Belated St. Pat's Day


A Happy St. Patrick's Day card I made last month using a sketch from the Verve Stamps Blog. Even though I didn't participate in the challenge, I thought this was a fun sketch to use. All stamp images are $1 stamps I bought last year that I finally inked up. The green papers are from Hot Off the Press and I used my Fiskars threading water punch for the scalloped edging.

StampTV



New to paper crafting and stamping? Well StampTV is the site to see! This great site was started by Gina K of GinaK Designs. StampTV is a great place to see videos of various techniques from Gina herself. There are weekly challenges with a chance to win prizes, a forum to share and learn with other paper crafters, a gallery full of great projects and much more.

Here are a few cards that I made last month using two techniques; kissing and split screen.

I used the kissing technique on the t-shirt card using the Little Tee's stamp set.

I stamped the tulips from the A Year of Flowers stamp set. I like my coloring and design on this card but I should have only cut the image in thirds; that would have looked much better. But it's not too bad for the first time of doing a split screen.
