Ok, Ok, I know this isn't stamping but just had to share this! Many of you have met, or heard me speak of, "Stupid" and looked at me strangely when I called him that. Does this explain how this poor creature got his nickname?? BTW, his name is actually Spencer.

Make A Monster Card

This is one of my favorite stamp sets and I am really sad that it is retiring at the end of May. It is called Make a Monster and I just love playing with all the different monster parts! The greeting comes from the Henry Says stamp set that is in the Spring Mini and also leaving at the end of the month. I find that this greeting pairs really well with the Monsters! I colored my images with ink and a blender pen.

Another card made using the Bombs Away Birthday Photopolymeric stamp set. Someone somewhere came up with the idea to pair this saying with punch art records made with circle punches and I think it is totally brilliant!  You can hardly see it in the picture, but the records have "tracks" which were pierced using the Essentials Paper Piercing Pack.

When I was rumaging around in my "stuff" yesterday I came across these In Color Dahlias and realized it had been forever since I used one so this card was born! I used one of my favorite, and most versatile, sets called Embellished Events. The greeting is from the Made for You set which is retiring at the end of May and I will really miss this small greeting set as well! The Designer Paper is from the Print Poetry Pack featured in the Spring Mini (and also leaving us at the end of the month) which I cut using the Tasteful Trim Die and BigShot. A quick and simple card!

Bordering on Romance Card

I was starting to organize my stamps and cards in view of the retirement list and came across this card that has been on display in my stamping studio for a long time. I think it is one my favorites of all time. It uses the stamp set Bordering on Romance which is retiring at the end of the month. I must admit that I don't understand why this set is leaving us? I love it. I stamped the image in VersaMark and embossed with White embossing powder. I then lightly colored my flowers with ink and an aquapainter.

Bombs Away Stamp Set

I LOVE this card! I found it in our demonstrator share gallery and it was created by someone named Heidi from Western Canada. It uses the new Photopolymer stamp set called Bombs Away, which I just had to have for myself.
