WooHoo Day 2 of Sneak Peaks for Clear Dollar Stamps

Yeah! This is the last day of the Clear Dollar Stamp sneak peaks. You will love all of these sets I am showing you today. My first card is made with the stamp set called Laybug Hugs. How cute is this!! I just love ladybugs to begin with so this set is so fun for me.
For my second card today I used the Hydrangea stamp set. This one is so beautiful! You have got to check out how all the designers colored this same stamp. I was blown away!

My third project for today is using the stamp set Roses to Die for. I also used the Blooming Bouquet Die Set. They fit together perfectly. I stacked the smaller rose on the large rose and made a fun bookmark.

For the last project of the day I have used the free Stamp of the Month set. It is called Yearly Occassions. This is a must have set and it can be your for free with a purchase of $50 or more. I choose to make a fall card and no it did not put me in the mood for fall. =)

Thanks so much for stopping by and you can hop on over to the Clearly iStamp blog to see all the sets being shown today. Tomarrow all the sets will be available for purchse. You can also visit these designers to see what great ideas they came up with.

Share a Smile!

Have you smiled today? This adorable little guy is smiling and has found a puddle to dance in. The sentiment made me smile when I read it. We all have rain fall in our lives but it is how we handle the rain. We need to dance. I dance with my granddaughters all the time and totally love it. There is nothing quiet like dancing with a baby in your arms and one at your feet and everyone is giggling! =) This week the challenge over at the Happy Monday Challenge is Share a Smile. The stamp set I used for my card is called Puddle Dancing and can be purchased through Deedee's Digis. Remember, if you use one of Deedee's stamp you will receive an image for free. Now your smiling.=) I really hope you join us this week for the challenge because I can't wait to see what you all create!
The fun layout for this card came from Cute Card Thursday. I hope my card did make you smile and I can't wait to see what you create so I can smile!

Hoppy Spring!

Hoppy Spring! We all hope spring will be hoppy by soon. This adorable bunny is from a set from Clear Dollar Stamps called Flower Bunny. This little thing is so cute on my card not when I see them in my garden eating my fresh sprouts. =) The layout for this card came from Sweet Sunday Sketch. At Stamptacular Sunday they wanted us to make a framed image. Over at Sentimental Sundays this week they are having a anything goes challenge but you need to add a sentiment.

At Stampin' Sister's in Christ they wanted us to use 3 buttons. Finally, over at CCEE and Corrosive Challenge they both wanted to see distressing. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Day 1 Clear Dollar Stamps Sneak Peaks!

The first day of Clear Dollar Stamps sneak peaks has begun! All of the sets that are being featured today are all Christian sets. The first card I will be showing off is using the stamp set called Scriptures of Peace. The set comes with 8 different stamps.
The second card I have to show you today I used 1 stamp set and the new Cross die set. I used the die to cut out a thin piece of copper. It is stunning in person! I tried to stamp on the copper with several different stamp pads but didn't like the look of any of them so I stamped on the back of the copper and used a stylist to trace what I have stamped. The crown of thorns stamp is in the middle and there are four flourishes on each end of the cross. They are kinda hard to see in the picture. Maybe now that I have told you they are there you could see them more. The stamps I used on the cross and the piece of cardstock in the middle of the cross is from the stamp set called Cross Messages.

If you go over to the blog Clearly iStamp you will beable to see all the sets that are being featured today. You can also visit these wonderful designers to see what ideas they have come up with. Remember today I will have all new peaks for you. So see you then!!
