congrats

Hi! I'm back with another entry for the Stamp It! Cards Challenge in the Moxie Fab World. This one is for the congratulations category.


I stamped the frame die with the Hero Arts Old Letter Writing image and embossed it with white embossing powder. Then I inked over the top with four different blue shades of Distress Ink to create the gradient.

 
The sentiment is from the Hero Arts Essential Messages clear stamp set.

Thanks for stopping by!

i ♥ u

To celebrate the release of Stamp It! Cards, Cath is having a celebration with a few challenges over at Moxie Fab World. There are four different categories: love, congrats, hello and birthday. I have created a card for each category and will share my cards over the next several days.

First up, here is my card for the love category...


I stamped the Hero Arts/Studio Calico Lattice Background using Wet Cement Shadow Ink. The tag image is from the BasicGrey Guest Check stamp set. And the little "i ♡ u" sentiment on the tag was put together with images from the Year Round Sentiments stamp set -- it's so fun to come up with custom sentiments like this! :)


The tag is topped off with die cut heart that is covered in Hero Arts Neon Pink Ink and Glossy Accents.  I also added a few strips of some of my favorite washi tapes behind the tag to add some more color.

Thanks for stopping by! I'll be back soon with another card. :)

a couple cards

Hi! Just popping in to share a couple of older cards I created many months ago. (I think they were both rejects from a Paper Crafts call.)



Both cards use sentiments from the Hero Arts Thank You For Being My Friend clear stamp set. I just love this typewriter font! Wouldn't a set with some basic Happy Birthday, Congrats, etc. sentiments be wonderful in this font?!?! I would probably use it on every card I made! ;)



Several weeks ago my computer was down for two weeks so I had some extra time on my hands to create some cards. Hopefully I'll be back soon to share some of them! :)
