Whoopie!!!

I bought this stamp set in Columbia, MO. about 100 miles from home. It was a little shop right next to the highway with no customers but me. I felt like I had to buy something so I decided to try this stamp.  OMG, I got a great result with very little effort! It's made by a company called Rubbernecker Stamps and their website is http://www.rubbernecker.com. You know, I love Altenew's floral stamps but they are labor intensive and time consuming. It's nice to know that I have this one as sort of a back up when I want a nice flower but not a lot of time to create one.

Succulent Stamps

I got this fun stamp set for Mothers Day from my wonderful daughter. Today was my first chance to play with it and I must say I love it. I used scraps for the whole thing in addition to stamping some extras for later use. I will have to see if there are dies for this set because the fussy cutting took a good while. Here is the card I made. I'm looking forward to using this set again soon. Thanks for stopping by!

Antique Hanky Card

I am hosting the Monday challenge over at We Craft Cards.com.  I had been wanting to make a hanky card for a long time. I even bought some hankies at an antique mall but I had been unable to find a paper that would work. Lucky for me, I found this beautiful Pion paper at Vintage KC. The owner, Rene', stocks great papers for vintage work! My friend asked me to make a Mother's Day card for her 91 year mother in law so I went to work. Here is the result:

                                                              

She was thrilled with the card and is sure her mother in law will love it. If you like vintage things, this will be a fun card to try. There are some on Pinterest if you need more inspiration.
