Doodle This Stamp Set

This was one of the Make & Take projects offered to us at our Leadership Seminar in Houston in January.  Although it's difficult to see from the photo, the flower image is stamped in black Staz-On ink onto a window sheet.  After applying color to the back of the window sheet it is pressed onto Whisper White card stock which absorbs the color so that it gives a great two dimensional final product.

Office Accoutrement Stamp Set

I created this card from a kit offered to us at Convention in July of 2006.  Originally it was intended for use with another stamp set, but I thought this worked out very nicely!  The card stock is Cool Caribbean, and the other colors include Old Olive and Rose Red.

Polka Dots & Paisley and Sincere Salutations Stamp Sets

Chris DiAntonio made this card and brought it to our Shoebox Swap.  I love the color combinations!  The card stock is Bordering Blue, and a Stampin' Write Marker in Night of Navy highlights the paisley on the background.

Polka Dots & Paisley Stamp Set

This card was brought by Nicole Bailey.  I love the look of the black strip behind the focal point.  She stamped the dotty image from the stamp set in Green Galore Craft Ink to get the opaque look on top of the black.  I really adds so much!

Polka Dots & Paisley Stamp Set with organdy ribbon

Stampin' Write Markers create the multicolor greeting on the front of this card brought by Bev Bor.  She did a great job adding a colorful twist!

Polka Dot & Paisley with Oval Punches

My dear upline, Rebecca Bernzweig brought this card to the swap for each of us to make.  I was sure that my hand would be sore with all this punching, but it was done in a wink without any pain whatsoever!  (What awesome punches!)  The card base is Barely Banana, using Almost Amethyst and Cool Caribbean accents.
