There She Goes Again - Love Birds

This week on the There She Goes Clear Stamps blogs, we've been showing off some cards made in the past by our Trendsetters with the Bee Happy, Love Birds, and Spread Your Wings stamp set.  

Today the Trendsetters are showing of some new cards we have made with these previously released sets.

I decided to ink up the Love Birds stamps for my card. 

I paired some Bazzill Card Shoppe banana split and black licorice CS with a random scrap of paper I had in my stash of scraps.  I stamped the image on X-Press It blending card and colored it with copics.  I added some buttons and ivory jute.  I used the FTL180 layout for this card.  

Be sure to head on over to the There She Goes blog to check out what my fellow Trendsetters have done with this week's "There She Goes Again" stamp sets!

Goooooooooo, Dodgers!

My 8 yo son's baseball team is playing in the finals tonight!  They beat a undefeated team Tuesday night in the playoffs to advance to the final tonight!  Win or lose, we are all so proud of the boys.  My husband is one of the coaches.  We are presenting the coaches with the gift card to a local restaurant for a "Coaches Night Out" and so I made this card for the boys to sign tonight.  

A while back I had suggested to Korin Sutherland that she draw up a Baseball Rhubarb knowing it would be such a cute image for a card for the coaches.....and she did!  

Thanks, Korin!  

I just received a huge stash of the new Bazzill Card Shoppe CS.  Have I mentioned that I LOVE IT?!?!  Seriously, it is the best CS on the market!  I won't be ordering anything else from now on!  I used candy car, wax lips, whirly pop, and peanit cluster for this card.  I stamped the image in Momento tuxedo black ink onto X-Press It blending card and colored it with copics.  I used the MFT Dienamics Fishtail Flags STAX. The sentiment is from the MFT a la mode All-Star stamp set which I stamped in VersaMark and embossed with white embossing powder.

Wishing the boys good luck tonight!

Gooooooooooo, Dodgers!

UPDATE - They won!!!

Here's my NEW card for this hop using the new Beach Hat Ava image:

I paired some Bazzill Card Shoppe marshmallow and licorice twist CS with some DSP from the Doodlebug Design "Hello Spring" 6x6 paper pad.  I used a die cut from the MFT Die-Namics wonky scallop border die as a template for sponging my clouds with Momento summer sky ink.  I used the TE wave border die and tore some Bazzill Card Shoppe peanut cluster CS to make the sand.   I paper pieced her bathing suit and added some buttercup liquid pearls to the center of the flower on her bag.  I added some May Arts black and white checked ribbon to embellish.
