Masculine Open Seas Birthday

Hello Stamping Friends!

Just a really quick post today with this net sketch from Pals Paper Arts and The Paper Players.  I needed a CAS (Clean and Simple) masculine card paired with the Pals sketch!  Oh my....

But, I really like how my card turned out and using the Lost Lagoon cardstock, the Moonlight paper stack, and the Open Seas, Gorgeous Grunge, and Blue Ribbon stamp sets worked for me!  Hope you enjoy it!  I will post supplies here later today.

Using Stampin' Dimnesionals is always a great way to make your focal point just pop!

Painter's Tape Technique

Hello Stampers,

     As I was surfing Pinterest today, I came upon a card that grabbed my attention. It was a new to me stamping technique using blue painter's tape.  I found the video tutorial at Stamp With Bee. (Thank you, Dianne!) It was so fun and easy that I just had to make a card tonight for two different challenges:  

A color challenge with ColourQ and a sketch challenge with Create with Connie and Mary.   The great thing about a sketch is that you can turn it and flip it and still make it your own.  Have fun with it and try to get some creative time this weekend to stamp!

On a personal note:  It's been a very emotional and challenging week here in Oklahoma City and the metro area.  Tornadoes ripping through our state on Sunday and Monday changed many lives and left in it's wake, piles of debris and much sadness.....BUT, Oklahomans are a very unique group of people; resilient and hopeful.  If you think of those who have been affected by these tornadoes, please pray for them and for all of us as we serve and give in anyway we can to bring about healing and rebuilding.

God Bless,
