I’ve been gone too long! The last month has had some challenges and I wasn’t able to sit and create, at all. I have a Big Shot class on Tuesday so I spent yesterday creating some projects. This is one of them using the cute new owl punch. It is so much fun to use and the little owl will always look different with every card you make! I used the Scallop Square Bigz die. The white part of the card lifts up and sits on the square scallop. I got the inspiration for this design from Andrea Walford’s blog. I also used the square lattice embossing folder. I like the look but sometimes when I use that folder my project doesn’t lay as flat as I would like but it sure is cute. The sentiment is from one of the level 2 Hostess stamp sets called Apple Blossom.
Thanks for stopping by! I hope to be posting again in the next several days since I made several cards this weekend.

I have received my shipment of new items from the catalog but I haven’t had a chance to create anything yet! I am hoping to play will all of my new fun stuff today. I am most excited about the pearls and rhinestones!! If you missed them, they are on page 188 in the new catalog!
Here is a card I made several weeks ago for a workshop. It uses the Island Oasis Designer Paper from the Summer Mini. I love this paper and will be sad when it goes away on August 31st. The stamp set I used was Tropical Party. It is a very quick and easy card to make except that you have to cut the flowers out which really goes pretty quickly. I popped up the top flower and the one on the right with dimensionals. Thanks for stopping by! I am off to play with my stamps!

Today’s card was made with a set from the Summer Mini catalog called Watercolor Trio. It is so easy to make a card that is beautiful with this set. In person it really is very pretty. I used my Stampin’ Write markers in Old Olive, Rose Red and Elegant Eggplant. After coloring the stamp with the markers, I huffed on them and then stamped. I have the clear mount set which it made it easy to see exactly where I wanted to stamp. I was able to make the card very quickly. When you use the markers, each card will turn out differently and be unique! I got my inspiration for this card and the card I will post tomorrow from Pennie McCallum. You can see her card here.
