Cheaper than Therapy?

 Hello!  I am playing around with more new supplies!  And this one has a super funny sentiment, I think you will agree!

The background is glossy cardstock that I brayered over with a new Kaleidacolor inkpad. I heard that these are not being made anymore, so I bought 3 more!  They are so fun.  I then stamped over top of it with the chevron stamp (this stamp is very old, I think it was from A.C. Moore).  

I then stamped, die cut and colored all these little crafty supplies.  These were also new.  I think this illustration style is so cute.  

I couldn’t resist photographing the card over all the supplies I used on the project, listed below:

Pink and Main Crafty Stamp set and dies

Kaleidacolor Spectrum Inkpad

Hot Fudge Studio (Cam and Chloe) Stamp PS0888 Chevron

Happy Happy Birthday!

 Hello again!  Today, I have this bright birthday card!  I already sent this one out.  October has a lot of birthdays in my family!

The background was an idea from my stamping group.  You stencil on glossy cardstock and then stamp a background over top. I can’t tell you how fun it is to stencil on glossy.  It makes such an impact!

I finished it off simply, and those stars?  I think they are from one of those packs of adhesive foam shapes for kid crafts.  They work really well on cards though. I only have a few left.  

Supplies: Hero Arts Number Pattern Background stamp, Hero Arts You’re So Kind set, Balzar Designs Mini Chevron Stencil

Thank you so much for visiting today!

Safari Scene Card

 Hello everyone! I feel really behind with blogging.  I am keeping busy supervising virtual school and we have a home project going on too. I am missing blogs and crafting, but I do have a bunch of cards ready to share, and will be visiting you all, too!

I just love this wonderful Safari stamp. I have used it before on the blog and it just is such a great illustration.

This time, I created a background on glossy paper.  I used my mini dye ink cubes, and pressed them directly onto the paper and twisted them so I didn’t get harsh edges. I wiped the excess ink from the paper and then stamped over top with memento ink.  

I finished the card as a Clean and Simple look, by matting with black cardstock and adding a sentiment underneath.  

The stamps I used are Pride of Africa and sentiment from Inspirational Phrases. Check them out at the I Brake for Stamps store where you can use my code SAVE10HEIDI to save 10% off your entire order.

I hope you are doing well and would love to hear in the comments what you are up to, or if there is a recent post I missed on your blog.  Have a good day!
