A Teensy Bit of Mojo....

....ok, so I wrote earlier how my Mojo had up and disappeared!  Once it's gone it sure is hard to locate!  :)
So, I went in my craft room today to play with a few of my toys and to see if I could locate some creativity.  I'm not sure I was all that successful except I did get a card made!
This is a new Spellbinders and Hampton Arts set....clear stamps with coordinating Spellbinder dies.

 I embossed some plain white cardstock with a Cuttlebug embossing folder.  I stamped the cupcakes image with some Memento ink and then colored it with Copics and adhered it to the card base with some foam tape.  FUN! I also added a little rickrack that I made with a Papertrey Ink die.
I finished with some Glossy Accent and that was it!

4 hours later.....

Not really....this didn't take all that long....and I also stamped and cut out a whole bunch of images to keep on hand for the next birthday card in need of making!

Happy Crafting!

Sending Love

I finally went to a local stamp store (about 30 minutes from me) on Saturday with a friend.  We were just overwhelmed by this great little store!  It is called Impressive Ideas and is located in Roswell, GA (north metro Atlanta) if you're in the area!  (Kim, if you read this....I'm still up for a meet-up!)
It was so much fun looking around...and the store owner was there and she was helpful and friendly.

I bought a stamp from a new line to me...There She Goes Clear Stamps.  This line has the very cutest stamp sets and I bought this one called Branching Out because it was so different to me.

I loved this stamp set!

One thing that is so nice about this stamping company is that the website has a gallery for each stamp set they have so it is so easy to get inspiration!

Here is my card...the frame is a Spellbinder frame cut out on my Cuttlebug and the paper is My Mind's Eye Stella Rose as well as cardstock from Papertrey Ink.

I did a little messy stitching on the bottom. I did color the envelopes out with Copics and then cut them out and paper pieced them to the stamped base.  And lastly I added a little Glossy Accents to the little envelopes.

Simple but sweet, I think....what a great set.  So many possibilities!

Happy Crafting!
