Block Party

Hi stampers! I'm saying goodbye to this CUTE host set soon and I'm pretty sad about it! It's just so cute and it's just so easy to make cards! Hurry and earn this one before the end of the month while you can still get it! I whipped this up Sunday morning before church because inspiration struck and I didn't want to forget! Doesn't this look like a fun block?

And HOW great our our new bright colors for a rainbow????? Just perfect! I used Granny Apple Green here for the first time and I pulled Pacific Point out. It's been a while, my old friend!

Happy stamping!

Mailable Monday - Autumn Neighborhood

Hi stampers! It doesn't feel much like fall here in Oklahoma, it's still in the 90's. I'm assured that it will...one day :-) I really love fall and I'm excited to experience it here when ever that may be. I'm also interested to see when the leaves change. I'm sure it will be later than back home. Hopefully I can time a trip to see my mom with the changing of the leaves. Until then, I'll just make my own like with this card.

I've been meaning to use this set with fall colors for the trees! It's perfect! The house is tranquil tide but I stamped off once. I really like the combo of cajun craze, pumpkin pie, and tranquil tide! I forget how much I like cajun craze and then fall comes around...

Today was a lovely, rainy day, so maybe it really is fall here. It was perfect for hanging out at home after church and stamping! I got quite a few things done but my pictures may be a little dark :-)

Mailable Monday - Three Ways

Hi stampers! I hope everyone had a great weekend, it was a really fantastic one over here! And not for any one big reason but so many little moments that added up to one great weekend. Mother's Day was just a bonus :-)

And now for a little secret. I don't usually care for or get many, if any, of our hostess sets. But boy is that not the case with this new catalog. I even pre-ordered a new set which I try not to do usually. The in the city set is adorable and amazing! You get 60...that's SIXTY stamps, isn't that awesome?

I whipped up three cards using the set the other day and I wanted to show the different things you can do with them. I knew we'd be getting some new neighbors and they happened to move in last week so one of these cards is going to them. They have a three year old boy so hopefully Ian can make a new friend!

The thing I probably like the best about this set is that it's a two step set so you can make cute cards and FAST! All I did here was stamp the outline in black and then stamp the inside in soft sky and emerald envy. Side note: this color combo is to die for! I'm going to marry lemon lime twist...don't tell Jon!

Really, this card came together in seconds. Great for someone like me who moved to a developing neighborhood, right? :-)

For my other two cards I simply watercolored the elements which is also pretty quick and since they are simple images, doesn't take much fuss (which is good for the coloring impaired like me). Remember, for the best results, ink up in versa mark then your basic black and emboss with clear powder.

I kept this one more simple by just stamping and cutting it out with some of my layering circles.

And I stepped this one up just a tad by fussy cutting the house and tree. I thought this one would be fun to send to just about anyone who needed a pick me up!

I hope that I've shown you just how easy it is to make a handful of cards with this set. Sixty stamps can be a little overwhelming but don't be afraid of this one! Add it to your host rewards and make a whole neighborhood or city!

Happy stamping!
