Isn’t this beautiful? …the mix of unlikely shapes/textures? AND you can make your own stamps! I can see this with Barely Blush/ Flirty Flamingo and pecan Pie/Early Expresso….what color combo will YOU use?

Shout out to our Artisan Design Team…great tips and samples! 💕

All inclusive kits are the way to go if you just want to try this… or just want to make quick cards as is… or…decide to PLAY and see what you come up with.

So MANY kits to choose from! Check the Kits Collection in Online Shopping.

LOVE a challenge! Found a YouTube video using scraps to make 5 cards on Creative Moments by G.

I need encouragement at times to spark my creativity. This was perfect…G gives the measurements, and I used what I had…even placing things a little differently at times. It was all good because it made my heart HaPpY.

What makes YOUR heart happy? Would you like to play with stamps and ink and see what comes up? I have LOTS of scraps and would love to have you join me! It is a FREE stamp play date…a Friday or Saturday. Let me know what works for you…and join the FUN.

PS Check out my cards below. Keep JOY in your heart… :)

Here are some FUN cards…Cut a 6 x 6 Designer Paper with 2 slices…and PLAY!

Template is by Jacque Williams from a reel. She used a narrow mat around two edges…like the “You make the world a better place” card. She embellished with flowers in vases. I played with the shapes…and have butterflies!

Would love to see what you come up with :)

Loving the SU! Fern and Flora suite! …the stamps, dies, embossing folder, AND paper. LOTS of amazing samples shared online…

Here is the card we will be making at the next class…It’s a Standing Z-Fold Card. My extra touch is weaving 3 strips through the front panel and adding an acrynom sentiment down the middle one!

FUN fold to play with…makes me HaPpY. What word, or acrynom, would you use??

PS I added a couple of other cards I’d thought you would like to see….

As you can probably see from previous posts that the Cute as a Bug stamp set and dies are very versatile!

Then I decided to try my hand in making a card that can also be used as a bit of decor/inspiration…Enter in the Banner dies.This one makes me HaPpY.

Right now, THIS is my favorite. This is a card…AND a banner. Should I try the mushrooms next??

So…if you need to make a variety of cards, seriously think of the Cute as a Bug bundle…dies include flower and mushrooms, as well as the critters for the stamp set!

PS Paper is Painted Illusions…and FREE classes for my customers.
