Happy Memorial Day

Hope you had a great day.  We went to our local parade – it is big, fun and my favorite.  Big hugs and prayers go out to all the military folks out there, and their loved ones.  I admire and appreciate you all.

I have a bundle of stamped cards to share today.  I created these using a bunch of extra kits I had leftover from a class.  So you will notice that they all have the same background and cut. 🙂

The cards use Hero Arts stamps and notecards… along with stamps from Stamping Bella.  Shari and I met Emily of Stamping Bella at a rep show a few months ago.  She is a doll, and her stamps are such fun.  Irresistible!  So, here are my simple Hero Arts and Stamping Bella creations…  (Forgive the photos -  they are not the best.)

Supplies: Hero Arts stamps (background, greetings, greetings, greetings), Stamping Bella (all other images), Soft Leaf Shadow Ink, White Inkessentials Pen, Black Memories Ink, Copic Glitter Pens, colored pencils, Gamsol, various Hero Arts gems, Hero Arts notecards, Bo Bunny dotted paper, EK Success corner rounder

A few notes on these. 🙂 On all of the backgrounds, I added little white dots (with the fab Ranger Inkessentials Pen) to the pattern of the Hero Arts stamp.  I love how this brings it alive.  I also used the Copic glitter pens on the images to make them pop.

Oh, and this is the class card that I had the kits leftover from…

By the way, many of the greetings I used on these are from THIS set.  I love it.  Take a close look – lots of good messages there…

I really like using different stamp companies together.  What are your faves to use in combo?

OK, the Bachelorette.  Wes?  What is with that hair?  Yikes.  But I like Jillian.  She is who she is and has fun.  She reminds me of one of my favorite friends, Courtney – always the one to make you smile.  What do you think of it?  (Please tell me I am not the only mindless person watching it…)

Night.
