One more card with the August Stamp of the Month set: What a Hoot

I wanted to share one more card with the August Stamp of the Month set with everyone.  I saw where some consultants were using one of the 'owl wings' in the set as a petal to create a flower.  I thought that was such a cute idea that I wanted to make my own card.  I even used two of the new colors as well: Canary and Thistle.  When I stamped with Thistle directly on the Canary cardstock, it created a pretty new color - neat bonus. What do you think about the flower created with the wing stamp?



I wanted everyone who already purchased the set to see a different way to use their set. And if you don't have it yet, you still have a couple of days before August is over! Make sure to contact me. :-)

Enjoy!

Open House Artwork!

Here's some art that was on display at the Open House if you weren't able to attend.  First, let me share the other make-n-take available.  It had two of brand new colors in it: Thistle and Canary.  Cute, sweet and simple -- just using strips of cardstock and stamping a butterfly.



I also used strips of cardstock in these cute little 3"x3" cards using one of the Hostess Sets. It is a great way to use up those leftover cardstock pieces:



I just loved this cute little hostess set.  I created a few more cards just playing around with it:



This one is also utilizing the new Paper Fundamentals patterns -- now available in all the color sets, not just Basic, this one is utilizing the Whimsy Assortment:





And here are a few more cards from the Brushed paper packet, it is currently my favorite new paper pack.  :-)







There is also a really cute hexagon set in the hostess sets.



And I just played with new colors, papers and sets to showcase:






 



 






And we have card kits again!  There are a few to pick from, I showcased the Cut Above Happy Birthday Card Kit and used it with the You Mean the World to Me stamp set.  Here is one of the cards:



I also unveiled a new kit: Birthday Scraps.  It is a new type of kit, where you use your own paper scraps to make the cards.  Simply purchase the B1419 Joyful Birthday stamp set, and you can get the Instruction Guide for only $5.00.  We all have leftover scraps to use and everyone needs more birthday cards, right?  This kit takes care of both -- make sure to order yours today!



Once I finalize all the Open House orders, I will also share the grand prize winner -- coming soon!

August Stamp of the Month art: What a Hoot

The new Idea Book goes live today!  I have a few cards to share made with the August Stamp of the Month set: What a Hoot.  Afterwards, I'll share a few tidbits from the new Idea Book.  I have been having a blast creating new artwork, can't wait to share everything with you at the Open House.

This month's set is a cute one, What a Hoot.  This set has 17 stamps -- with adorable owls, sentiments and accessories to dress up your owls for the holiday. This first birthday card I used the new Seaside paper packet, with a hint of the new color Glacier.  I also used the background set Flight of the Arrows with Banner Wishes.



I also made a cute Halloween card using the new Yuletide Carol paper pack, along with the colors Gypsy and Sunset.  I dressed up my owl with bat wings and and a Halloween hat, even a mask!  :-)



And last, but not least, I made a Big Hug card using the new Seaside paper pack again.  The sentiment was from the set aptly named, Big Hug.  :-)



Such a sweet set!  Don't miss out, make sure to get your order in this month.
