I am a "happy stamper"…as my order came!!! WOOT-WOOT!!! If there is someone out there that can tell me a secret in how to find a day that has….say….28 hours – I would love to know the magic!
Working full time and knowing that on my steps are going to be boxes of gems…and I still need to take care of animals and dinner and ( it was The Voice Night!!!) I say…Calgon take me away!!! I knew the 1st card I was going to make…was going to be the 1st Stamp Set in the NEW catalog – Cycle Celebration!!! Always best to start at the beginning…especially since it is a keeper!!!
This card came together with the help of 3 stamp sets…Road to Happiness, Zoo Babies ( soooo darn tootin' cute!), and Cycle Celebration! Super cute…right!!! I knew that my 1st card with the new catalog I wanted to start with the bicycle….as we are on a great "road race….or should I say a marathon with this super catalog!!!!"
I wanted to use as many of the new goodies I could get my hands on as I knew I would not be able to open everything tonight and I was super happy with the end result! I love using the watercolor paper and I love using the aqua painter! I am a happy camper!
Again….the stamp-a-ma-jig was my treasured friend for this card…..if someone hid this tool from me…I would be lost! I used it for the placement of everything! That dear little bird wouldn't be sitting on that bike so cute !
There are so many favorites of mine with this new catalog and I know that I will add more to my list once I get "quality" time to play with everything….but the CANDY DOTS.…are simply the BOMB!!! So easy to use both with the brad…or alone – just as I did them with this card….they are super and one that you just must order in every color collection!
Another fun thing I did was to make the embossed lines across the Tangerine Tango Card Stock ….using the Simply Scored Tool - a quick an easy way to create texture! Naturally the Stampin Dimensionals made a front and center appearance as always!
The new 3/4" Chevron Ribbon is soooo easy to work with! I must say….I was a bit bummed with not having more additions to the ribbon collections and I thought that this was too wide and was going to be hard to work with….but I was wrong!
And the best for last….I love envelopes and this NEW Designer Series Paper is a must!!! Each and every color collection – it is fun, it is fresh, it is the perfect accent to bring "Plain Jane to WOW" Today, I decided to love the outside of my envelope!!! Super cute and I am sure the mailman will smile!
I thank you for being sooooo incredible in "POPPING" by the Blog Hop yesterday! WOW – it was wonderful, wasn't it! There is so much talent out there and it is always a joy to see others works of art! We are all very blessed to have the resources and availability we have with looking at so many different talented pieces of work!
Have a super day….please email me if you need me….please click here to shop away….and please tell your friends to sign up for my daily blogs….I love inspiring you!
Until tomorrow!
I enjoyed your card. I love that little bird and the bicycle is soo cute!
So glad you received your order! Love your card and want you to know you have inspired me to use the stamp a ma jig. I didn’t get it at first but you had a great video link months ago and now I am hooked as well. Enjoy your day.
I know the issues with working full time & trying to stamp. I love to see each new creation you come up with, then have to work more so I can buy more 🙂
Have an awesome day.
OMG, Susan… this is darling! A CASE for certain! I had not seen the Cycle Celebration used yet. Must admit, it is still on my wish list! Not much longer!!
No way! How STINKIN’ cute is that. Love that little guy and who would have thought to put him on the bicycle. Thanks for the smile and for sharing. Nicely done!
Beautiful card Susan! If you figure out how to get more hours int he dya let me know….I was up til 5:30 AM making cards to give as a gift. I need a nap but have company coming for dinner. All I want to do it stamp!!!! LOL
I really appreciate your detailed written instructions. Here’s hoping and wishing that you soon advance to videos!
Super cute! I hadn’t even noticed the little toucan in the set! Sort of reminds me of Kermit the frog on the bike in the movie! I can’t believe all the stamping you get done! I work full time and have a very needy basset hound (plus a husband) and I hardly get any stamping done!
beautifully done!!!!
love how you designed it.
