So let me show you what I’ve got.

I played with the new Get Outta Town Icons dies, which happen to coordinate with the Get Outta Town stamp set. It’s the perfect set for Summer… and summer fun!

I layered the trees together.Look close and you’ll see I popped up one of the trees with foam tape. I did the same thing for the plane.

And the words? Well, that’s kind of a peek at the new release too. They are from the new Happy Travels stamp set. So fun when things work together.

Alright! That’s what I have. I’ll be back again later. Thanks for stopping by.

Today’s card… kinda (4-14)

Hi all!

Got a little card to share with you today. 🙂

Made this one last week when I just needed a little bit of recharge/refuel creative time. Never got around to sharing it so I am today.

(Insert dramatic effect.)

The little bird is from Julie Ebersole’s Twelve Days stamp set for Ellen Hutson. There’s a little number included on the stamp that I just masked off with tape before inking the stamp and stamping.

Nobody die of shock or anything, but I used MARKERS (… yes, the marker challenged girl…) to color the cutie in. I have been messing with markers more than usual lately. It remains a sweet surprise when things turn out. 😉

 

The words are from Julie’s Hello Gorgeous set, also from Ellen Hutson.

And the circles and backgrounds? Cut those with a couple dies from My Favorite Things – Wonky Stitched Circles STAX and Snow Drifts Cover-Up. And the sequins? A mix from Pretty Pink Posh, of course.

Alright. That’s what I have for you. Good to see you all again. I’ll be back again later, gators. Take care.
