Good morning! Quick post today as I have sick kiddos here - not sure who it will be today but we had 2 with a stomach bug yesterday so it's just a waiting game now!
I used the
Clean & Simple Stamping FTL#75 to make a card using
Rubber Soul stamps and paper. I love how this turned out! The quote is from a
Rubber Soul/Wordsworth set called
Peace and the paper is
Meadow's Edge. I stamped the leaf image several times in the right corner using Soft Sky, Fresh Snow and Taken With Teal inks. I also stamped the little star block a few times using Soft Sky ink and added some tiny rhinestones to a few of them.
How about another prize package in celebration of my 3 years of blogging?! I have a few treats courtesy of
Rubber Soul including a paper pack, an alphabet set and a cute little
Heart Flower stamp.
I've also included a few issues of
Paper Crafts Magazine - one of them is the BRAND NEW
Stamp It magazine that is just out. I just happen to have a card in - and it's a Rubber Soul card! :) The whole magazine is just beautiful so if you don't win be sure to pick one up!
Leave me a comment on this post - what would you like to see more of here? what questions can I answer? how can I make this blog more helpful for you? I'd love to know what you want to see!! I'll pick a winner on Tuesday! Have a great Friday my friends!

ReplyDeleteJulie you have out done yourself again. What an elegant card. The simplest sometimes are the most beautiful - and a big WOW on getting published but no surprise.
ReplyDeleteMy big question to you is: Card sizes. Which ones are the best, easiest, most popular & since we are on the subject.. what about envelopes that go with them. Do you make make everyone or where do you buy them.
Big Mamma loves your blog!

ReplyDeleteHi Julie!
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog and added you to my favorites......love your work!
I really like step by step tutorials.....and videos.....how you come up with the design of your cards.....what tools you have to have and how to properly use them.....matching various patterned papers together....how to color with copics---I still can't get the hang of it....
Great blog candy. Thank you for the chance. I guess I would like to know more about what to do with chip board. I have so much of it that I have picked up and still haven't used.

Your card is sooooooo pretty! Love the colors you used! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for playing along with the FTL this week. :)
Just beautiful, Julie! Hope the kids are feeling better! I don't like that waiting game at all! Especially when you've got more than 2 kids! LOL
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous card! Love the colours!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the publication and 3 years of your blog. I have only been visiting it for 3/4 year or so but it is great! I would like to know how you find time and inspiration with a young and relatively large family. Also, do you make kids (your own or friends/relatives) cards with their ages and interests in mind? I try to but it can be tricky - any advice? Thanks for a chance to win.
