Need the Luck O’ the Irish?

Go Green St. Patrick's Day Card
Then here is a lucky four-leaf clover for you! I just downloaded this Go Green Stamp Brush Set and wanted to play with it. The four-leaf clover is made from four Tall Heart Punches filled with Garden Green color. I used the stem from Cheep Talk Stamp Brush Set and removed the leaves and bottom portion of the stem by covering them with square punches filled with the Garden Green Stripes Designer Series Paper that I used for the background. Check out My Digital Studio. The possibilities for digitally expressing your creativity are almost limitless with this software. If you already have a favorite digital image manipulation program, you can just download the digital files in My Digital Studio.

Second Challenge Card

Fun & Fast Notes_edited-1 Yesterday, I shared a card I created to meet several challenges. One of those challenges was to use a stamp set that hadn't seen ink in over 6 months. This set I am featuring today is one that has been around for a long time but is still as fresh and useful as when it first came out. Fun & Fast Notes is a set of 8 stamps with coordinated sayings included on the stamp. When I mounted my set, I cut the sayings off the stamp and mounted them on the ends of the blocks so I could use them separately. This set has a stamp for a variety of occasions and is indeed fun and fast. Check out all the images then click here to place your order.

Stamping 411 Saturday

2-26-11 sketch  Sense of Time                                                                              

Welcome to Stamping 411 Saturday. Each Saturday I share with you the sketch the Stamping 411 operators have developed and my version of the sketch. This week also meets my stamping coaching group challenge to use a current stamp set that hasn't seen use in months. I chose to use Sense of Time. I haven't used it even once since I bought it last summer…oh no! I also incorporated a new Technique Junkies Newsletter technique, Curled Corners (Feb/March 2011). I hope you like this card I made just for you. I love feedback so leave a comment with your thoughts.

New My Digital Studio Downloads!

New Download card for blogs-001 copy Yesterday, Stampin' Up! released a new series of My Digital Studio downloads. This card is made with Easter Blossoms Stamp Brush Set from this current download and the Nursery Designer Series Paper download that was released February 15. Click on the links for pictures of the downloads.

I used Early Espresso card stock for the base of the card. Then I enlarged the square punch and filled it with Nursery Designer Series Paper #3. I added a circle punch and elongated it to make the egg shape. I filled this with Nursery Designer Series Paper #11 and moved the punch around to get the border of the paper in the punch. To do this you will have to unclick the box that says to rotate fill with punch. Once you get the fill as you want it, click the box again so the fill will rotate and move along with the punch. The "grass" is All Scallops Stamp Brush Set #8 stamped with Garden Green. I copied and pasted it three times to get the clumps of grass.

If you like this card, please leave a comment, click the FB like button, and share it with your friends. Thanks for coming to visit today and I hope that the promise of Spring lifts your spirits today.
