A Bouquet of Flowers Perfect for Any Occasion

I am keeping busy doing watercoloring with the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens.   I found a Daisies Stamp from Deep Red that worked perfect to create a card front.   This card would be perfect for any occasion:   Birthday, Mother's Day, Thinking of You, and so much more.

The images in the corners was stamped directly onto the card base.   The center grouping was stamped then fussy cut out.   I put FSJ Rainbow Drops in the center of each flower.   The center grouping is raised up using foam squares with thread positioned underneath.

Marble Swirl Stamp Set Card

When I saw this Marble Swirl design, I knew I had to have this stamp set.  I love the way it is actually 3 stamps to create the swirl effect, that each stamp can also be used individually (on its own).  I ordered directly from Catherine Pooler's website.   They shipped quickly.

PROS:  Unique Design, 3 swirled images, 3 sentiments, 1 sentiment block,
CONS:  Photopolymer stamp set (smells)

First, I want to say that I LOVE red rubber stamps and that they are my stamp type of choice.   I rarely buy acrylic or photopolymer.   One of the reasons I try to stay away from photopolymer is that there is an odor to it, and sometimes it is pretty intense.    When I opened this stamp set, the odor was awful.  I ended up setting it outside overnight to air it out.   That really helped, but even now 3 days later, the stamp set still smells.   I have left it open/completely exposed in my craft room to air it out even more.   If you or someone in your family is scent sensitive, this might be a stamp set to avoid.

Here is the card I made with this stamp set.   I used FSJ Turbo Teal, Watermelon Fusion, and Lavender Fusion for the swirls and overlapped the colors in some areas.

If you are interested in the stamp set:   Marble Swirl

I'm looking forward to trying other colors, designs, and layouts with this stamp set.   The sky is the limit.

A Day For Smiles

Robert Poppert

The other day on my blog I featured this card.    I was so excited when Robert's mom posted this photo to my Facebook page with Robert smiling ear to ear.   It was so great to know that the card brought him smiles for the day.  It's one of the main reasons I make cards.

So today, no advertising etc on my blog post.   Just a day for sharing smiles.   

A special note for Robert too:   Robert, your smiling face brought joy to my day.   Hope you will heal quickly.
