With the fantastic summer-like temperatures we’ve been having here in Portland, I thought that I’d share a quick summery card with you today. This card was inspired by the Hand Stamped Sentiments #156 Sketch Challenge. I used the Summer Silhouettes and Tiny Tags stamp sets from Stampin’ Up! to create this card.
Today I’m sharing a card that I created for the Fab Friday 15 Sketch Challenge. I needed a couple of quick kid birthday cards so I used the new Designer Typset Photopolymer and the Bug Me stamp sets from Stampin’ Up! to make them.
Today I’m sharing a card that I created using the Daydream Medallions and Hello, Doily stamp sets from Stampin’ Up! I also added a few pieces from the Artisan Embellishments Kit. The design was inspired by the Freshly Made Sketches #79:

I saw this cool technique in a video that Betsy Veldman created here. She used the watercolor stamping technique, then heat embossed the image a second time over the watercolored image. I thought the effect was really neat and I wanted to give it a try. So I used it to create this card for the Mojo Monday 286 Challenge using the Postage Due stamp set from Stampin’ Up! Here is the sketch:
And here is the card that I made:

I’ll start with some blog candy today…
My birthday is this week, so I thought I’d give away an extra special gift. How about a little Paper Pumpkin treat?
I’ll be giving away the new Paper Pumpkin Try It Kit (Item 132600) to one lucky person. All that you need to do is leave a comment on this blog post telling me what your favorite type of birthday cake is between now and Wednesday night (March 27) and you’ll be entered to win. Anyone can leave a comment, but I’m only able to give the kit to someone with a US address, sorry about that.
My favorite cake is dark chocolate cake with dark chocolate frosting, yum yum!
And if you want your name to be thrown in the hat a second time to win, head over to my Facebook page and “like” it and I’ll put your name in twice (for those who’ve already liked me, you’re automatically entered)! Good luck, looking forward to hearing about all of your favorite cakes and seeing you on Facebook. 🙂
