Another Thank You

Here's my new favorite way to use Dotty Angles!  The only thing better than confetti is confetti moving in two directions, and this offers endless color combinations.

Happy Friday!

Thanks to Mail

Now that it's February, it's high time I send my thank you cards.  The {extreme} delay was because I didn't have any on hand, so I updated this card with some happy spring colors (wishful thinking!) and made many.  It's very quick and easy with Dotty Angles, which is a go-to stamp set for me.  Check back on Monday to see an entirely different look using the same stamps!

Happy Friday!

More Hearts

Once I got started, it was quick and easy to put together some more Valentines with these great stamps from January's My Paper Pumpkin!  I used the Hearts & Stars decorative overlays again, and sponged in two colors--Crisp Cantaloupe and Calypso Coral--for a fun background, and then added the two heart stamps from My Paper Pumpkin in a random pattern.  The sentiment is also from My Paper Pumpkin, and the card is just that easy.  And happy!

Cheers,
~Melanie

Happy February!

Time flies when you're having fun, and that's just what I've been doing for the past few months--holidays and secret crafting for gifts, travel to see family, plus lots of work has made me very busy!  But I'm back now, and have a cute Valentine to share to get you in the February spirit.

Huge props to the January Paper Pumpkin kit--it is just fantastic, and I love, love, LOVE the stamps that came with it!  Those stamps were my starting point for this card.  It turns out, my stamp collection is entirely devoid of hearts--it's a shape I never reach for, so I often go "nontraditional" when it comes time for lovey-dovey events.  But I do have the Hearts & Stars decorative masks, so I sponged in a cluster of hearts in the lower right-hand corner, then added the open heart and sentiment from Paper Pumpkin.

There are more Valentines where this came from, so stay tuned!
Cheers,
~Melanie
