Retired Simply Sketched

 Simply Sketched is one of my favorite retired sets.  It is

so much fun to color with Stampin Blends.  I took my colors

from the retired DSP, which was run through a retired

Embossing folder twice, embossing it in both directions.

The sentiment also comes from this retired set.

Happier Than Happy with Happy Forest Dies

 I love the Happier Than Happy set with coordinating 

Happy Forest Dies.  There are so many cute images, and

background elements (mushrooms, leaves, ground, trees),

to add to your card.  You can also use these images to create

your own DSP or background layers. I think one reason I 

like this set so much, is because the bear 

reminds me of Yogi bear.

Waves Of Inspiration with Waves Dies

 I love the many options possible with the Waves of

Inspiration set and Waves Dies (bundle).  You've got waves,

clouds, pelican, posts, everything you need to create

sea scapes.  In this example, I masked a circle and used

Blending Brushes to create the background.  I then removed

the mask and added the other elements.  It really is an

easy WOW card.
