The Sleepover

 A closer look at the cute stamp
 The inside of my card.
What I love most about Cute As A Button 
Stamps is you can find one for any occasion! I recently stayed with a dear friends of mine so I could attend the Scrapbook Expo in Puyallup, Washington. It is a fun filled time and my friends make sure I have a good time no matter what. I wanted to make a thank you card for them and this is what I came up with. If you have not tried Cute As A Button Stamps I hope this card will inspire you to do so. I hope everyone is having a fun time during these summer months and I hope you are taking time to craft.

Congrats Graduate

I love this Graduate digi stamp!  I had to make a quick card for my daughter's step sister, and the fun thing about stamps is, you do not HAVE to use the entire image.  So, I just used the top half so she would fit int he circle.  Her school colors are black, gold and purple.  I used a gold card base and then used just a touch of purle and black.  Using my CTMH cardstock I embossed and sanded the purple.  I used my round dies to cut the circles.  I added some gold gems and some fancy gems and topped the entire thing off with some flowers, another flourish die and a black bow.  Oh, and I used the word die.  This took me 15 minutes to make.  Gotta love the CAS quick cards!

Thanks for looking!
