Backgrounds

I really need to add a few more background stamps to the line.  I say it every time I sit down to create new stamps.  Then I tend to back off because they take up so much space on the plate.  I start to second guess whether they will sell well to use all that real estate.  This Damask background stamp never had me second guessing.  I still think it looks beautiful every time it is used.

Joy created a very classic card using this stamp and a few other elements.  I love the cream and dusty rose color.

stamps used:  Damask Background, Happy Birthday

Thank You

I figured I should post some new samples using the Noteblock stamps.  Some of you stumbled across them for the first time on the cover of the current issue of Stamper's Sampler.

This is a beautiful card by Julie using the Thank You Noteblock.  I love the soft yellow and blue she used on the butterfly to match the card.  The card has lots of texture with twine, flower, leaves and cardstock.

Handbags & Girlfriends

Jennifer enjoys creating cards in various shapes.  This handbag card is perfect to send a girlfriend.  It also is a great way to use the Girlfriends Set.

Just A Note

Gotta love clean and simple!  What a cute card Courtney created using one of the Doodle Flowers stamped on striped patterned paper.  No need to figure out what coloring medium to use on this one.  The colored brads in the center of each flower adds the perfect amount of texture and dimension! 

stamps used:  Hello Script Set and Doodle Flower Sentiment Set

Double Dose

I am behind in sharing Jill's "Inspired By" creations.  So today you get a double dose!

Jill created this tag after being inspired by a layout that design team member Julie had done.  I think it is incredibly interesting to see how Jill is inspired each week by a fellow design team member.  Actually, it is interesting to see her daily inspirations when she posts on her blog.  Would you be inspired to create a tag from a layout?  Here is Jill's tag.

The next inspiration piece Jill created was from a card by Jennifer.  Jill kept the unusual shape of Jennifer's card.  This is Jill's card.

Put On Your Party Dress

Every once in awhile someone takes the time out to show me some wonderful creation they have made with my stamps.  It is always a fun surprise to see how someone uses the stamps.  Here is a birthday card that Debbie Kaste made for a friend.  She cut apart the Birthday Noteblock and created this beauty.  I absolutely love the "Party" banner with the bakers twine.  Adorable!
