Blue Ribbon

This was a VERY quick card to make.  Sadly, it

should have been a Father's Day card 

(Happy Father's Day Dad!) 

I can't say enough about how quickly you

can produce a masculine or child's card

with this set.  Mine is a very simple card,

but obviously the other stamps in the set

enable a wide range of variation.

Vicki's Birthday card

This is a birthday card for my sweet SIL, Vicki.

I had been wanting to use this image from

the From The Heart stamp set.

Colors:  Very Vanilla, Lucky Limeade,

retired SAB DSP

Accessories:  Apothecary Accents Framelits,

Pearls

Note:  The framelit from Apothecary Accents

does not "fit" this stamped image.  I ran it through

the Big Shot 2 times, first cutting the image so that

there was a lot of white space above the image.  With the

second pass, I moved the framelit down so that

it overlapped previously cut area, forming a new shape,

and fitting neatly around the stamped image.

Sets:  Bright Blossoms, Apothecary Art

Primrose Petals

Accessories: Big Shot Top Note Die,

a sample of that technique.
