I needed a quick little note today so I pulled out my SU! catalog, found some inspiration and put together this 3x3 notecard :) I think it came out as cute as a button!
The background stars are from the Plaid Plus set. I just stamped them a few times using Versamark ink. The star was stamped with Versamagic Tea Leaves ink and then cut out with a Craft knife, ruler and mat. The white ink is by Brilliance and I used it for part of the sentiment as well as the edges of the card.
I hope you're having a great day and happy stamping!

Good news! Kitchen Sink Stamps will be offering a 15% discount to the store July 23-25. You will need this coupon code --------> HOT. So I'm not sure if it's because the weather is hot or because the stamps are hot but I just got wind of the news and thought I would share :)
Love, love, love this set "Other Important People" by Kitchen Sink Stamps!! Look how pretty those words are!! We have a couple of new neighbors at the beach this year so I made this card with them in mind :) I really like how it came out -

I have some free stamps to giveaway today!!
All of you will be recieving a free "Mini Stamps" set by Inque Boutique!!
Thank you so much for playing :) I loved seeing all of your creations!! Please head on over to the Purple Turtle Shoppe and pick out a "Mini Stamps" set of your choice. Then let me know the set and your address by dropping me a note. You can find my email address on my side-bar :) Thanks again ladies!
I hope to do this again soon and look forward to seeing more "Inque Boutique" creations!
I've been meaning to share some pictures of the new stamp storage system my mom picked up for me the other day :) They are called "Stamp Keepers" and are by "Inque Boutique". They are thin, "acid free" (which is very important) clam shell containers that are designed to fit in a three ring binder. They come in two different sizes 8 1/2 X 11 and 12 x 12. The ones my mom got me are the 8 1/2 x 11.
This picture shows you how thin they are. This is five of them stacked together-
Here's a pic that shows you how many stamps you can fit in them. These are my Inque Boutique stamps and they stick right to the clam shell. The "Stamp Keepers" also work well if you use Aleene's Tack-It Over and Over for your unmounted rubber stamps. Unmounted stamps on cling foam would not fit well in them because of the extra thickness. For unmounted rubber stamps on E-Z Mount/cling foam, I would suggest using these acrylic boxes which come in two sizes, CD and Long.
I also store my clear stamps in them. I keep the stamps on the printed image sheets (what's the correct name for those anyway :) and then stick the back side of the stamps to the clam shell. One of the great things about these is that I can easily fit my larger stamp sets in them.
Lastly, seeing I was outside snapping pics, here's one of my blue hydrangeas :)
If you have any other questions about them, just let me know and I will try to help you out!
Have a great day and happy stamping :)
This cute little image is by Odd Bird Planet. I pulled it out yesterday to make a card using this week's Color Throwdown colors. I couldn't find my Cool Caribbean so I substituted it with "Tempting Turquoise". The scallops are from my "Threading Water" border punch by Fiskars and the circles are punched as well. The sizes are 1 1/4", 1 3/8" and the Extra Jumbo (yellow color) by Marvy. Egglet was stamped with Brilliance Graphite black on Whisper White cardstock and colored with Buttercup Yellow and Cool Gray copic markers. I guess that's it :) Hope you have a great day and happy stamping!
