Hey there! It's been a while, huh? Well, there is a reason for that. This is my very last post as a member of the <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestampsonline.com/">Clear & Simple Stamps</a> Design Team. Wow, that was hard to write. I've had an amazing experience with CSS, they are the BEST! Lately I've just been feeling burned out. It is hard work being on a design team and there have been a lot of days I just haven't had mojo, you can see how that can take it's toll.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Not only am I resigning from the CSS design team, but I'm taking a little blogging break. When I come back, I'll hopefully be renewed and have my passion for all things crafty back. </div>

Okay, onto the card. This card was created for the CSS group post, beyond borders. I used the <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestamps.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=1122">Edgers 4 die and stamp combo</a> for my card. I just love these colors!<br />

The sentiment "Thank You So Very Much" is really for Nicki and Reenee from CSS and all the design team gals I've come to know and develop friendships with. <br />

I'm really, really, really going to miss you guys! <br />

Hey there! Today the <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestampsonline.com/">Clear & Simple Stamps</a> Design Team and I are sharing projects made using the shades of Mardi Gras, which is purple, yellow, green, and gold. This was totally an intimidating color combination. But, I was up for the challenge. The card you see here was actually my second attempt, the first one was horrid, trust me. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I created my own sort of patterned paper by cutting yellow, green and cream strips of card stock and then gluing them down on another piece of card stock on a diagonal. I then stamped the arrows from <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestamps.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=1124">Air Mail</a> in purple. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7vvpIA3Shhbv93sOJtiFXqTBgQG8rhiOzV06nFhSQrs5E4cFJ7BDxhthsPyuUzvG-uFObV2uTaaStqMk1BjFbwOyxpkNCxAMSce0tG6FbD1-m4ODKgHAO_ilGbQcty9Sz4epJjEtdBLM/s1600/Hi!+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="314" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7vvpIA3Shhbv93sOJtiFXqTBgQG8rhiOzV06nFhSQrs5E4cFJ7BDxhthsPyuUzvG-uFObV2uTaaStqMk1BjFbwOyxpkNCxAMSce0tG6FbD1-m4ODKgHAO_ilGbQcty9Sz4epJjEtdBLM/s640/Hi!+2.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
I used alphabet dies (Uppercase & Lowercase) for the sentiment. I used the negative space on my card. I don't have any gold/metallic paper (yet!), so I cut a small rectangle of card stock, covered the entire front with From An Anonymous Source watermark ink and then sprinkled gold embossing powder on it, which I heat embossed. <br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
Make sure you check out all the Mardi Gras fun from the design team!!!<br />

Hey there! Today is the Clear & Simple Stamps Party Hop!!! The design team and I are creating ensembles perfect for a party or get-together. For a small get-together with friends, I created a card and treat to take home. <br />

I just love those air-mail stripes! The twine is a perfect match.<br />

My take-home treat is to-die-for! It's toffee on the bottom, a layer of chocolate and then a sprinkle of sea salt and walnuts. So good! If I know my friends, these will be gone before they get home.<br />

Hello! Today is the first day of <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestampsonline.com/">Clear & Simple Stamps</a> release in review. Today I'm focusing on two new stamp sets that were released last month: <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestamps.com/store/pc/showsearchresults.asp?pageStyle=H&resultCnt=10&keyword=air+mail&submit=Go+%3E%3E">Air Mail</a> and <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestamps.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=0&idproduct=1117">Alpha Clear</a>. <br />
<br />
Since I made a Valentine's Day gift for my daughter, it's only fair I make one for my son as well. I tried to keep it as masculine as I could but still use hearts for Valentine's Day. <br />

The card uses a <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestamps.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=0&idproduct=1043">Pressed Greige Linen</a> card stock base, one of my new favorite neutrals. I used the arrows from <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestamps.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=0&idproduct=1124">Air Mail</a>, the letters from <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestamps.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=0&idproduct=1117">Alpha Clear</a>, the heart from <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestamps.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=0&idproduct=606">Shapes: Hearts Combo</a>, and the little heart that replaces the "o" in Colin's name is from <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestamps.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=0&idproduct=607">Love Cupid</a>. </div>

I used the <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestamps.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=0&idproduct=610">Party Favor #3</a> die for the box in <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestamps.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=0&idproduct=423">True Blue Fan</a> card stock. I trimmed a thin piece of <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestamps.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=0&idproduct=339">Glamazon Green</a> card stock for the handle. Before I folded up the favor box I die cut a heart (from <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestamps.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=0&idproduct=606">Shapes: Hearts Combo</a>) and adhered a piece of clear acetate behind it. The strip that says "colin" uses the same stamps as the card, with the colors switched up a bit. </div>

Hello! I have a fun card to share that I made using the new Doily stamp from CSS. I paired it with Rounded Squares Trio to create all those window panels.<br />
<br />
This card looks all CAS but honestly, if you flip the window panel over it looks like a mess! It is six hand cut squares that are trimmed and scotch taped in place. Whatever works, and you'll never see it. <br />

Hey there! I've had this new stamp set from A-Muse for a while now and sadly just now inked it up for the first time. It was a limited time only set that supported Breast Cancer Awareness. <br />
<br />
My card is so simple that I decided to make a set of four.<br />

Yep, more lovey-dovey Valnetine's Day stuff. I think you guys will be happy when I stop using red on every single card I make. Lol, too much of a good thing?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anyway, I made another Valnetine's card, but this one can double as a simple "I love you" card. Lot's of fun stuff going on here. I die cut the heart in kraft card stock first, then embossed it with the woodgrain impression plate. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I took a piece of cream card stock, stamped the sunburst image using red ink, then placed it under the heart, once in place I stamped the black heart outline. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbbPdHATJKYkt_vpls_hpVlde7U37HKUEaNElooZfx7-bEjIvBjrWXEh_WOBq1Lf-gN2F_52bDj82WZUtQERo9pTm4KWE6_Qt7RWWCIer65NIqar0h9zpyy8eGCloJzHUXlrc-lNhWXu8/s1600/IMG_1215.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbbPdHATJKYkt_vpls_hpVlde7U37HKUEaNElooZfx7-bEjIvBjrWXEh_WOBq1Lf-gN2F_52bDj82WZUtQERo9pTm4KWE6_Qt7RWWCIer65NIqar0h9zpyy8eGCloJzHUXlrc-lNhWXu8/s640/IMG_1215.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
Check out the black faux stitching! I haven't done that in for-evah! <br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><b>TIP</b>: The sentiment stamp "I Love You" is all one </span>piece, however I didn't want to cut my stamp apart if I didn't absolutely need too. So I stamped the full sentiment in cream ink on the black card stock strip, then cut apart the strip in the center of the word "love" and stacked the two strips on top of each other so that only one or two letters of the word "love" were showing, just enough that the heart would cover them and the spacing looked right.<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">Have a great day!</span></div>

I'm so excited to share the very last products that <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestampsonline.com/">Clear & Simple Stamps</a> is releasing this month. Have you spotted what's new in the ensemble above? Today I'm focusing on a new edger die, <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestamps.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=1122">Edgers 4 Combo</a> that you can see on the bottom half of the card (this is a combo set that includes stamps and dies). The entire card is stamped with a new <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestamps.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=1127">Doily</a> stamp that is about 4.5" in diameter, it is beautiful! And that cute little package next to the card is a new <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestamps.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=1129">Mini Tri-Fold 2</a> die that is like a card and envelope all in one! Here I used it as a gift card holder. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
Let's take a closer look at the card. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXvlXCEMjaJ-3kfcv1I7pRhHd2KSDesL0W9DeG526GXSSDJECDN5sJshJJV8FuCTLWfvEgD083gA87tT12FE44hPtevIpapZtCZNVscUVLxjj2Mu6P3d6FKGt4kBUEHAfg6jnuYEaZK04/s1600/DG-Doily-1a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXvlXCEMjaJ-3kfcv1I7pRhHd2KSDesL0W9DeG526GXSSDJECDN5sJshJJV8FuCTLWfvEgD083gA87tT12FE44hPtevIpapZtCZNVscUVLxjj2Mu6P3d6FKGt4kBUEHAfg6jnuYEaZK04/s640/DG-Doily-1a.jpg" width="482" /></a></div>
I stamped the cream card base and the "Mr. & Mrs." panel with the Doily stamp and <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestamps.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=0&idproduct=308">Say Yellow to All Your Fans</a> ink. I used <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestamps.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=1122">Edgers 4</a> to make the curve along the bottom of each panel. The yellow panel is also stamped with the <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestamps.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=1127">Doily</a> image using <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestamps.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=0&idproduct=510">From an Anonymous Source</a> watermark ink. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg185xI8sjAUWZg1205-m-a0kBKH79uGheuIrg-jEiCrU8mo_VLmC3wuKbYalmTywM2E0zXxPx9DfigfC-LfCHQIOGXNNVuySSOejln4fFJN9jpntk2ziiCOR4Fc0a3-_n92MzGS-F2HmM/s1600/DG-Doily-1b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="476" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg185xI8sjAUWZg1205-m-a0kBKH79uGheuIrg-jEiCrU8mo_VLmC3wuKbYalmTywM2E0zXxPx9DfigfC-LfCHQIOGXNNVuySSOejln4fFJN9jpntk2ziiCOR4Fc0a3-_n92MzGS-F2HmM/s640/DG-Doily-1b.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
Here's a closer look so you can see the stamping on the yellow panel. The "Mr. & Mrs." panel is popped up on foam dots and over top of the twine. I used <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestamps.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=0&idproduct=300">Perfect Little Black Dress</a> ink to stamp the sentiments, but I stamped it lightly on scrap paper first to remove some of the ink before stamping my final image. Now the sentiment is more grayish than black. I just love yellow and gray!<br />
<br />
I know you are dying to see the inside of this package! I wanted it to be easy to open so I tied it closed with the same twine from the card that you can just slide off.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestamps.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=1129">Mini Tri-Fold 2</a> Die is two parts, it's the folding envelope and the rectangular panel you see adhered in the center, which is also stamped with the <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestamps.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=1127">Doily</a> image.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I can tell I will be using this A LOT! <br />

Hi there! Just a quick post today. This card is a CASE of <a href="http://dawnmcvey.typepad.com/these_are_a_few_of_my_fav/2013/01/happy-for-you-day-3.html">this beautiful card</a> I saw yesterday on <a href="http://dawnmcvey.typepad.com/">Dawn McVey's</a> blog. I loved her card and had to see how I could make it using my stamps. <br />
<br />
I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, although it still pails in comparison to Dawn's card, which is utter perfection. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">I have such a fun project to share! Today's group project from <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestampsonline.com/">Clear & Simple Stamps</a> is to make party favors. I decided to make these party favors for my daughter and her friend so they can have an American Girl Valentine's Day Party. Each favor is filled with mini valentine's they can trade between their dolls and stuffed animals. </span><br />
<br />
I started my pulling out my Cuttlebug, <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestamps.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=0&idproduct=781">Cube</a> die and new <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestamps.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=0&idproduct=1131">Tiny Note + Envie</a> dies. I die cut the cube using red card stock (2), the envie using white printer paper (5) and the note using red card stock (5). I cut two extra notes using white card stock for the fronts of each cube. <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hello! I hope you are having a great weekend so far! <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestampsonline.com/">Clear & Simple Stamps</a> is releasing some super fun items this weekend, including stamps<i> and</i> dies. One of the newest stamp sets is called <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestamps.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=1124">Air Mail</a> and is so versatile. You'll see! I used it to create the above ensemble. Let's take a closer look. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I started with a kraft card base and stamped those "short diagonal lines" around the perimeter of the card and then the "Air Mail/Fragile" wording along the upper right and lower left hand sides. Check out that cute envie! It's a new die called <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestamps.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=1131">Tiny Note + Envie</a>. I used vellum so you would be able to see the heart through the envie. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihrVFfZ8tQYqJh79LlBmZdK5AcVQB7HVeI3T5OF49ODzkJI6jgeSCOsmmP8V0tLeApeND84B89p7KMUyjcETw75hRPNyBZ2goqLDlz8BVlqcR-iDGbRAhfH7kRz9x74SPg1HH275yG9Do/s1600/DG-AirMail-1a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihrVFfZ8tQYqJh79LlBmZdK5AcVQB7HVeI3T5OF49ODzkJI6jgeSCOsmmP8V0tLeApeND84B89p7KMUyjcETw75hRPNyBZ2goqLDlz8BVlqcR-iDGbRAhfH7kRz9x74SPg1HH275yG9Do/s640/DG-AirMail-1a.jpg" width="486" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I adhered the envie to the card with foam dots and then stamped the sentiments in black.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTkurfMlER-Hk1HHcnj_X-OYwe7WYPQzrqiUTj7rOsz2lpnpbQyCsv-6pm1RnZMJjzIjWqxsqGkQxwScfcLtmllrrv0MHwv9JP_JpX3i-sW_d7vJF0ocqRPC0yoJ15ujhnqA0jjK_Kf00/s1600/DG-AirMail-1b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="588" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTkurfMlER-Hk1HHcnj_X-OYwe7WYPQzrqiUTj7rOsz2lpnpbQyCsv-6pm1RnZMJjzIjWqxsqGkQxwScfcLtmllrrv0MHwv9JP_JpX3i-sW_d7vJF0ocqRPC0yoJ15ujhnqA0jjK_Kf00/s640/DG-AirMail-1b.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
The heart is removable, making this card interactive. <br />
<br />
For the favor, I used the same stamps as I used on the perimeter of my card. The favor was made using the <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestamps.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=0&idproduct=609">Party Favor 1</a> die and kraft card stock. I made a tag by punching a small hole in the "tiny note" from <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestamps.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=1131">Tiny Note + Envie</a> dies. I used the "to and from" stamp from <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestamps.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=0&idproduct=774">Trendy Tags 2</a> and the heart is from <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestamps.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=0&idproduct=607">Love Cupid</a>. <br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">Hi! Yep, another Valentine's Day card. I'm running so low on red card stock that I'm starting to get nervous! I only have scraps left. I need to reorder, stat! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">I started working on this card Sunday, I had the perimeter of the card done and then it just sat for a couple days, not knowing where to go. I finally decided on a Valentine's theme. The scroll and sentiments come from <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestamps.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=607">Love Cupid</a>, which has been seeing a lot of action lately. And the little randomly stamped heart is from <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestamps.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=599">Taglines: Critters</a>, but any little heart will do. </span><br />

<a href="http://www.clearandsimplestamps.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=0&idproduct=733">Designer Lines</a> is definitely one of my favorite background building stamp sets. Its so versatile and the images are so bold and graphic, my favorite. <br />

Hey friends!!! I have such a fun project to share with you today. The <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestampsonline.com/">Clear & Simple Stamps</a> Design Team and I are sharing our Valentine's Day tag creating. I have to say, this was so much fun! I ended up making 5 tags to put on some treat bags for Valentine's Day. <br />
<br />
I started by getting out my <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestamps.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=588">Tags 1</a> dies. I cut 5 large tags out from <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestamps.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=0&idproduct=351">A Blanc Check</a> card stock, and 5 small tags from <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestamps.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=0&idproduct=344">Dare to Be a Diva Red</a> card stock. I stamped the tag outline from <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestamps.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=589">Trendy Tags</a> in black. Next, I put together the letter to spell "bee mine" from <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestamps.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=1117">Alpha Clear</a>. "Bee" is stamped in black and filled in with a red sharpie marker, "Mine" was stamped using red ink and left as an outline. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAjyoRL9Yspgg-U0cQgYHnXCdQvkDrWkUFzhqvezmbvaq1e8q_T3ShM4o3vCRWl6pBxDZhkZ6LPC_LeAHH3doKNm5b_Vw1nNTJhhIwj-DqaGW31YPoewr2iqmNFvu0PXjfgtGEcU3doII/s1600/Vtags+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="614" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAjyoRL9Yspgg-U0cQgYHnXCdQvkDrWkUFzhqvezmbvaq1e8q_T3ShM4o3vCRWl6pBxDZhkZ6LPC_LeAHH3doKNm5b_Vw1nNTJhhIwj-DqaGW31YPoewr2iqmNFvu0PXjfgtGEcU3doII/s640/Vtags+2.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
The whimsical swirls come from <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestamps.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=0&idproduct=599">Taglines: Critters</a>, and so does the bee. I stamped the bee image on the red tag first and then stamped on a piece of white card stock. I colored the bee with a yellow copic marker (Y35). When I cut out the bee, I didn't cut out the antenna, and then glued it in place on the tag, over top of the stamped image, that way it uses the antenna from the first image. I took the tiny heart from <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestamps.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=0&idproduct=599">Taglines: Critters</a> and stamped it in red right over top of the dot in the "i" in "mine". <br />
<br />
I stacked the two tags and tied them to the bag of treats using red, shiny curling ribbon. <br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">You won't want to miss the wide variety of tags the Design Team has created:</span><br />
<br />
<ul style="background-color: white; color: #5e5e5e; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 0.4em; padding: 0px;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">Hello! It's been hard, but I am determined to post five times a week. Hopefully once I get going, I won't be able to stop. So, this morning I was checking out my Google Reader and stumbled upon the Silhouette free shape of the week (one of the many things I love about Silhouette), and the shape was actually a </span><a href="http://blog.silhouetteamerica.com/2013/01/free-shape-of-week-valentine.html">full card</a> with all the embellishments. I really liked the card base, so I decided to use that for my card today. Everything you see in pink was cut with my Silhouette, the hearts at the bottom were the centers of the hearts at the top. <br />
<br />
I really liked the diagonal lines at the bottom of the card the was made on the Silhouette Blog, so I recreated that using lines from Designer Lines from CSS. I simply placed post-it notes over the top of the card when I stamped the lines in black. <br />

The sentiment comes from Love Cupid. The hearts and sentiment panel are all popped up on foam dots. <br />

I love Valentine's Day! I'm sure you'll be seeing more Valentine's Day stuff from me leading up until the big day.<br />

Hey there! I have a fun winter project to share with you today. It's our first Clear & Simple Stamps group project of the year. The first challenge was to make a card/project with the theme of Nature in Winter. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I put together a wintery card using a twig from my yard, some liquid appliqué for the snowflakes and woodgrain stamp for the "tree". </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_q2lsO-OLJD5eyNLXIRXKdzgAriqaSGhqOiUVNW8XQ5RhJDt57UkMDD-8-zYGhXaoFjJyotIEY6a0LEO7DTYlYzhIKs6n4bPCmMmIltre1q2sp7_HMgwuEL2kHdBE9PQIsERg5bUJGyk/s1600/Winter+Wishes+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="601" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_q2lsO-OLJD5eyNLXIRXKdzgAriqaSGhqOiUVNW8XQ5RhJDt57UkMDD-8-zYGhXaoFjJyotIEY6a0LEO7DTYlYzhIKs6n4bPCmMmIltre1q2sp7_HMgwuEL2kHdBE9PQIsERg5bUJGyk/s640/Winter+Wishes+2.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
I colored the my little owl guy with copics, using a darker color to outline the scallops and ears. I used an orange sharpie for the owl feet. <br />
<br />
I stamped the letters for "wishes" using <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestamps.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=0&idproduct=1117" target="_blank">Alpha Clear</a> and colored them in with a light blue copic marker, the same color as the owl's eyes.<br />
<br />
I used a snowflake stamp from <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestamps.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=0&idproduct=590" target="_blank">Taglines</a> and <a href="http://gan.doubleclick.net/gan_click?lid=41000613802463762&pid=NMG27958&adurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.funtoymall.com%2Fnmg27958.html&usg=AFHzDLspQ4PESXVSvAIDyHoa29j6aNSfMA&pubid=611536" rel="nofollow">liquid appliqué</a> for the snowflakes, although you can't see the stamp. I used it as a guide for the liquid appliqué. If you've never used liquid appliqué, it goes on like puffy paint and then it puffs up when you heat it up with your heat gun. <br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">I used <a href="http://gan.doubleclick.net/gan_click?lid=41000613802463762&pid=NMG41993&adurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.funtoymall.com%2Fnmg41993.html&usg=AFHzDLsYO9bDjrh3PMyl8_wVWQ8SeKUUSw&pubid=611536" rel="nofollow">Tombow Multi Glue </a> to adhere the twig and it is staying on really well, much better than the glue dots I tried at first. The glue dries completely clear. </span><br />

Hello! I had a clear vision for this card, just a one layer card with six squares popped up on dots. Well, I had my 2 x 3 rectangle cut and stamped, then I accidentally made my first cut at a half inch instead of an inch! Whoops! I could have redone it, but I wanted to see how it played out. I didn't intend to mat the rectangles (would be squares) on the gray card stock, but it was just easier to maneuver. I laid them all out first, then adhered them with foam dots, then trimmed the gray card stock. <br />

The design reminded me of stained glass that you might find in a church, so I thought this would be a perfect wedding card. <br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
I also have another card to show you, it's on the <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/css-daily/id358584460?mt=8">Clear & Simple Stamps App</a> for the iPad/iPhone. Here's a sneak peek...<br />

Hello! I'm so happy to be here, sharing the newest products being released by <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestampsonline.com/" target="_blank">Clear & Simple Stamps</a>. First, I'm sharing a really fun and versatile alphabet set, <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestamps.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=1117" target="_blank">Alpha Clear</a>. I love that the letters are an outline and you can color them any color you like. I didn't do that here because I love them as-is. </div>

You can also spot another new product on my card, did you see it?! It's a new embossing plate with a houndstooth design, which is one of my favorite patterns! It's called <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestamps.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=1120" target="_blank">Imprints 5</a> and has an elegant design on the flip side of sheet music and pinecones. </div>

Lot's of fun laters on this card, which makes it perfect for my little guy's birthday. It uses his favorite colors and it's personalized, I think he'll love it. </div>

Can't forget about the gift! I made a coordinating gift tag using the same <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestamps.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=1117" target="_blank">Alpha Clear</a> set as the card and also using <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestamps.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=1120" target="_blank">Imprints 5</a> for the houndstooth design. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Next up is an addition to the <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestamps.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=0&idproduct=727" target="_blank">Uppercase</a> and <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestamps.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=0&idproduct=726" target="_blank">Lowercase </a>die cut alphabet sets, <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestamps.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=1119" target="_blank">Symbols</a>. I have so many cards using emoticons pinned on Pinterest. I'm so glad I was finally able to make a set. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggU0dxKcCJ2OdvNsQp7Fu3QCig8qUET7ZOB3ZS4enB923UZ4SXEBg0U8HE5gX-dcYBBfGu_2B2RLBzgrxORBoPA7CEFhICi9S-JMvJpcW-npLIgGVdVXJazPzusJpsQG4euMUv8WFW7Uc/s1600/DG-Symbols-1-1a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="340" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggU0dxKcCJ2OdvNsQp7Fu3QCig8qUET7ZOB3ZS4enB923UZ4SXEBg0U8HE5gX-dcYBBfGu_2B2RLBzgrxORBoPA7CEFhICi9S-JMvJpcW-npLIgGVdVXJazPzusJpsQG4euMUv8WFW7Uc/s640/DG-Symbols-1-1a.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
These cards were so simple. I used <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestamps.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=1120" target="_blank">Imprints 5</a> on all the card bases and <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestamps.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=0&idproduct=726" target="_blank">Lowercase Alpha</a> for all the words. Here's the how the emoticons were created:</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Laugh: Colon, Uppercase letter D </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Wink: Semi Colon, Dash, End Parenthesis</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Smile: Equal Sign, End Parenthesis<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My only dilemma was figuring out if I should leave the emoticons sideways like they would appear on a screen, like :) . In the end I decided I wanted the emoticons to be obvious.<br />

Hey there! Sunlight was not on my side when I took this photo today. The sun was out in full force so that's why my card has some shadows. I think you can get the gist though. <br />
<br />
My card is a CASE of <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/24418022951398615/" target="_blank">this card</a> I found on Pinterest. I loved the layout and tried to recreate it based on the supplies I have on hand. This card is for my nephew, so I wanted to keep it as boyish as possible. <br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Wow, that was quite the blogging hiatus I just had. It was glorious though, my hubby was on vacation and the kids were on break. Not much crafting happened unless you count cooking and baking (which I </span>definitely<span style="font-family: inherit;"> do). I did teach myself how to knit, just the basics though. </span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOxg4IbK8k8mq-KM8eubQhMjYWnLu7kSw3S2zsnJZKAd0_918JNjtIPZwMecfA7-Ku-5foBDA3b0rQoGynXS04D_JoEK7p-LSZHRxscDdvLxLaqwoTNxOZtKGqKcRnRKpYEJTSez25ctI/s1600/IMG_4422.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="492" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOxg4IbK8k8mq-KM8eubQhMjYWnLu7kSw3S2zsnJZKAd0_918JNjtIPZwMecfA7-Ku-5foBDA3b0rQoGynXS04D_JoEK7p-LSZHRxscDdvLxLaqwoTNxOZtKGqKcRnRKpYEJTSez25ctI/s640/IMG_4422.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Since I haven't made a card in a week or two, I knew I should start with something easy. A one-layer card was in order. I pulled out an older CSS set, <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestamps.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=0&idproduct=607" target="_blank">Love Cupid</a>. It contains a damask image that is cut in two, right down the middle. I arranged both halves on my acrylic block to make the shape that is stamped on the left, I turned the stamp 180* and stamped the right side of the card. </span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjjevAquEJcJejYMNu15xywGs_5aGAuuPkSFU9cnesqUGZIrMr7O0VanwbeWXgC0cbo5wuj-efmj6M8OuZWkmqoGam0WisJDff8DStlvL0jkdy9CYFfRaM8Xh1OQZZNAtTkeSu0TfUgxc/s1600/css-love-cupid_1313_general-001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjjevAquEJcJejYMNu15xywGs_5aGAuuPkSFU9cnesqUGZIrMr7O0VanwbeWXgC0cbo5wuj-efmj6M8OuZWkmqoGam0WisJDff8DStlvL0jkdy9CYFfRaM8Xh1OQZZNAtTkeSu0TfUgxc/s400/css-love-cupid_1313_general-001.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
The stamped images actually go off the card on both sides, I trimmed the edges after the images were stamped.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">After I stamped the main image in pink, I took the two stamps and individually stamped a "shadow" of the first image in yellow, slightly toward the center of the card. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The card ended up being a little small, perfect for "just a note". The finished size is approx. 4" x 2.75".</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">Hello! I have a super fun project to share with you today. It's group project day for <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestampsonline.com/" target="_blank">Clear & Simple Stamps</a> and today we are sharing a New Year's favor along with a crafty resolution for the new year. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOc45SFavlr09tidJaz-vW1cDkCpBCNQdzY8QiZZYt64044_Xn1F7Fzr941k-L75zK5CK2rJjUgcd4RwtOWt4mlD26g95tf3MyM32JhcIKa2TMhDVgIzud57PP_Xqp_36WLR2YhF4eej8/s1600/DG-LabelFrames1-2b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOc45SFavlr09tidJaz-vW1cDkCpBCNQdzY8QiZZYt64044_Xn1F7Fzr941k-L75zK5CK2rJjUgcd4RwtOWt4mlD26g95tf3MyM32JhcIKa2TMhDVgIzud57PP_Xqp_36WLR2YhF4eej8/s640/DG-LabelFrames1-2b.jpg" width="602" /></a></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">I had so much fun making this wine tag. As soon as I had the idea of using the champagne class for the #1, I was ready to go! It's funny how it takes just a little something for my mind to go into overdrive. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvnHuDORolWu4sJW6CxLWg77HgEP6kvk4rRGAPUvmlLfKI8yLceBcw90431AF_htNi-sQRQ9YD414hLjpdpeLtze0vfmQTBBpAIzBwqdtAwuZp-SFPaZ8fYDsiuLL68sGB5wxPbkki1Wk/s1600/DG-LabelFrames1-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvnHuDORolWu4sJW6CxLWg77HgEP6kvk4rRGAPUvmlLfKI8yLceBcw90431AF_htNi-sQRQ9YD414hLjpdpeLtze0vfmQTBBpAIzBwqdtAwuZp-SFPaZ8fYDsiuLL68sGB5wxPbkki1Wk/s640/DG-LabelFrames1-2.jpg" width="278" /></a></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">I started with a strip of card stock about 7" long and a little less than 2" wide. I used a circle die from <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestamps.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=0&idproduct=653" target="_blank">Shapes: Circles</a> to make the opening that would slide over the wine bottle neck. I stamped it using the woodgrain stamp from <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestamps.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=0&idproduct=603" target="_blank">Background Basics 1</a>. The label itself uses a frame <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestamps.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=0&idproduct=847" target="_blank">Label Frames 1</a> stamped using <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestamps.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=0&idproduct=320" target="_blank">Dare to Be a Diva Red ink</a> and then cut out. I added some diagonal pink lines using <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestamps.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=0&idproduct=733" target="_blank">Designer Lines</a>. That cute little wine glass is from <a href="http://www.clearandsimplestamps.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=0&idproduct=590" target="_blank">Taglines</a> and is colored using copic markers. The die cut numbers were adhered using foam dots, so they literally pop off the label. The sentiment is from the Limited Edition set JOY. </span><br />

As far as my crafty resolution is concerned, it's all about organization. From keeping a blog agenda, scheduling more posts, handing in projects before the deadline, to keeping my studio space neat and tidy. <br />

Hey friends! If you are part of the crafting community you may have already heard about the <a href="http://www.damasklove.com/drawn-together-a-fundraiser-for-newtown-connecticut/" target="_blank">#DrawnTogetherforCT</a> project that my friend <a href="http://www.damasklove.com/" target="_blank">Amber Kemp-Gerstel</a> is spear heading. If you have not already heard about it, let me fill you in. Amber is a Child Psychologist by day and an amazingly talented crafter by night. We were all heart broken when tragedy struck Sandy Hook Elementary last Friday and I know I felt the strong urge to help out in some way, but how? How can I have a direct effect on the children of Newtown, CT? That's where Amber jumped in with both feet with a plan. She is collecting crafty items (markers, card stock, glue sticks, stamps, etc) to put into art kits to send to the many places that have programs set up for the kids affected. Amber is also accepting monetary donations to pay for supplies and shipping. <br />
<br />
Amber suggested making a card for the kids to include in each art kit that is made. I made 12 cards using Little Critters and Critters Sentiments. They are purr-fect for kids! Just a little something to let them know that somebody out there is thinking of them. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhULNmLYHswl9jEiqW-jy_fQxewAmrbM4PsJxKk4hPjGBmitYllP6mBbhGxEbs9W4GvsokPvBGsvOgkaLPGEeA4CBDkr3Dc5aFWVzSc0kBFWxDUCxfl-pUfoAXtraAGVVyNyWPCPKpAgoQ/s1600/IMG_4404.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhULNmLYHswl9jEiqW-jy_fQxewAmrbM4PsJxKk4hPjGBmitYllP6mBbhGxEbs9W4GvsokPvBGsvOgkaLPGEeA4CBDkr3Dc5aFWVzSc0kBFWxDUCxfl-pUfoAXtraAGVVyNyWPCPKpAgoQ/s640/IMG_4404.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
I made two types of cards, one says "with LOVE for you" and the other one says "PURR-FECT in every way". Inside I wrote a note saying "You are special today and every day. " The cat's body is colored with a copic marker (W5) and the nose as well as part of the sentiment used a fuchsia colored sharpie marker. There are little clear gems on the eyes. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

For quite some time now I've had a massive pile of craft items I wanted to sell. Most of them were from magazines in exchange for having a card published. Most was not my style at all. <a href="http://www.damasklove.com/drawn-together-a-fundraiser-for-newtown-connecticut/" target="_blank">#DrawnTogetherforCT</a> was the perfect opportunity to get rid of these things. It's a win/win. I get some space and kids get some crafty goodies. <br />

Things sure do get crazy this time of year. I vowed to get all of my shopping and wrapping done before my kids started winter break. I actually stuck to this and therefore have not posted much on the blog lately. Like last year, I also vowed to not buy any gift cards. I like a challenge I tell ya. <br />
<br />
I bought a gift for my husband that is a Groupon and I don't just want to hand him a piece of paper so I made this card this morning. I used my silhouette a lot since he did by that for me for Christmas two years ago. I thought architecture was pretty masculine, so that's where the whole I idea of the window came from. The tree is on the inside of the card, that's why it's photographed with the card closed. <br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I created "siding" for my house by using my Martha Stewart scoring board. I sponged the score lines and edges with brown ink to make the "siding" more </span>noticeable<span style="font-family: inherit;">. I think overall this card has a vintage/shabby chic look. Is it possible to be shabby chic and masculine? I'm not sure.</span></span><br />

You can see a bit of the dimension is this above photo. <br />

I'd like to post some more over Christmas break (I have one post scheduled already) but I'm not making any promises. <br />

Hello! Happy Friday!!! Every year my girlfriends and I go out to dinner and exchange a little gift. We did this a few nights ago, so I can safely share these on my blog. <br />
<br />
Last year I crocheted everyone a scarf and I've made treats in previous years. I really went a different way this year and <i>bought</i> them something. It's something I would like to receive myself so I knew they would like them. You can see in the photo below that they each received a 5-pack of drink mixers. You mix each bottle with a certain type of alcohol (rum, tequila, or vodka). I found these at Target. <br />
<br />
You can see the tags I made above (I just had to<i> make</i> something!). And below you can see them tied with a big red ribbon around the handle on the drink mixes. <br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">These tags were made using four sets of CSS dies: Uppercase Alpha, Lowercase Alpha, Tags 1, and Leaflets. Once I had everything die cut, I just assembled everything. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The letters are actually stamped with a houndstooth pattern from Designer Lines. It's red ink on red card stock. In person it shows up really well, but it did not show up in the photos. </span>
