Happy Earth Day

Happy Earth Day Stampers!

 

Today we celebrate the 46th anniversary of the very first Earth Day.  In 1970 this day was established, creating a movement to raise awareness and make efforts to protect the Earth. 

 

As a child, I remember planting trees at my elementary school every Earth Day.  I'm thinking today may be a good day to pass that tradition on to my kiddos!

 

What will YOU do to make the Earth a better place today?

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Whisper White, Real Red

Ink ~ Basic Black, Cucumber Crush, Bermuda Bay

Stamp Set ~ Going Global, Alphabet Rotary Stamp

Other Supplies ~ Circle Framelits, Itty Bitty Accents Punch, World Traveler Embossing Folder

 

I am really going to miss the Going Global suite!  This has been one of my favorites in this years Occasions Catalog!

 

But, as we mourn the loss of so many of our favorite retiring items, we can always find happiness in knowing that there are some AMAZING new products coming our way!

 

Happy Earth Day and Happy Stamping!

Going Global Love

I'm back with a second post today...Happy Friday!

 

We are having some fun stepping things up over at Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration today! 

 

With an extra layer, a little bit of bling or some added ink, you can step any card up in a hurry, which never seems to be a problem for me.  I ALWAYS want to keep adding layers and bling and ink to my cards!

 

I started out with this cute and simple creation that would make a great masculine Valentine's card.

Then I went and stepped things up by adding an extra layer of paper, a little bit of metallic thread and some extra stamping.  Not a lot, but enough to really turn a simple card in to a WOW card!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Lost Lagoon, Very Vanilla, Going Places DSP, Real Red

Ink ~ Lost Lagoon, Basic Black

Stamp Set ~ Going Global

Other Supplies ~ Circle Framelits, Silver Metallic Thread, Star Framelits, World Traveler Embossing Folder, Lost Lagoon Striped Cotton Ribbon, Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack

I hope you enjoyed these cards today!

 

Have a fabulous weekend and Happy Stamping!

My dad loves the beach as much as I do, so this was created with him in mind as he celebrated his birthday yesterday.  Happy Birthday Dad!

 

Isn't that DSP PERFECT for this card?  The soft swirls reminds me of the ocean!

 

Happy Stamping!
