We're So Proud of You Card

Hey Guys,

Just thought I'd pop in and share a card I made for my nephew. He was named, "Rookie of the Year" of his track team :) Yay! So of course I had to send him a congratulations card. I looked through my massive stamp stash looking for a sneaker or track related stamp and found the stamp from MME- Boy Crazy. Not really a running sneaker but yes, a sneaker will do. Hope you guys like the clean and simple card :)

Here's a close up of the card:

Thanks for stopping by!!

Guest Designer for Sister Stamps :)

Hi everyone!!

I am so excited and honored to be the Guest Designer for Sister Stamps this month!! I was thrilled when Jenny asked me to be her next Guest Designer :) woo hoo! {happy dance}.

I absolutely adore all their stamps. I have been a fan for a while now. They are made from excellent quality, red rubber and are already mounted. All you need to do is peel the white paper backing and place them on an acrylic block and you are all set. You can also trim them so the edges don't catch extra ink- I was too excited to play with them that I didn't even bother trimming them :) Honestly, if you know you will be fussy cutting the image anyway, there's really no need to trim the stamp (in my opinion).

This month's release includes two beautiful images- Wedding & Graduate. Perfect timing for all those spring and summer weddings, and graduations. I absolutely love the Wedding image.

I love weddings and one quote that comes to mind is, "and two shall become one". So when I was thinking about what to create using the Wedding image, I immediately thought of creating a gate fold card. This would be perfect to convey the feeling of two people joining together to become one.

I started by using an 8-1/2" x 11" sheet of card stock and trimming it to 5" x10". This will create a square card at 5". Rather than scoring the card stock in half, you score 2.5" from either end of the card stock. When you fold on the score lines, the edges should meet in the middle.

Here is the video of my card process:
