Happy Tuesday! This was such a fun card to make and wow….it was so darn easy! This is one of those that you look at and say …"WHOA" – this looks like a nightmare to line up but it was easy peasy! The color combination was from the Color Coach, I have not blogged about this gem for a while but I simply flipped to Rich Razzleberry and the rest is history.
This star stamp set is called Bordering Blooms and I bet many of you have flipped right past it in the catalog! I must say I did the 1st go-around, but then when I realized that it was a photopolymer stamp….SOLD! (Remember, at the end of the post, you can click directly on the item and it will go right into your shopping cart!)
One item that I do blog often about and TOTALLY believe in it…is the Stamp -a-ma-jig! I knew that I wanted the sentiment "it's YOUR day" which is from the Fabulous Four Stamp Set (one that I have used a bunch and still cannot get enough of it)
I first drew a line in pencil where I wanted the sentiment and then as you can see in the picture using the Stamp-a-ma-jig I was able to get it exactly where I wanted it!
If you have a hard time with this tool…PLEASE email me and I will like to help you. This is a tool that makes you shine! I have helped people with skype…so please, do not hesitate to reach out to me!
Because the stamp is clear…there is no reason for anymore pencil lines or measuring…just have fun stamping away! I did all of the big flowers and then went back and did the little ones all on ONE try! I cannot wait to make this in other color combinations!
This is a note card size and the white that I stamped on is 4 3/4" X 3 1/4" and then the fun pop color is 4 7/8" X 3 3/8"! I adore the size of these cards and find that they are the perfect "go to" for a quick note!
The color scheme started when I picked the liner – it is from the Sweet Taffy DSP and after I picked that – that's when I went to the Color Coach and the rest is history!
That's it…I can hardly wait to try it in other colors and when I do…I'll play "show -n-tell" with you! My mind is going and going….
Thanks for popping in and I hope that this encourages you to try this stamp set…it is one that can be used in so many ways! The 2nd one looks fantastic embossed with versamark on a dark paper!

Good Morning Susan, I really like this card. I have this set on my next order list…so thanks so much for the inspiration. You are so right about the endless color combinations and uses for this card. Enjoy your day.
That’s a really beautiful card. I’ve had that set on my wish list for a while (but, like you, not from the first flip through the catalog!) but it hasn’t made it to my actual order. I think you’ve just pushed it to “next order” status! Thanks for the daily inspiration.
Good morning Susan, my congratulations to you on you promotion to MANAGER.
