This week's Inspiration Challenge over on SCS is an Etsy store called Beauty Spot. They had this beautiful cherry blossom ring, so I used it as my inspiration for this week. I used the new stamp set by Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co called "Asian Delights". Although you can't see it in the photo, I colored each of the stamen tips with a sparkle pen. It is really sparkley in real life.
Stamps: Asian Delights
Paper: Snow Storm Smooth, Dark Chocolate Bar, Always Artichoke, Pale Plum
Ink: Palette Noir Black, Pale Plum
Misc: copics, ribbon, jelly roll sparkle pen

Thanks for joining us again today! Today's featured stamp set "Garden Art" is just so cute!!! My happy birthday sentiment is from the stamp set "Silly Shells". I made a tent topper card for my card today. It is so easy, and one of my favorite type of cards to make, even though I don't make them very often. In case you don't know how to make this type of card, I am attaching a video tutorial that I made a few months ago.

This is my card for today's Featured Stamper over on SCS. I used the stamp set "I'm in Stitches" by Mark's Finest Papers. I don't do a lot of vintage style cards, but I really do like the way this one turned out!
Stamps: I'm in Stitches
Ink: Close to Cocoa
Paper: Close to Cocoa, Pretty in Pink, Unk DSP

I made these little Christmas gift card enclosures to include with the swaps I hostessing for July over on Speedy TV. You should check out the swap. You get a FREE mini stamp set just for participating!!! Now, FREE is good in my book!
I made the gift card enclosures by cutting a piece of Snow Storm Smooth card stock 2x4 & scored it at 2". I also cut Christmas DSP 2x4, scored at 2" and glued it to the CS. I then used glue dots to adhere the Christmas buttons to the front. Fast, easy, fun & CUTE in my opinion!
Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you enjoyed yourself while you were here.
Today's Speedy Fox & Friends blog challenge this week is to make a masculine birthday card. I pulled out the stamp set "A Cowboy Thing" for this card. I stamped the background with VersaMark on Marina Mist CS & then the center image is stamped with Marina Mist on Snow Storm Smooth CS. I stamped the horse with Marina Mist ink on Marina Mist CS and then cut him out and popped him up on pop dots. The birthday sentiment is from the stamp set "Pansy Riot".
This is a sneak peak of a brand new stamp set that will be released next Tuesday by Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co called "Asian Delights". I love this stamp set! It not only has these lovely Japanese ladies, it also has a cherry blossom stem, 3 Japanese characters, other images and sentiments. What a wonderful stamp set.

Unfortunately, I needed a sympathy card for a good friend who recently lost her beloved kitty. I think the kitty on this stamp is so sweet! The stamps are from the stamp company "Our Daily Bread". The inside of the card reads "It's hard to say good bye to such a special companion". I hope this brings my friend some comfort.
This card is for today's CAS challenge over on SCS. We were challenged to do a Fairy Tale card. This is a sneak peak at a new stamp set called "Garden Art" that is being released next Tuesday along with 4 other stamp sets. The sentiment if from the stamp set "Daffodil Greetings". Stay tuned for our blog hop starting next Tuesday.

Here's a few more of the little gift enclosure cards that I made a few weeks ago. I think they are so cute! I used the stamp set called "Scenic Selections" from Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co. This set is so versatile! Love it! First, I cut the base CS 2" x 4" and scored it at 2". I stamped the image on Snow Storm Smooth, punched it out with a large scallop circle punch, then sponged around the scallops to make them "pop:.
