Best Wishes - Top Dog Dies & Uniko Studio



Happy Wednesday!
I could add these versatile dies from Top Dog Dies to EVERY project...love them SO much!  The Madison Doily Die is peeking out from behind the front panel, while the Cherish Doilies & Tags Die and Berry Branch Die decorate the front panel.   

The Sketchbook Saturday #115 worked out well to include the fun Top Dog Dies and new Uniko Studio stamps!



Here are two of the new Uniko Studio stamp sets that I used on my card today!

Check out that fabulous Chevron Ribbon and Pink Twine from Pretty Pink Posh!    All of these pretties were the perfect addition to my Best Wishes card today!


Thanks so much for stopping by the stage!

Fresh Squeezed Stamps Farewell


Hey friends!  I'm up on the Fresh Squeezed Stamps Blog today with a fond farewell!  It's hard to believe four months has come and gone for my term here at Fresh Squeezed Stamps!  Time flies when you're having fun!

For my card today, I used my MOST FAVORITE Fresh Squeezed Stamps set, Close Your Ears: Deer with the "miss you" sentiment from Say Anything.  The deer head so fun and trendy and masculine...which is perfect for all occasions.

I used the awesome layout over at Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge, #207!


I kept the card fairly simple with a pop of gold heat embossing to really show off this cool deer!  Some simple, graphical papers with masculine color scheme went into play, and a simple sentiment tag embellished with a button and ribbon knot.


A big shout out and thank you to the wonderful owners, Ryann and Shannon, and to all of my fabulous teamies!  I had a ball during my time at Fresh Squeezed Stamps!

Thanks so much for stopping by the stage!

Explosion - Uniko Studio


Happy Tuesday!
I have another new Uniko Studio stamp set to show off today!  This one is super cool... Explosion is perfect for graphical projects for the young at heart!


There's also a new sketch, #14, up and running over at Seize the Sketch!   This one was drawn up my our very own Amy Tsuruta...isn't it awesome!  The Dynamic Duos #90 worked great for my Bam Pow Wow card...such a statement card with a punch!

Happy Birthday - Uniko Studio


Good morning!  
Check out this fun new stamp set from Uniko Studio, A Gift For You!


There's a new theme up and running this week over at Catered Crop...and it just happens to be BIRTHDAYS!  I am so excited to be picked as one of the Heart of the Matter WINNERS from the last challenge!  Thank you, Linda and your fabulous team for providing such fantastic inspiration!


I was additionally inspired by the ColourQ Challenge #228 and Sketch Saturday#297 to create this whimsical birthday card!
