Under the Sea

I got this idea from Pinterest. It uses a only a portion of the Sunburst framelit. The waves were stamped on Pacific Point using Whisper White ink using the Oh Whale stamp. I stamped the submarine from the You're Sublime stamp set on Smoky Slate and filled in the windows using my Chalk Pen. I fussy cut the sub and adhered it using dimensionals. The expression comes from the Honeycomb Hello set.

A Way to Use Those Thin Scraps

This is another sketch from my new book. It's so simple. Usually when I get to the end of a Designer Series Pack I have lots of thin strips left. Great way to use them! The sentiment comes from the Honeycomb Hello stamp set.

Still CASEing the Magazine

As you can see the May/June '15 issue of Stampin' Success really inspired me. These two cards use the same layout but totally different elements for totally different looks. The top card uses the Ornate Topper punch to give the white card stock a fancy edge. In the lower photo I cut the Pacific Point card stock using my retired Two Tags die with my Big Shot.

Designer Series Paper Sets the Stage

This card is a CASE of one I received from a friend. I didn't have the exact same DSP but found a piece that would work. If you look closely you will see I used my Simple Scored tool to dry emboss a frame around the DSP. Hello comes from the Honeycomb Hello stamp set.

More Hexagons with Honeycomb Hello

I was just sitting down to make a "job well done" sort of card for my daughter for completing her paralegal course with an A. (Yes I'm proud of her for always exploring new avenues of adventure!) My husband came in the room to ask if I'd received a text from our daughter. Sure enough, she was texting to tell us she accepted the position of Tasting Room Manager at the winery she works at... So, decided a "WOW!" card would cover both achievements.
Using the Confetti Celebration Designer Series Paper and the Hexagon punch makes this a really quick card. I figure I needed to get this one made and in the mail before she did something else!

Honeycomb Hello

 My son actually saw this stamp set at a booth at the County Fair this past summer. I have held off getting it until now; it has been on my wish list since the soon to be replaced catalog came out. I finally decided to order it with my demonstrator SAB dollars earned. The top card is almost an exact case of a card by Gloria Kremer I found on Pinterest. I rarely make a card exactly like one I see but this was just so cute; I just chose a different color for the flowers.
When using the Hexagon Hive Thinlit it really helps to layer a piece of wax paper between the card stock and the thinlit. That little layer make everything just pop out of the thinlit without tearing. It's a trick I use a lot with my Big Shot.
I made this more masculine card using the same idea.
