Good Morning from sunny Mississippi! (I can remember when I was in Elementary School…I was so excited when I learned to spell this state!) You know how I feel about single stamps….they are your friends for may reasons!
- They are usually sooooooo simple and clean
- They are affordable
- They usually DO THE TRICK on their own….just like today’s card – one stamp – DONE!!!!
The single stamp is in the Occasions catalog and it is one that even if it was ever discontinued…he is secured a home for life on Randall Lane! WHY???? SIMPLE = it is super cute and it is a classic!
I realize that Easter is right around the corner but no worries with this single stamp! It is so simple to make a bunch of these cards and while you are waiting for your “sheep” to arrive, you can go ahead and make the rest of your card….address your envelopes and just wait for your friend to come!
This is a total “Susan type of card” – clean & simple! Here is a quick run down on the dimensions as I totally hope that you CASE this. Please make sure you pop back tomorrow to see how I “stepped it up a bit” and then you can decide which one you like better!
- Card Base = 4 1/4″ X 4 1/4″ square in thick whisper white
- The stamped white piece is 3 3/4″ X 3 3/4″ and then matted in Soft Sky, 4″ X 4″
- I did use the aqua painter and the colors I used were….Sahara Sand, Pear Pizzazz, Blushing Bride and Basic Gray fir his dear little hooves!
One thing that is great about a 4 1/4″ square card is that you have a choice…..I LOVE CHOICES!!!! You could use one of our regular envelopes and it will go through the mail at a normal stamp price or you can make your own envelope like I did today (you know I adore my custom envelopes). Another SMILE FACTOR….the sweet and fun Polka Dot from the Subtles DSP Stack….does the trick ~ QUICK!!!!!
Here is to a great day and I hope that my little friend made you smile!!! I look forward to seeing you back here tomorrow! Hit that SHOP NOW button and order this little guy so he can get on the “BROWN TRUCK” and make his trek to your home…a fun classic that you will not regret!
If I were you I would do (2) things when you order him……
- Make your order at least $35.00 and use the hostess code (look at the upper right hand corner of the post) and I will send you this card!
- I would BUMP it up to $50.00 for (2) reasons…..you will get a FREE SALE-A-BRATION ITEM plus (2) Paw Prints from my rewards program!!!
Until tomorrow…..I hope you can get “inky today” ~ can’t wait to hear how you like this card!!!! SHEEP ROCK!
I just ordered this stamp last week and it is scheduled to arrive on Tuesday. Yay! Great timing. Your card is adorable. Glad you are still having fun in Mississippi! I’m sure John and all the animals miss you. Its obvious Milo is enjoying his time with you!
Sweet card. It does bring a smile!
Oh ewe! I was a little worried that your blog wasn’t in my E-mail earlier and then it just popped up! I knew this little critter would be making an appearance soon on your blog just in time for Easter and spring. Very cute card. You could have made it for John with “Missing Ewe” on it! The colors are so soft and pretty. Love it. I had to learn to spell Mississippi early since our house was 7 blocks from THE river growing up! I think it was Debbie Henderson who used this stamp and used Q-Tips to make the lamb all fluffy using the tips. Seems a lot of work to me. Anyway, more later…..
I love that little lamb, and it can be used a variety of was. Looking forward to tomorrow’s step it up post?
Love your lamb and the colours you chose! I live only one state over from you, Louisiana. I loved that USA was in this spelling when I was a kid…teehee.
Love, love, love it! He is so adorable and yes, sheep do rock! Enjoy yourself in Mississippi!?
That lamb is just adorable. It makes a great Easter card with the colors you used today. Can’t wait to see how you step it up tomorrow. Enjoy your day?
Have used this lamb on a couple of cards, starting with a Valentine and did a “love ewe” on it. Looking forward to seeing the step-up version tomorrow.
What a cute card!!! I am super late today as the husband and I had a full day planned. I snuck in a quick peek at lunch and just wanted to tell you I love this card. So here I am already in bed and back for a better look!! Love the soft watercolor look. Great job….Time to relook at my Occasions Catalog!!!!
