Hedgie Window Card

Here is another card we made at the Stamp Club Workshop last week. This card was inspired by Linda Heller, thank you Linda! The card is 3 1/2 x 5 and is done in Bashful Blue. The designer paper is Cutie Pie. I layered Certainly Celery behind the CP paper. To make the window simply punch the center out, and attach the white cardstock inside. LIGHTLY trace around the opening onto the white cardstock with a pencil so you can tell where to stamp the Hedgie on the inside. Then simply erase your pencil line. Woo-la! Oh, and to make the darling scallop border, punch a circle first and then the scallop punch around the circle to finish it off. The stamp sets used are Fast and Fun Notes and Absolutely Fabulous. Isn't this a great layout? Try using this layout with different stamp and papers. So cute. Thanks for looking and happy stamping!

A Little Bit of Happiness

I don't know about you, but I am crazy about the Hostess Sets in the catty. Here is another Level 1 Hostess called "A Little Bit of Happiness." I stamped the image on watercolor paper and popped up a few of the leaves by cutting out and attaching with dimensionals. I also used the background stamp "Weathered" with Versamark for the background. Add a wide ribbon and that's it!

Pretty in Pink

Here are a couple of swaps from my upline, Dawn. On the pink card she used the stamp set, "One of a Kind" and the other is a stamp set from Sale-a-Bration called "Lots of Thoughts." Thank you Dawn, and very pretty cards!
