So what have I done this week? I've made cards! I know, I know, but some days I just cannot stop the mojo! :-) These two I made because I broke out one of my recently-purchased PTI sets and forced myself to use it. I have always dreamed of owning an umbrella stamp, and now I have a whole umbrella set.
I stamped it onto a piece of the PTI polka dot papers because (all together now ...) it was out. The rest of the papers are PTI Spring Moss and SU Perfect Plum, with a(n) SU white base. The really cool part about this set is the single rain drop stamp. You can make it as busy as you like! On both of these cards I tried to make it look like it was dry under the umbrella. Duuuh, like it would rain under the 'brella! Well, maybe if it was raining sideways - been there!
This card is basically the same, just a different ribbon treatment (treatment - I really do crack myself up sometimes).So now that I've convinced myself I need to stop stamping, I am gonna work on making some Grad cards with punch art. I saw a few on SCS that were really clever, and I can only hope that my versions just look like Grads, ya know? We'll see how that goes. :-)
On a non-stamping note, if you are a fan of Despair.com (if you are not, you should be!), or if you just love to caption photos (and I know of at least two of you who do!), go here: http://site.despair.com/captions/. You need to make up a Demotivator title and a caption for the posted photo, and the winner gets $500 smackeroonies! I lovelovelove their Demotivators, and yes, I've submitted an entry. :-)
Okay, time to get punchy! Thanks for stopping by!
I am a sucker for umbrella cards. I needed one, I finally found one, I purchased it...many YEARS ago. And...are you ready for this?...I have never used it :) Mine is so busy...yours is simple, and works well on dsp. Cute, cute, cute :)
ReplyDeleteToday was a beautiful day outside.
ReplyDeleteSince you have an abundance of cards.....vow to stamp only on the rainy days. ( lord knows you'll be stammpin' alot with all the rain weve been having) Save the sunny days for outside and photography or something. ( you make great cards from your photos.)
I'm afraid we may have to dig you out from under all those extra cards if you don't slow down soon.
Love the despair site.

I am going to that site right now...even though i *should* be doing other things :)
ReplyDeleteI love the cards...those colours are gorgeous! I can relate to the no where to put it problem. Staying here at Mama's means very limited room and I have been on a card making spree with all this free time! I'm rapidly running out of room and need to get rid of some of these cards!
