<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko has launched some super cool new products at CHA!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">And it's my pleasure to show you some projects on which I used all of these awesome new goodies over the next days and weeks!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">One of these projects is featured on the <a href="http://bit.ly/1Cnj4tn" target="_blank">Imagine Crafts blog</a> today and the detailed instructions (including step-by-step pictures) can be found on their website as a project sheet --> <a href="http://bit.ly/1DQhHaQ" target="_blank">here</a></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">For the background I have used three of the super duper cool new <a href="https://www.imaginecrafts.com/learn-creative-medium" target="_blank">Creative Medium Iridescent</a> gels! This stuff is just amazing! It is so versatile... the possibilities are just endless!</span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Even though I love all of the new products, I think the <a href="https://www.imaginecrafts.com/learn-stazon-studio-glaze-display-set" target="_blank">StazOn Studio Glaze</a> is my favorite new product from this years new product release so far! It comes in so many colors (StazOn colors) and it is just amazing and so easy and wonderful to use! </span><br />

<i><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></i><i><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The stamp sets I used in my very bright and fun Birthday card are "<b>Birthday Balloon</b>" and "<b>Basic Borders 2</b>".</span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></i><i><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">And here is how I did the card: </span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">First I cut a square panel from white cardstock approx 1/2" smaller than the cardfront.</span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Then I stamped the checkerboard border in pink Neon inks around the panel to create a frame.</span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I stamped the dog balloon and "awesome" sentiment with Memento red inks onto a piece of scrap cardstock and cut the banner word as well as the balloon out, trimming closely.</span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I stamped the "awesome" sentiment again, this time directly onto the card front with Versafine black ink and mounted the balloon and "awesome" banner word with dimensional foam tape onto the card front.</span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></i>
<i><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Et voila... there you have a bright and fun Birthday card ;-) </span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></i>
<i><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></i>

<i><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">And here is my sample card for today :)</span></i><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<i><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></i>
<i><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The stamp set used in my sample is the adorable "<b>Birthday Balloon</b>" stamp set and I also used the "<b>Birthday Large Word</b>" die. Oh how I love those large word dies from Clearly Whimsy Stamps.</span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></i>
<i><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">And here is how I did my simple card: I repeatedly stamped the "happy" word with pink and orange Radiant Neon inks on a white panel.</span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Then I die cut the "Birthday" word several times from white cardstock. I colored one of the cut out words with blue Radiant Neon inks and then made a stack from the die cut words with the blue one on top. </span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></i>
<i><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I have seen the amazing <a href="http://www.jennifermcguireink.com/" target="_blank">Jennifer McGuire</a> teaching this technique of using die cuts and wanted to try it since I saw it the first time, but never did. Now that I finally managed to try it here on this card with the beautiful "<b>Birthday Large Word</b>" die, I really like the result a lot! :)</span></i><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It's time for our next challenge at <a href="http://bit.ly/1GlqD6D" target="_blank">showCASe your style</a> :-)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This time we have a cool sketch for you and we hope you all are inspired and motivated to play along with us!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://bit.ly/1GlqD6D" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-VLQ-gU7dXtA/VIwuGSRAhPI/AAAAAAAAKwI/gsiUC_6ppv0/s1600/SYSC%234.jpg" height="320" width="203" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">For my card I replaced the circle in the sketch with two die cut gingerbread people.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">All stamps and dies on this card are from last months Clearly Whimsy Stamps release!</span><br />
<br />
<br />

<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Evx-NM46wD8/VIwuGxZaqeI/AAAAAAAAKwM/KnvK4RfE0OA/s1600/SYSC4_SylviaBlum.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Evx-NM46wD8/VIwuGxZaqeI/AAAAAAAAKwM/KnvK4RfE0OA/s1600/SYSC4_SylviaBlum.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">First I die cut a gingerbread man and woman from white cardstock with the "<a href="http://www.whimsystamps.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=30&products_id=3482" target="_blank">Gingerbread People Die Set</a>" and stamped the coordinating people with <a href="http://bit.ly/1eIMni4" target="_blank">Delicata Golden Glitz</a> ink onto them (stamp set: "<a href="http://www.whimsystamps.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=81_82&products_id=3474" target="_blank">Gingerbread People</a>")</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The gold looks a little bit splotchy here in the picture, but I promise it does NOT look like this IRL but soooo lovely, smooth and super shiny :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The sentiment from the "<a href="http://www.whimsystamps.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=81_82&products_id=3472" target="_blank">Christmas Greetings</a>" set was stamped with <a href="http://bit.ly/1fYlLIR" target="_blank">Brilliance ink in Rocket Red</a> and the large word "Christmas" (also from "<a href="http://www.whimsystamps.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=81_82&products_id=3472" target="_blank">Christmas Greetings</a>") was stamped with <a href="http://bit.ly/1eIMni4" target="_blank">Delicata Golden Glitz</a> ink again.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I would love to see how you feel inspired by Simonnes wonderful sketch and hope you <a href="http://bit.ly/1wCDQ41" target="_blank">play along with us and link up your project </a>:-)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You will find the complete card, together with detailed step-by-step instructions (with pictures) and the supply list on the <a href="http://bit.ly/1ETQpyf" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">Imagine Crafts Blog</span></a>! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I hope you will stop by their blog and maybe leave me a comment over there. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It's time for our next challenge at <a href="http://bit.ly/1wCDQ41" target="_blank">showCASe your style</a> :-)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This time we have a color challenge for you and we hope you all are inspired and motivated to play along with us!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://bit.ly/1wCDQ41" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qvqaRt44JI8/VGcIBqv7XqI/AAAAAAAAKu8/oEhseHojeds/s1600/SYSC%232.jpg" height="320" width="300" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">For my (very ;-) ) clean and simple Christmas card I have used the new <a href="http://bit.ly/1ENi7g8" target="_blank">"Christmas Greetings"</a> stamp set from <a href="http://bit.ly/1r5kVMn" target="_blank">Whimsy Stamps' Clearly Whimsy Stamps</a> collection.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizAoiC48-3Fcq8Hit1OpZddOmSgpEf6Y8IqNpmHRJ_MD9ye6BfQB-hGmAYrj1COmjYp2_8PLLY5MSriIV5KHP9MD-5w8YuOLTFEWbK21VIsrjzh1GSjkVi4PIAdr81fGUcWnOHbcco03Q/s1600/ChristmasGreetings_SCYS2_V2_SylviaBlum.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizAoiC48-3Fcq8Hit1OpZddOmSgpEf6Y8IqNpmHRJ_MD9ye6BfQB-hGmAYrj1COmjYp2_8PLLY5MSriIV5KHP9MD-5w8YuOLTFEWbK21VIsrjzh1GSjkVi4PIAdr81fGUcWnOHbcco03Q/s1600/ChristmasGreetings_SCYS2_V2_SylviaBlum.jpg" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I first stamped the branches from the <a href="http://bit.ly/1ENi7g8" target="_blank">Christmas Greetings</a> set with <a href="http://bit.ly/1eIMni4" target="_blank">Delicata Silvery Shimmer</a> alongside the left side of the focal panel.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">After the ink was dry, I filled in the berries with <a href="http://bit.ly/MEv1qv" target="_blank">irRESISTible Pico Embellisher in gold</a> to add a little texture and dimension for some extra pizazz.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The words (also from the <a href="http://bit.ly/1ENi7g8" target="_blank">Christmas Greetings</a> set) were stamped with <a href="http://bit.ly/1eIMni4" target="_blank">Delicata Golden Glitz</a> and <a href="http://bit.ly/1h3pDvh" target="_blank">Versafine Onyx Black</a> (can you see, how the Delicata Silvery Shimmer still shines through the Onyx Black? Love this effect!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">For the card shown above I have used one of the newly released stamp sets from Clearly Whimsy Stamps "<a href="http://www.whimsystamps.com/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result&keyword=sparkle+and+shine&search_in_description=1&categories_id=&manufacturers_id=&pfrom=&pto=&dfrom=&dto=&x=0&y=0" target="_blank">Sparkle and Shine</a>" together with my go to inks from <a href="http://bit.ly/MEv1qv" target="_blank">Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko</a> and the dies, you may have noticed a LOT on my cards, recently. This is the curved one from the "<a href="http://www.whimsystamps.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=30&products_id=3375" target="_blank">Stitched Border Die Trio</a>" which was also designed by SC Design for Clearly Whimsy Stamps.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hi everyone and happy Sunday :)</span></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Today I want to share a clean and simple card to be given to your sweet heart :) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It's simple (well, as all of my cards are ;-) ) and easy to create!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
I have used the "<a href="http://www.whimsystamps.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=81_82&products_id=3161" target="_blank">Coffee Break Additions</a>" stamp set and the two of the *awsome* border dies from the "<a href="http://www.whimsystamps.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=30&products_id=3375" target="_blank">Stitched Border Die Trio</a>" from Clearly Whimsy Stamps.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The ink I have used is Versafine Onyx Black from Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko (my *go to* black ink) and the heart was colored with Memento markers in Lady Bug and Rosebud.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The little tag is also a die from Whimsy Stamps: "<a href="http://www.whimsystamps.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=30&products_id=2301" target="_blank">Slider 1 Die</a>" (from the Shapeology collection)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Hi everyone and happy Monday :)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I hope you enjoyed the weekend and had a great start into the new week!</span><br />
<br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
Today it's my turn again to create a card for and </span><a href="http://bit.ly/1wsWOeH" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">post on the Imagine Crafts blog</span></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">, again :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Some of the AIRs (like me) were asked to create a Halloween card. Oh *yes* please!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Because, even though we don't celebrate Halloween like my friends in the US do, here in Germany, I am hooked by all things Halloween! I just love this time of year and love creating Halloween cards and other projects :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Therefore I decided to create a shaker card... and I hope you like it (and I hope the step</span><a href="http://bit.ly/1wsWOeH" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">-by-step instructions incl. pictures over on the Imagine Crafts blog</span></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> are understandable and helpful)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I would love to hear from you, whether you liked and understood the instruction or have more questions?</span> <br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hi everyone and happy Sunday :)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Remember my yesterday post with the lovely Christmas tree stamp from Memory Box stamped with Encore! Champagne?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Well, today I have another super simple Christmas card I want to share with you. Again it is made with products from Memory Box and Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko: This time I used the adorable ornament die from Memory Box and colored the cut out ornaments with Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko Delicata Shimmery Silver ink with the help of a Sponge Dauber.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">After the ink was completely dry (I did NOT heat set it, because the wonderful Delicata inks look best when you allow them to dry by air!) I adhered it to the card front. I stamped the sentiment stamp (also from Memory Box) with Delicata Shimmery Silver.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">To finish the card I simply added some blue rhinestones here and there and a love ribbon trim from May Arts, and that's it!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Super quick and easy... perfect for mass production :)</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Don't forget to check out the Imagine Crafts blog for many more wonderful projects featuring Memory Box together with Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko products! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hi everyone and happy Saturday :)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I am very excited to share this card with you! The "Artists In Residence" from <a href="http://bit.ly/MEv1qv" target="_blank">Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko</a> were sent some lovely products from <a href="http://bit.ly/1xl2f31" target="_blank">Memory Box</a> and it was a great pleasure to use their stamps together with the awesome <a href="http://bit.ly/MEv1qv" target="_blank">Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko inks</a> - such a great match :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I have used the stamps: <a href="http://bit.ly/1uIjO8u" target="_blank">"Snowy Tree"</a> and <a href="http://bit.ly/1mtMTWf" target="_blank">"Wonderful Time"</a> from <a href="http://bit.ly/1xl2f31" target="_blank">Memory Box</a> together with <a href="http://bit.ly/1w8Psxs" target="_blank">Encore! metallic inks in "Champagne"</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I know it's a very unusual color combo for a Christmas card, but I loved the result anyway.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Step-by-step instructions, a detailed supply list and more gorgeous and inspirational <a href="http://bit.ly/1xl2f31" target="_blank">Memory Box</a>/<a href="http://bit.ly/MEv1qv" target="_blank">Imagine Crafts+Tsukineko</a> projects can be found on the <a href="http://bit.ly/1iFn1AR" target="_blank">Imagine Crafts blog</a>!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">BTW: I also did a card in the same way but with white, smooth cardstock. Looks beautiful shimmery IRL (but is hard to catch properly in a picture)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Oh and don't forget to stop by again, because I will have another card made with Memory Box / Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko products, which is very different from this one, but still CAS ;-)</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hi everyone and happy Friday :)</span></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A very quick post today to share a card that I made by following this weeks sketch at <a href="http://casethissketch.blogspot.de/2014/10/case-this-sketch-96.html" target="_blank">CAS(E) this Sketch</a>. But I rotated the sketch 90° clockwise</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I have used the <a href="http://bit.ly/1s2tevJ" target="_blank">Stitched Border Die Trio </a>from Whimsy Stamps on the left side, then glued a strip of patterned paper onto the inside of the card.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The sentiment (inked with Versafine in Onyx Black) and the pot of sunflowers (inked with Memento inks) are all from the "<a href="http://bit.ly/1njt7NH" target="_blank">In the Garden</a>" stamp set from Clearly Whimsy Stamps. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I drew the stems with a Memento Marker in Pear Tart (ha! that's cool... I normally am not able to draw a straight line, but since stems are curved, it worked *lol*)</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The pot was stamped, cut out and then I glued the upper part of it to the card front and let the lower part of it overlap.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Mine was lovely with lots of sun and time to relax :-)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Today I want to share an OLC (= one layer card) with you that I made with the stamp sets "<a href="http://bit.ly/1njt7NH" target="_blank">In The Garden</a>" and "<a href="http://bit.ly/1qGqLD7" target="_blank">In The Garden Additions</a>" by SC Designs for Clearly Whimsy Stamps.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I stamped the pot with Memento in "Pottery Clay", and the heart "flowers" with Memento in "Love Letter". I then drew the stems with a Memento Marker in "New Sprout" and stamped the leave with a Memento ink pad in "New Sprout".</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The sentiment was inked with Versafine in "Onyx Black" and I stamped it right over the pot :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The lower right corner of the card was rounded with a "Corner Chomper" tool and to finish the card I put some rhinestones here and there :-)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Today I am sharing a clean and simple (and easy to create) card using stencils and stamps and -of course- some of my beloved <a href="http://bit.ly/MEv1qv" target="_blank">Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko inks</a> :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
I actually did this card for a <a href="http://bit.ly/Y5hJsV" target="_blank">step-by-step blog post on the Imagine Crafts blog in August</a>, but didn't share it here on my personal blog. To make up leeway, here it is :-D</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
To see how this card was created, please visit the <a href="http://bit.ly/Y5hJsV" target="_blank">Imagine Crafts Blog</a>, where you can find detailed instructions including pictures of the steps. </span><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hi everyone and happy Tuesday :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
Today I am excited to share my first card as a DT member for <a href="http://bit.ly/1r5kVMn" target="_blank">Clearly Whimsy Stamps</a>! Clearly Whimsy Stamps is part of the <a href="http://bit.ly/NDXihN" target="_blank">Whimsy Stamps</a> family :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
The making of this card was really simple: Just 1 or 2 spritzes of <a href="http://bit.ly/MEv1qv" target="_blank">Imagine Crafts irRESISTible texture spray in New Sprout</a>, paired with some beautiful stamps from the <a href="http://bit.ly/1xdOCUf" target="_blank">Clearly Whimsy Stamps "Happy Everything"</a> set and the gorgeous "<a href="http://bit.ly/1uUbTqZ" target="_blank">Butterfly Border Die</a>" cut border from SC Designs! </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">That's it :) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I hope you forgive me saying this, but I am really pleased with the result :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
Of course you can change the sayings and make a Birthday, Get Well, Congratulations or any other type of card! And using other colors from the large palette of <a href="http://bit.ly/MEv1qv" target="_blank">irRESISTible texture sprays </a>also can change the mood of your card. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">BTW: If you don't like the little "air bubbles" in the texture spray (see close up blow), you can easily remove them by just using a needle and prick into these bubbles while they are wet :) Personally, I thought they add some extra texture and interest.. therefore I didn't care about removing them :)</span><br />
