Shabby Chic

I love the ragged torn look of this swap I received waaaaaaay in 2013 at the Baltimore Regional convention I attended.  The stampin' distress tool creates this shabby look.  

The boxes are simply ink applied directly to the clear block and stamped onto the cardstock.  It's clear block stamping.

Two more examples of clear block stamping here and here.

Try block stamping out today!

Think Spring!

Anyone else ready for birds, flowers, warm air?  How about a little something in the spring-y direction today?

This is a fun little card that is great to mass produce.  I stamp the image several times and then cut the circles.  I received this great card in a swap earlier this year and loved it instantly that I recreated it with several variations of greetings to have on hand.

Thanks for visiting today! 

Have a great Wednesday.  I hope you are creative today.
