I don't even want to think of how many stamps I actually have, but for as many as I do, the House Mouse images are still some of my favorite! I just love these sweet little mice... My cards always have ribbon or embellishments on them. When they don't, I always feel as though I haven't really finished the card. But I decided to keep this one simple, with just a couple of layers and the corners punched with SU's ticket punch.
Stamps: House Mouse - Sleeping under the flowers
Ink: Black Stazon
Paper: Whisper White, Always Artichoke, Lovely Lilac
I also used the ticket corner punch, watercolor pencils with a blender, and a Copic Spica glitter pen.
I always thought that St. Patrick's Day was a fun day where everyone should wear green whether or not they were Irish! :) I don't have very many stamps suitable for this holiday because I make so few St. Patty's Day cards.
Stamps: Lucky You - retired Stampin' UP!
Ink: Garden Green
Paper: Whisper White, Garden Green, Afternoon Tea designer series from SU
Also used to make this card were daubers, circle punch, SU scallop punch, and a sewing machine.
This is one of the newest stamp sets from Stampin' UP! available in the Occasions mini catalog. The set of 8 is called "Just Celebrate" and I love each of these cute little images. I just wanted to share what I decided to do with this set.... first of all can I say I simply love it when SU cuts out the images for us...just pop them out and mount it on the wood block...it's sooooo easy!!! I decided to cut the words away from their image. This way you don't have to stamp the words with the image, or you can change which words you'd like with each of the images. Notice I mounted the words I cut away on the tops of the blocks... it's like having two stamp sets... 8 images, and 8 word stamps! The first card I made using this set was with the owl image, but I used the words "thoughts of you" from what used to be connected to the butterfly image. Try it.... :)
