CSS Stamp of the Month

I can't believe I forgot to come back and post my sample with the Stamp of the Month from Clear and Simple Stamps and my monthly template project. This month each design team member was asked to select any of the current templates available for our project so I went with the apple basket template. I deleted the (19) 3/8 x 3 in strips for the basket side and added (2) 12 x 1 1/4 inch strips for the handle. My paper was single sided so I used two strips glued back to back for the handle but if you use double sided paper you could cut just one strip. I think the Best Bunnies set is quickly becoming my favorite set. I just love the bunnies and chicks and fun little sayings in the set.

 Don't forget that you can get a $1 off this set by entering: CSS0310. There is also a FREE bonus template available this month too. It's the Spring Wagon template. Sue Berker designed the template and has a really cute sample on her blog here. Sarah Martina also created a great version of the Spring Wagon that you can see here.

Here's another view of my altered apple basket and card.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you're having a great day! Happy Stamping.

Supplies:

• Stamps - CSS Best Bunnies
• Ink - Distress Ink Vintage Photo, SU Close to Cocoa
• Paper - Kraft, White, BasicGrey LilyKate
• Misc - Scallop border punch, Nestabilities

CSS Stamp of the Month

Hard to believe it's already March. I'm hoping that means spring is on the way! The first of the month brings a new Stamp of the Month set from Clear and Simple Stamps and this month's set is too cute! It also coordinates with the Easter Basket stamp set, for a bit of two-step stamping.

Offer of the Month from DigiStamp Boutique

The new offer of the month from DigiStamp Boutique is Spring Coco and Friends. It contains 5 adorable images. I made some cards this weekend with the images but never got a chance to photograph them so I will be back tomorrow with some card samples. In the meantime you can see several wonderful samples here.

Spring Candy Announcement

Are you ready for spring? I know I am. We awoke to a fresh dusting of snow this morning which looked beautiful on the trees when the sun was shining but I am ready for the snow to melt and spring to come. In the spirit of spring, Sally-Ann has some *Spring candy* available on the DigiStamp Boutique blog here. Up for grabs is the March Offer of the Month which includes 5 digi images, and some patterned papers and scalloped cards. Hurry 'cause you only have until March 1st to enter. Also happening on Monday is the release of a new Offer of the Month which includes the adorable little bunny image on the left.

In the meantime I will share a couple of cards using older DigiStamp Boutique images. The first card uses the Becky and Suki image available here. I colored them with Copics.

For the second card I used the New Home - Bird House image available here. This image was also colored with Copics. Next week I will have samples using the new March releases to share with you.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you're having a wonderful week! Happy Stamping.

Pure Innocence

Happy Wednesday! Today I have a trio of cards using Pure Innocence images and Cosmo Cricket papers. I love the Pure Innocence stamps available from My Favorite Things but was delighted to find some of the  images available as digital stamps directly from the illustrator here for a fraction of the price of the clear stamps.

 

Supplies:

• Digital Stamps - Pure Innocence 001, 003, 009
• Paper - Kraft, Cosmo Cricket, Neenah White

50th Anniversary Event Part I

Happy Thursday! Yesterday I mentioned that Clear and Simple Stamps would be showing pieces I created for a 50th Anniversary party. Today on their blog they are presenting part I. You can see all of the details here.

I think my favorite piece from this event is the little vellum candle sleeve. I just love the glow from the battery operated candle through the vellum and the embossed pears.

Thanks so much for stopping by and don't forget to check out the CSS blog for all of the photos and details on my projects.

Happy Stamping!
