Hi guys!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The <a href="http://tinyurl.com/ln2tean">Studio Calico November kits</a> are AVAILABLE NOW!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm here today to show you how I used the <span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://tinyurl.com/owjsy4e">Walden Project Life Kit!</a></span> I love the fall colors in this kit- and there are some really great embellishments this month! </div>

That vellum tree card.... sigh... I'll show you how I used that tomorrow! LOVE it. Probably my favorite thing in the kit this month!</div>
<div align="center">

</div>
<div align="center">
I used this kit to document a very stressful week in our house- we had our first broken bone! Aden lasted 8 years before breaking anything- I call that a success! We still have 1 more week with this cast. It's gross and needs to come off. For real.</div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I loved the yellow elements in this kit and pulled them out to pair with the greens and blues in the cards and photos. I created a card for the bottom right slot that coordinated using the awesome heart stamp in the kit and Sunny Day and Orange County inks!</div>

Today, I wanted to show you a Project Life page I created using some of the <a href="http://tinyurl.com/obplsmn">Digital Stamp Brushes from Studio Calico.</a> These Digital Stamp Brushes are a great value! Not only can you use them with photo editing software to create digital scrapbook pages, but you can also create cut files with them using Silhouette Studio! I'm going to show you how I did it!</div>

First, create some 3x4 card cuts. Simply use the rectangle tool to draw a quick rectangle. Then, select the shape and adjust the size to 3x4 using the "Scale" tool.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next, open the .png files in Silhouette Studio. Click file, open, make sure you have "All Files" selected for "Files of Type," and select the appropriate file you would like to open!</div>

Select the "Trace Window," click "Select Trace Area," and drag an outline around the image. Unclick "High Pass Filter" so the entire shape will be cut out. Then, click "Trace." Delete the original .png file and you'll be left with the cut file!</div>

I add my new cut files to my 3x4 card cuts and I have some fun cards to work with! I can either cut them out with patterned paper or do like I did today- cut them out with white cardstock and add accent patterns to peek through the negatives!</div>

Hi!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Hope you are all enjoying some nice, cool fall weather! I know we are starting to cool down (in the 70's now!) and it's my favorite time of year!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So much to love!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wanted to take a minute to let you guys know that I have taken a step back from card making for now. Because of my new teaching position and the amount of time it commands, I will no longer be contributing on the Card Creative Team. I am very sad that I had to make this decision. The card kits are always SO inspiring (and the stamp sets have been killing it lately!), but I need to cut back and slim down my responsibilities. I will continue to contribute on the Project Life team, as documenting for my family is something that will always make a priority. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks for all the card love over the past couple of years! I'm sure I'll still make cards when time allows- it was my first introduction to stamping so many years ago!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I hope to see you at the Subscriber Reveal Chat! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Have a great day!</span></div>

Hi!</strong></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope you're all having a great weekend so far! I'm relaxing at home and it feels so good after a really long first week of school! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">How CUTE, right!? I love it!</span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I saw that long script alphabet, I knew I wanted to create a background with it! Here's a peek at how I stamped my background: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpbhzgxnAjih2cluRWCU8c38hSGwyOzMIjZr7HFAONLeTKM5XuHSae5qDCHC9wry_g5zc_CmChFNU-C9SZKS-L1wesgU78Y8hH33ryMnQHf25TSTyDW0gaqgHb94ahhb542JingCytaEDG/s1600/cg-+stepbystep.jpg" height="212" width="640" /><br />
1. Get a nice, big block and <strong>place the stamp</strong>. <strong>Ink it up</strong>- I used Versafine Onyx Black (it's my favorite!).<br />
<br />
2. <strong>Stamp!</strong> I placed a piece of white copy paper under my card base so the excess stamp wouldn't stamp my table. <br />
<br />
3.<strong> Repeat stamping</strong> all the way down the front of the card. I moved the stamp around to make sure that all the letters of the alphabet made it onto my card.<br />
<br />
4.<strong> Embellish.</strong> When I was finished stamping my background, I added some patterned paper from the Poet Society Card Kit and a stamped a colored image from the Back to School Stamp Set!<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">
Hi!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So sorry for the lack of blog presence this month! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am very eager to start my new teaching career (6th grade, here I come!) and I've been in trainings and meetings and conferences and my classroom for the past 3 weeks. Time has flown by and I haven't checked in on my blog for awhile! We start school on Monday- wish me luck!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wanted to stop by today to share some information about two really great classes being offered by <a href="http://tinyurl.com/c82q6rc"><strong><span style="font-size: large;">Studio Calico</span></strong>!</a> If you are a scrapbooker, you know that the most important part of what we do is the documentation! We need <strong>PHOTOS</strong> and we need <strong>WORDS</strong>. We want our creations to tell the story of our families. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://tinyurl.com/c82q6rc">Studio Calico</a> has found a way to help us in those two very special areas! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first is called<span style="font-size: large;"><strong> <a href="http://tinyurl.com/ka2bnpf">SNAPHOT</a></strong></span>- join April Foster in shooting a photo a day in September and learn to capture all of the little details that add up to your favorite memories.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://tinyurl.com/ka2bnpf"><img alt="http://tinyurl.com/ka2bnpf" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW9CcbpVoeGhQyyRZ7FcLh7y22jL0p6BTJpwomuvIzxt6_jvfOfTeUfV-Nl8__U7jVtw92czW1P2XL2V-66yWvBja5Nc-qV47c5nY8pr-FAir9gvEXDGTmh6nH-zvYItQcYZu4jmuCxdGk/s1600/snapshotslide1.jpg" height="444" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The second is called <span style="font-size: large;"><strong><a href="http://tinyurl.com/mh8vg48">PEN & PAPER</a></strong></span>- join Laura Kurz and take your layouts to the next level by seeing how you can use words to truly make a page. From journaling prompts to interviewing your loved ones, this class will explore many different ways of looking at life to tell your story. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://tinyurl.com/mh8vg48"><img alt="http://tinyurl.com/mh8vg48" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg51Qe7u5LOMlZKpH1WuhDlTlOZxfl8hPxlWnt6LKIxN0ckX3EskHDuOWl5jbOvSgqNhF-3kNIuxx0h0DPmBB3lX_k6VncP9pw8DuxPq0zmzC5TLs3FqDVsJZYe3b-lvPa2P8DMMh46jjH3/s1600/penandpapersneak1.jpg" height="444" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They've even made it super simple for you to enroll in BOTH! You can find the <span style="font-size: large;"><strong><a href="http://tinyurl.com/kg7nn3e">Photos + Words Bundle HERE!</a></strong></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>
Hi!</strong></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's been a busy week! I've started this exciting, overwhelming new phase in my life as a 6th grade teacher and I've been been TIRED! Haha!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wanted to stop by tonight and share some more of my <a href="http://tinyurl.com/c82q6rc"><span style="font-size: large;">Studio Calico</span></a> projects from this month! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I fell in LOVE with the <a href="http://tinyurl.com/ojlyxlk"><span style="font-size: large;">Teachers Pet Stamp + Die Set</span></a> (for obvious reasons!) and used it a couple of times already!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's what I made with this set:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I whipped up a quick thank you card to have on hand! I love slipping these into Aden and Austin's folders to give a little pick-me-up to their teachers! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On this one, I stamped the pencils directly onto this fun sheet of patterned paper and colored the pencils with Copics. Then, I stamped the banner, cut it out, and attached it with foam tape.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I LOVE the stamps in this kit! And I really put them to use this month! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I was inspired by the fabulous </span><a href="http://www.wingsofabutterfly-vanessa.blogspot.de/"><span style="font-size: large;">Vanessa Menhorn</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> and </span><a href="http://www.studiocalico.com/galleries/124887-celebrate-today"><span style="font-size: large;">THIS</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> card that she made- love how she stamped her floral background! I "lifted" her card for one of my projects in my gallery this month!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(You can see her full gallery <a href="http://www.studiocalico.com/users/*Vanessa%20Menhorn*">HERE</a>)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here's how I made my card:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgErCnBMmPNPW1ePU2A3vSyyo0N3A0CWIK-WcjWMHXZFS9-9XgwwTkGFsin4jw1A6Kh4Kk2qLoG94pOVgWQFh0a8vLInaJ4qjBxqqhQPKqR1YeJFohzmZSZnxSuCv6vXHSqSubn89yxlTLl/s1600/steps.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgErCnBMmPNPW1ePU2A3vSyyo0N3A0CWIK-WcjWMHXZFS9-9XgwwTkGFsin4jw1A6Kh4Kk2qLoG94pOVgWQFh0a8vLInaJ4qjBxqqhQPKqR1YeJFohzmZSZnxSuCv6vXHSqSubn89yxlTLl/s1600/steps.jpg" height="640" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>1. Gather supplies.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I grabbed some white cardstock, patterned paper, <a href="http://tinyurl.com/brdtkdz">Versafine Onyx Black ink</a>, stamps (from the <a href="http://tinyurl.com/ot5bpeu">Squints</a> kit!), <a href="http://tinyurl.com/pr3dq6e">waterbrush</a>, <a href="http://tinyurl.com/clrd4k6">Peerless Transparent Watercolor Papers</a>, and some tape.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>2. Stamp your background.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I took three different sizes of the rose bud stamps and stamped them randomly to cover the card front.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>3. Paint.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I chose three colors and watercolored over the stamped images.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>4. Finishing touches.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I splattered some black paint, added a sentiment, and adhered the stamped sheet to a card base!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<strong><span style="font-size: large;">
Hi!</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sorry it's been so quiet around here! Summer is taking over! We had a great trip up to Delaware to visit with family and now we're home and getting back into the swing of things.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And now that I'm home, I'd LOVE to share some of the cards I made for the latest <a href="http://tinyurl.com/c82q6rc">Studio Calico</a> release! I was amazed to see that the <a href="http://tinyurl.com/lur9s9e"><span style="font-size: large;">Pinball Card Add-on</span></a> is still available for purchase! I would buy this kit for the stamps alone- they're absolutely beautiful! Check it out!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These awesome stamps were created by <a href="http://www.1canoe2.com/">OneCanoeTwo </a>for <a href="http://tinyurl.com/c82q6rc">Studio Calico</a>- and they're absolutely perfect... not kidding. Gorgeous sentiments, great floral images that are great for building, love it all...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are a couple projects I created with this kit-</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijHXAeqau7CEHv6E20zNALywgffKQ8dCbEuIaCDUcoLTEko-6QEb6lyc8F-3mpKboeDDe3Tkd0iliR5rBJshK9QU3UC3cl49gt0HO3MqjNsy9J8dBx8TGtUtUwh4G7LIT1K8TNI_-PQ2Yv/s1600/thank+you.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijHXAeqau7CEHv6E20zNALywgffKQ8dCbEuIaCDUcoLTEko-6QEb6lyc8F-3mpKboeDDe3Tkd0iliR5rBJshK9QU3UC3cl49gt0HO3MqjNsy9J8dBx8TGtUtUwh4G7LIT1K8TNI_-PQ2Yv/s1600/thank+you.jpg" height="640" width="510" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Again.... I LOVE these stamps.... sigh...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started by stamping my sentiment with <a href="http://tinyurl.com/obdlhyj">Yes Peas Color Theory Ink from Studio Calico</a>. I masked the sentiment by stamping it on a sheet of scrap paper, cutting it out, and laying it over my card sentiment. Then, I stamped the floral images I wanted, building the images with the different stem and flower components. SO fun.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then, I pulled out my <a href="http://tinyurl.com/clrd4k6">Peerless Transparent Watercolors</a> and painted the flowers a bit. To make the flowers really pop off the page, I outlined the images with a T1 Copic marker.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used the beautiful <a href="http://tinyurl.com/lw7ag5f">Penny Arcade Cut Files by Kim Stewart</a> on this one! I cut them with my <a href="http://tinyurl.com/p8h3vbd">Cameo</a> using white cardstock and backed each leaf with the awesome honey tan paper from the paper pad that comes in the kit. I contrasted that with the beautiful blue polka dot paper. And how awesome is that sentiment- great, bold sentiment to really make an impact on a card!</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">
Happy Release Day, folks!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm here today to share some projects I created with my favorite thing from this month- the </span><a href="http://tinyurl.com/obots3r"><span style="font-size: large;">Funnel Cake stamps!</span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://tinyurl.com/ldjvg2c"><img alt="http://tinyurl.com/ldjvg2c" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVuxF0bfDZ0YeT8CEOFPerDKaY21aezoHtlvcP7u3tV14Aj4R09Vqcoh3I-cVp52pEyO_vyL7_eVEuapbTy7z8bmeHwrzz-SDwwhaYvnPF2OWK104AuQJIORzig_ewWAqfSB6Su0nwwdF-/s1600/funnel+cake.jpg" height="321" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, the biggest question I've seen come up on the message boards about this stamp set is how to use it if you don't have an acrylic block big enough! This stamp is a big one- and I've heard lots of suggestions- but I thought I'd show you how I use large stamps like this<strong> WITHOUT a block!</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's easy peasy and works like a charm! Take a look:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwd6dYrRJP5CQcVwFq2O_UFuHopv6Ww8ZGaETnB71C_n3Ez0BZJL_dr6JcHIVeESStX0nL_jwgHXBvnmN5HSuhIcoFSHaTCbqcIC1XV6twokMhTZMcgtTo404mPJwOy0nUMCbJVzccTuFn/s1600/stamp+tutorial.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwd6dYrRJP5CQcVwFq2O_UFuHopv6Ww8ZGaETnB71C_n3Ez0BZJL_dr6JcHIVeESStX0nL_jwgHXBvnmN5HSuhIcoFSHaTCbqcIC1XV6twokMhTZMcgtTo404mPJwOy0nUMCbJVzccTuFn/s1600/stamp+tutorial.jpg" height="640" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>1. Gather supplies.</strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You'll need the stamp, some ink (I used Versafine Onyx Black), cardstock, and a brayer. You could also just use your hands- would work fine, too!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>2. Carefully peel the stamp off the packaging.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>3. Stick your stamp to your desk stamp side up.</strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We're using our desks as the block!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>4. Press down</strong>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Press down the stamp to make sure that it doesn't wiggle around at all. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You want it to be nice and secure on your desk.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>5. Ink it up!</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Generously apply ink to the stamp to cover.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>6. Carefully place your cardstock on top of the inked stamp.</strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is where you have to be very careful- if that cardstock shifts, you won't have a nice image! Make sure to hold it down gently with one hand.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>7. While holding the cardstock, gently roll over the cardstock and stamp with a brayer.</strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can also just use your hands to gently press the paper onto the stamp, but I've found that I get a clearer, more crisp image with the brayer!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>8. Carefully lift the paper off of the stamp.</strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Take your time and make sure not to drop the cardstock back down on the ink.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>9. Admire your stamped image!</strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">EASY, right!?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After stamping the image, I cut around the entire shape of the country and set out to make a card for my Project Life album. We're getting ready to take a road trip up to Delaware to visit family, so I thought this would be a great addition to help document the trip! I'll also be posting this on Instagram and Facebook to tell our family and friends that we'll see them soon! A fun little announcement of our trip!</div>

I wanted to stop by and share a page I created using the <a href="http://tinyurl.com/ppp34n9"><span style="font-size: large;">G'Day Project Life Add-on</span>-</a> for some crazy reason... this kit is STILL AVAILABLE! It most likely won't be for long so make sure you check it out!</div>

So the cute stamps in the <span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://tinyurl.com/oek3zq9">Studio Calico Ciao Card Add-on Kit</a></span> have really gotten a lot of use around here lately!

Today, I'm going to show you how I made these super easy cupcake toppers that would be perfect for a baby shower or baby birthday party!</div>

<strong>1. Gather supplies</strong> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For this project, I used the <a href="http://tinyurl.com/oek3zq9">Ciao Card Kit</a>, the <a href="http://tinyurl.com/ps9bv82">Animal Dies</a>, Color Theory ink (<a href="http://tinyurl.com/oyk954j">Something Blue</a>, <a href="http://tinyurl.com/o8xz2qk">Emerald City</a>, and <a href="http://tinyurl.com/m2b3t4l">Orange County</a>), double sided tape, and toothpicks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<strong>2. Die cut</strong></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used my Cuttlebug and the <a href="http://tinyurl.com/ps9bv82">Animal Dies</a> to create a bunch of fun die cut shapes. I cut out a bunch really quickly!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<strong>3. Cut a bunch</strong> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Make sure to cut two for each cupcake you have.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<strong>4. Stamp</strong></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ink up your stamp and stamp your image on the die cut! I love how easy it is to create perfectly cut images with these coordinating dies!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<strong>5. Stamp a bunch</strong></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Stamp on enough die cuts to top all our your cupcakes. It might take you a couple tries to line up the stamps perfectly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<strong>6. Adhere toothpick in place</strong></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Grab a plain white die cut shape and cover it with double sided tape. Lay the toothpick in the center and cover with your stamped die cut shape. Press to adhere.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<strong>7. Repeat</strong></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Repeat this for each of the cupcakes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<strong>8. Place in cupcake</strong></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Place the toothpicks in the cupcakes!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I fell in LOVE with that woodgrain paper from the kit and knew I wanted to make it stand out on my card! I layered it with this awesome <a href="http://tinyurl.com/kpzptaj">Ampersand Cut File by Paige Evans!</a> Love this cut! I couldn't resist that pretty felt in the kit so I used the die to cut some fun shapes and layered them down the front of the card. </div>

And I LOVE the bright colors in this kit, so I had to bring em out! I layered some fun papers from the 6x6 pad and simply stamped some of the flowers from the stamp set to create a focal image. Tied a button with the twine from the kit to finish it off!</div>

This sketch is so fun! I used it as inspiration for this card that I created using the Camelot Card Kit. Along the diagonal section, I stamped some floral images to peek out under the die cut scalloped circle. I stamped the flowers off on scrap paper before stamping them on the card to achieve a softer look. I also stamped some flowers and hand cut them to use as accents around the scalloped circle element. </div>

<br />
<div align="center">
I love using stamps to create my own patterns for cards! I'm always looking for flat cards and using stamps is a great way to add interest without the bulk! I used the floral stamps from the Morgan Card Kit and some pretty Color Theory inks and stamped repeatedly in different colors to create a pattern. SO fun!</div>
