Make a Difference

Use you very own Letters to Express yourself and the Stamparatus makes it EASY!!!  I have been procrastinating with this Stamp set because I really had no ideas popping in my head.  I tend to reach for the many sentiments I have on hand.  But this FONT is so lovely so here goes! My First try in Lemon Lime Twist!

My T is a bit wonky, but it works for me!  I used the Handwritten background stamp in this Lemon Lime Twist Monochromatic creation!  And the Cut out Vines are a leftover from the Scrapbook post and it really found it's place on this card!

Closer view with the Glitter Dots for accents and the Ruffled ribbon.  The Vine cut out is from the Animal Outing Bundle.

LOVE how this turned out!!  My other stamps are for the Business, this is more Personal!  The hardest part is getting the letters to stay put, but the Stamparatus really helps you line them up!  Get this set and YOU can personalize all the cards you make and send!


 Brandi has some great tips!

Animal Outing 12X12 Zoo!

Are you looking for a PERFECT Zoo Scrapbook Paper?  Look no further......cause this paper is your solution to the cutest Scrapbook pages EVER!!!  I rarely make a Scrapbook page and rarely go to the Zoo, but this inspired me!  So I am showing you ALL the paper patterns and some super simple layouts.  And starting July 1st, this is one of the papers that will be Buy 3, get 1 FREE!  So get those Scrapbooks filled with this adorable paper.

This truly is a Layout....nothing is glued down.  I stamped and cut multiple Critters on Colored cardstock using my Stamparatus for Perfect Placement!  So these guys are ready to embellish all your pages.  This Berry Burst pattern is so Bright and FUN!

I hated to cover all the Animals up on this pattern, you could always use this pattern for a focal page and really embellish a 5X7 picture and show more of the paper!

This pattern is a little smaller and does well with a Mix of Berry Burst and Crushed Curry photo mats.  Just add Photos!!  And keep the Negative image when cutting letters and use on a Scrapbook page!

Here are the rest of the pages in this paper pack featuring Crumb Cake, Basic Gray, Calypso Coral, Lemon Lime Twist and Call me Clover.  Those Gators are beyond cute!  Great colors to enhance all your ZOO pictures!

And here is a Memories and More 12X12 page.  Cut up your paper to fit the openings and embellish on the outside of the sleeve.  Mix and Match patterns and Coordinating card stock for a vast array of layouts!  The Leaf ribbon really works well with this paper.

And here are the last 3 patterns of the paper pack, The Hippos are so adorable and Pool Party is the coordinating card stock.

Animal Outing 2

These Giraffes are the cutest and the FROG!!  I saw the frogs on the paper, and then noticed the Frog on the Branch.  Love how this fits on the paper and the Frogs are making "eyes" at each other!!  This would be a GREAT set for ALL occasions and Children's Valentines!!

I used a Call Me Clover card base, Lemon Lime Twist mat and then the Designer paper. (The Scalloped Square on yesterday's card was cut from the Lemon Lime Twist mat!!!)

I cut and water colored the Giraffes with Crushed Curry and Crumb Cake.  Sponged the edges with Crumb Cake.  Used the Template Technique with the Stamparatus for perfect stamping every time on the Giraffes and the Branches.  Trimmed off the Frog and turned the Branch upside down and popped up over the Giraffe for that "in the trees look", with necks that long they are always in the trees!

I used Shaded Spruce for the Sentiment and the Leaf stamping.  Love this Color combo together.  So Jungle like!!  Sentiment punched with the Everyday Label punch.

Animal Outing

Oh My Goodness, this is the CUTEST stamp set ever!!  These Animals have so much personality and gave me the opportunity to COLOR.  We all need some coloring therapy from time to time and today was a good day to Color!!

The Coordinating Animal Expedition Designer paper makes card making EASY!!  I used 2 different patterns behind the Rhino on a Lemon Lime Twist card base.  These Critters have matching Framelits so they can easily be cut out.  I sponged with Smoky Slate to cover the white edges and Watercolored with the Aqua Painter.  Love the closed eyes!  And this Leaf Ribbon......so clever and held down with Glue Dots and the Rhino popped up over the Ribbon.

A Lemon Lime Twist Scalloped Square makes a nice Background and room for a Sentiment stamped in Shaded Spruce.  Smokey Slate ink for the Rhino and Pool Party, Crushed Curry markers for the Bird.  Love all the colorful Birds flying in this paper!
