Pun in the Sun card

It's Megan here, thrilled to be working with these brand new stamps! I just adore the new Pun in the Sun set! For this first project I wanted to go with something that just SCREAMED summer to me. For me, that's sitting in a chair by the beach. I adore those photos of the back of a chair under a palm tree, looking out at the water. That's the feel I was going for here.

I used the Life is a Beach cricut cartridge to cut the Bazzill cardstock into the wave card, palm trees and beach chair. I used the 'Shore do miss you' stamp from the Pun in the Sun set and heat embossed it.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and be on the lookout for LOTS more Pun in the Sun projects from me. For more details on this card, stop by my blog.

Bright and Happy Birthday card!

It's Megan, back again with a very bright and cheery birthday card. When I saw this stamp I knew I wanted to do something with masking, but I was a little afraid. I am fairly new to stamping and masking is something I haven't done a lot of. So, the first couple of times that I used this stamp, I just used it as is. Finally, I had to give it a try with the masking though. 

I am not going to lie and say this was an easy stamp to mask. The 'wishing you' part is kind of connected to the circle that I wanted to mask out. I stamped on a scrap paper, then carefully cut out the circle. For the black words, I inked the stamp in black and then rubbed as much of the ink as I could off of the circle with a tissue, before fitting the cut-out circle over it. I figured by putting the mask right on the stamp, I would have a better chance of getting perfect placement. The ink that was left on the circle made the scrap stick. Then I positioned the hole in the scrap paper over that stamp and re-stamped in bright pink.

The stamp is from the Tag You're It ONE set. 

It's not perfect, but I love the effect so I played it up with some teal and pink. See my blog for more details.
