die for a tone-on-tone background. The “yee-haw” sentiment was created on my computer. I die-cut the Superstar Border several times to create a few accent stars.

Supplies: Poppystamps Galloping Stallion 996, Happy Birthday Background 990, Superstar Border 912

Poppystamps New Release: Congrats!

This week and next, the Poppystamps Design Team is showing off the new Poppystamps release with a Blog Blitz. Today, I’m sharing a card created with one of the new Memory Box stencils, combining it with die cuts from Poppystamps, including the new Barnyard Rooster.

Poppystamps New Release: Congrats!I dry-embossed the stencil and used its reverse side as a background on my card to simulate chicken coop wire. I created the “Congrats!” sentiment on my computer. The inside sentiment reads “That’s something to crow about!”

Happy Winter

Today I’m sharing a seasonal card celebrating winter as I transition from making holiday cards, which isn’t easy! It seems as if I’ve been making holiday cards for months at this point.

Happy Winter

This card came together quickly with the use of die cuts and an embossing folder background. The sentiment is a retired Savvy stamp, which I die cut with the smallest die from the MFT tag set.

Hope you’re enjoying these last few days of 2013!
