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.

Diorama Card

These are easier to make than you would think. If you haven't tried it, you really should. The papers are Graphic 45's Portrait of a Lady. The card is for my Granddaughter who is beautiful inside and out.

                                                                

                                                                

                                                                 

How Does This Happen?

I'm surprised that no alarms went off as I walked out of Hobby Lobby this morning. I didn't know that the register would even print out such a small amount. Definitely a first for me!

                                                               

We Craft Cards Challenge

Our Monday challenge this week, Holey Cow, Batman!, was hosted by Golda. The challenge was to make a card with a hole in it. I used my Altenew Henna Elements stamps to create this card.

                                                         

New Toy

I finally bought a hexagon punch. I have the hexagon Spellbinders but that requires a lot of running through the Big Shot to get a handful of hexagons. It was half off at Michael's so I went for it. These are the cards I made using a Heidi Swapp paper pad.
