Seaside Wonders


     Hello everyone,  the cards that I have to share is from the brand new Stampin Up Occasions spring catalog 2016.  I fell absolutely in love with this stamp set. I live on the east coast in a beach town, so the starfish in this stamp set was a must have.  The depth and detail that these stamps get from their multi layer stamping technique is awesome. I will tell you that some of the DSP that you will see on these cards is retired and therefore so are the ink and card stock colors quite  possibly.  As always I hope you get inspiration and ideas from the cards  Enjoy!

Hummimgbird Parade

     Sorry it has been so long between post.  Life tends to get in my way sometimes.  I have been very excited about the new stamp sets out and could not wait to get my hands on the and share some of my ideas with you so the first set of cards today is from the Stampin Up Occasions Catalogue 2016 and it has 3 really pretty multi stage stamps that I think everyone will soon fall in love with. I must give a shout out to my BFF she let me borrow her stamping tool the MISTI if you have never seen on e of these, then go to google and put in a search.  I must say is a must have for multi layered images. So without any further delay I am going to share four cards with you that all use the same main stamp set.  Just a little disclaimer all of the DSP that I will be using is discontinued, which means some of the ink colors and cardstock also.  I always hope that the cards are for inspiration and that you realize that the same layout can be used with any paper.  So with that out of the way on to the cards.
