Stampin' Success CASE

This is the photo I found in Stampin' Success May 2010.

And this is my version using Pink Piroutte,Vanilla, Perfect Plum, Early Espresso.  I also used Artistic Etchings stamp set and the color spritzer tool.

I hope your day is filled with Amour!

One Sheet Wonder Swap Cards

This past summer I was in a One Sheet Wonder Swap, where you repeatedly stamp a whole sheet of cardstock, in effect, creating your own patterned paper.  The sheet can then be cut into pieces and used in a variety of ways on cards.  So I started making Valentine Cards for our military people and used some of my sheets.    The last is my favorite.  Although I don't own the stamp set used for the background, I found the I Heart Hearts stamp set looked great with it.  I am anxious to get back to stamping and use up the other sheets.  Have a blessed day!
