March Spotlight

Good Fortune

My little girl LOVES Pandas!  Yes, they are definitely her favorite. I'm NOT going

to tell you how many she has. When I joined A*Muse and ran across

this stamp set......well, let's just say it was one I just HAD to

have! LOL

Here is a cute little card I made using the panda. It is a 4 1/4 x 4 1/4, one

of my favorite sizes to work with. I used the Woodgrain/Harlequin

impression plate to make the sage cardstock take on a

wood effect. I liked the results very much.

 

Cardstock: Fern, Sage, Onyx, Sugar

Stamps: Good Fortune (SNSM033)

Inks: Sage, Black Memento

Accessories: Onyx Brads, Woodgrain/Harlequin Impression Plate, Fern Tombow Marker #177

Sketch Dimensions: Fern 8 1/2 x 4 1/4, Onyx 4x4, 2 1/8 x 1 7/8, Sage 3 3/4 x 3 3/4, Sugar 3 x 2 3/4, 2 x 1 3/4

Unfortunately, this stamp set is on the retired list and is only

available while supplies last. If you are interested in

purchasing the set for yourself,

you can do that here. You'll find it under the "Just For Fun" section.

Christmas Cards

I normally do not post all my card designs from my monthly make n takes. (I make you come to find out!) But since it's Christmas.....I decided to share them. This month we made 2 of each design so that everyone could have 6 cards ready to mail.

This first one is my favorite. It is so simple, but tells the story of Christmas. My daughter took the picture with her favorite Christmas Bear holding the card!

My First A-Muse Card

I LOVE birds, so it seemed only fitting that my first card would use a bird set.  This card uses 'Chirrup' (SNSM030) Set of 15. I'm not sure why it is a little fuzzy, but you get the idea!

I also used the Sage and Fern cardstock, as well as the Grass Gingham and Sugar brads.  The inside of our cardstock is white, so I simply stamped "today's your birthday!" using a stamp in the set. (No more having to cut an extra white piece for the inside. It's white already! I used Copic markers that came with my kit to add a little water.
