Too cute!

That's what I thought when I saw today's offering from Craft Project Central.  Check this out:

Cute little Flower Basket Gift Set designed by Christy Fulk
Isn't that a fun project??  I love the way Christy used the new Floral Frames Framelits to construct her basket and then also used them on her little cards as well.  What a great gift set this would make!  You can get the tutorial for this and NINE other great projects by subscribing to July over at Craft Project Central...just $10 for TEN full-colour tutorials.  Can't beat that value!

Now for another reason to smile...a new project using that fabulous limited-edition Reason to Smile stamp set!  I designed this one for my monthly team meeting so that everyone on my team would have a sample of a card made with this beautiful set.  Have a look...

Thank you card featuring the Reason to Smile stamp set with sentiment from Kindness Matters.
Unlike yesterday's card which I watercoloured, this card uses 2-Step Stampin'.  I stamped the solid image first and then the line-art image right over top with the same colour of ink.  You'll notice that my images don't match up perfectly...that's ok...I wasn't aiming for perfection on this card.  If I were I would use my Stamp-a-ma-Jig to get the line-art image perfectly aligned with the solid background.  I was aiming for quick, easy and fresh.  I think this card works on all counts, no?

Tomorrow I'll be back with another quick and easy card using this set that has a completely different look.  Stay tuned...

  1. Great summer color combination. What a difference from your watercoloring yesterday. Both beautiful and yet so different. Just goes to show how many ideas you can get from one great stamp set.
