An Easter Card from Margi

My friend, Margi G. is UBER-talented. She sent me this darling card and I just had to share. She used the March Stamp of the Month which as you already know, I LOVE! There is nothing more fun than opening your mailbox to happy mail, especially happy mail as gorgeous as this!

You can find out how to get this beautiful stamp set (during March only) at a discount, or even FREE by clicking here.

Margi always does such beautiful work because she is a detail girl. I love all of the perfect little details she added to this card: the stamped stitching around the edges, the hand-stitched circle, the three accents with buttons ...and not only did she add buttons, she dressed each one up in it's own unique way, with thread, a pearl opaque in the center, or hemp and a crocheted flower (check this one out for sure. They are on sale for 33% off!) Beautiful, I say. Just beautiful!

Thank you, my friend, Margi G.! I love this sweet card. And, I love you too!

Close To My Heart's July Stamp of the Month

My friend, Margi G. made this amazing card using the July Stamp of the Month (see the left side of my blog for all the stamps in the set. TOO STINKIN' CUTE!). Don't you just love it? I have posted Margi's card here with her permission.

When asked how she did it, this is what she said. I have added links and CTMH product numbers and a few comments (my comments are in italics):

• Stamped Extreme Caps (D1250) "LOVE" with Versamark Pad (Z891) and Clear Embossing Powder (Z671).
• Masked the hedgehog.
• Sponged Cotton Candy, Sky, Pear and Smoothie inks (all 3 of these inks are new CTMH colors that will be available in the Autumn/Winter Idea Book debuting Sept. 1).
• Splattered with pure Bleach using an old toothbrush. (Did this in my laundry sink to avoid unwanted bleach spots on my clothes!)
• I cut stencils to color Hedgehog with Sponge Daubers (Z726). Once the stencils are cut, it goes fast with even coverage. I used Desert Sand Ink (Z2118) for the body and Chocolate Ink (Z2111) with a bit of Black Ink (Z2105) for the fur.
• Chocolate flower from Circle Around Stamp Set (D1300).
• Bitty Sparkles (Z1263) and new Opaques Pearl Accents (also available Sept. 1 in the Autumn/Winter Idea Book. You'll love them!).
