Happy Dirt Day!

I promised more boys cards for you. This is your next installment. :) I am loving this stamp set, and it is going to be around for another year! WOO HOO!

This is a great boy card. I meant it to be a birthday card, but you could use it as anything with a happy occasion. It uses the new Summer Smooches DSP and the I Dig You stamp set.

Don't forget that you can use your markers to color on stamps to make them multicolored. I used the Daffodil Delight and Early Espresso markers for this one. Just make sure that once you are done coloring the stamp that you blow a little hot air on the rubber before you put it down to stamp. You know what I mean, just huff some hot air on there first.

The Summer Smooches Suite is on a sneak peek special right now. It is going to be in the new catalog that comes out June 1st. But, you can order the suite right now during the month of April. This cute paper, along with brads, a stencil, ribbon, a stamp set, fabric, and the new purse die are all available right now. But, there is only 2 weeks left in the ordering time. Then you have to wait until after the new catalog comes out.

All supplies used can be ordered off my website for the best deal possible.

I Dig You!

This sweet little guy was created using the the I Dig You! Stamp set and the new Summer Smooches DSP. I know it is tough to create a card for a boy sometimes. I ave a few I will show you over the next week. I really like this truck set since it works well for different occasions and is definitely the perfect boy set.

I used my markers to color right on the stamp for the truck. It is super easy to get different colors in a single stamping that way. I also used markers for the present...which is a whole different stamp. Want to know how I got them on there so perfectly?? I stamped the truck first and then gave it a few seconds to dry. I then placed a post-it note right on the top edge of the dump truck bed and then stamped the present over the top making them overlap the post-it ever so slightly. Then you just pull up the post-it and Ta-Da! perfectly placed presents.

All supplies used are available for purchase on my online store:
