I didn't love this stamp until I cut it into two pieces. I really did cut it! This is just one of the pieces. It made it so much easier to work with it. I stamped it on very vanilla using black stazon, then stamped with En Francais in old olive over the top of it. I used an olive marker to color in the stems. I stamped the flowers on another piece of vanilla, colored them with an aqua painter and melon mambo ink, and added highlights with a mambo marker and white gel pen. Next, I pressed the colored tops into versa mark and embossed them with dazzling details. I cut them out and used dimensionals to pop them up. I also tied on some mambo seam binding. I embossed a layer of crumb cake with the dotted folder after I stamped the birthday greeting on it (Bring on the Cake), and then mounted that on a crumb cake base. Super pretty card. It really sparkles!

Ears For You
This is one of the single stamps called Ears For You available through March. I used the new oval framelits to cut out the layers. Be careful cutting the card base. You want to leave a bit of the fold so it actually folds over like a card. I also embossed it with the fancy fan folder. I used melon mambo, raspberry ripple, and regal rose to color the bunnies (marker on rubber method). The words are lucky limeade. After I stamped the bunnies I masked them then I stamped with the leaves from Just Believe in certainly celery. I also covered the words with a post-it note so they wouldn't get ink on them. I used a regal rose marker and made little dots on the leaves then I covered over the dots with dazzling diamonds. I sponged the edges of everything with regal rose. The raspberry ripple oval is attached with dimensionals. The ribbon is attached with glue dots.

Butterfly Punch
Some cards don't require much stamping. This one is just our beautiful designer paper called Summer Smooches, the new butterfly punch, the scallop oval punch, and the large oval punch. The words are from Petite Pairs. Don't forget, stamp then punch. It is so much easier than punching then stamping. The butterfly bodies are punched flowers from Itty Bitty Shapes with the Champagne Glimmer Paper. It really makes the butterflies sparkle! (Daffodil Delight and Whisper White)
