Positive Thoughts

Today I made a rather quick card with the help of the oh so pretty Laser-cut Bird Ballad cards....

BTW - the white "label" was created by using the exact same shape as the one behind it in Early Espresso... but only used a skinny strip of cardstock approx. 1 1/4 inch tall... centered on the die before cutting... then adhered to the Early Espresso on ...

Lasting Lily

Today  I was inspired by the sample in the Sale-a-Bration catalog on page 18 and loosely copied it... Here is my card for you:

I wanted the sentiment in a smaller rectangle than is part of the framelits so I manipulated it a bit to make it work. Cut out but had it aligned more towards the right:

Then I put the framelit back to cut the left side off and make it smaller:

Snowflake Sentiments

So today I posted the tip of the week on Facebook... and it was how to stamp off using the Stamparatus... simply place a scrap piece of paper over your cardstock and stamp on it first, then remove the paper and stamp again without inking up again... This will give you the lighter stamped image....

And of course I had to make my example into a card!
