1st Day of TE Sneaks for April!

Today Taylor and her Baker's Dozen are showcasing the Whimsical Wishes set Make It Amazing and I get to play along. I wanted to focus on stamping and keeping it simple with my cards today.


First I used the branch border image in the set and stamped in Versamark on plum pudding card stock. I've die cut the label first, stamped the solid flower image and then used my stamp-a-ma-jig to position the inner label image and the Happy Mother's Day sentiment. I tend to use my stamp-a-ma-jig more times than not to stamp within my TE die shapes. The butterfly is stamped in Momento ink and coloured with copies and prismacolors.

Again, my next card is simple stamping and inking. I rocked the butterflies in Tim Holtz Distress scattered straw, wild honey and frayed burlap inks; and stamped the branch and inked edges in frayed burlap.

And finally, Taylor is introducing a set of five large Fancy Buckles to adorn ribbon and use in other creative ways. I used scraps of ribbon and alternated colours of die cut buckles to create this happy card. To take it one step further, I could have used buttons in the centres of each buckle, but chose to keep it simple. The Just Because sentiment is included in the Make It Amazing set.

Can't wait to hop around to see what the Baker's Dozen has cooked up today...
