Back to Animal Stories

Here is another Animal Card. I learned a little trick for using my solid image stamps. After you mount them on your wood block lightly brush across them with a sanding block then clean them on your Stampin' Scrub pad. It sounds like it would ruin your stamp but it makes the image come out clean like this instead of blotchy. I didn't think it would work but I tried it with this set and it is fabulous.

Whipper Snapper class

Last week I took a Copic Marker class at a local stamp store, CF Stamps. We used these cute Whipper Snapper stamps. I just love the designs that the instructor came up with. This little monkey was stamped and colored twice and then poped up on the front of the card. Just his head was used from the second image and cut out and popped up too. I don't know for sure what the paper is so I can't put down a recipe for this card. It sure is cute though!

Giraffe card

Another card using the new stamp sets. I love how bright and cheerful this one is. I cased a layout from Stacey on Splitcoast for this one.

Flourishes stamps

I have been drooling over a couple of stamp sets from Flourishes for a while now. I finally caved and bought some. They are clear stamps and very, very nice. They stamp clearly and easily. This one is called A Man's View and is perfect for Father's Day.

New stamps!

My preorder of new Stampin' Up! stuff came today! One of the great perks of being a demo. I also got a copy of the new catalog that starts in July. There are some awesome new things in there! I can't show you any of the pages but I can show you what I make with my new stamps and papers.


This is just a super quick card. I will have more later on. This is a cute new set that has this whale, an elephant, a giraffe and an owl.
