myStampBOX: Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day! Here's a quick and easy card to make for someone special. Stamp the scribbled square from Back to the Basics on white cardstock for a cool background paper. I used chalk ink from our product partner Clearsnap. The sentiment from Straightforward is stamped onto a subtle honeycomb paper. By keeping the color palette cool and calm, I was able to use several different patterns on the same card. This set is a must-have for any cardmaker. Have an inky day!

Karen Foster Design: Mother's Day Card

Here's my first post of the week with ideas for making Mother's Day cards. I used paper and stickers from Karen Foster Design's new Mother collection. And yes, I DID use glittery fibers wrapped around my sentiment sticker just like a feather boa. What mom wouldn't deserve that?

myStampBOX: Gift Wrappings

Out of gift wrap supplies? Turn a scrap of cardstock and some plain tissue paper into snazzy wrappings! I used many colors of Distress Ink with the Funky Circles set to create my custom items. The sentiment is from Small Greetings. You always have time to jazz up a gift!

myStampBOX: Card Share

I'm stopping by today to share two cards featuring myStamp BOX. First up is a birthday card for my son's best friend. There's something about robots and boys that is the perfect match! This awesome dude and sentiment come from the Programmed Robots set. Click photos for a closer look.

I also created a quick thank you card for my pal. I used the flower and sentiment from Kind Flower. It was so easy to create my own background paper by stamping the flower outline in black and the flower centers in turquoise. The bright colors make this card extra happy.

I hope you get a chance to get inky soon, too. Pop by and link me up with your stamped creations!
