Ahoy there, Fairy!!

(This is post #2 today.  Scroll down for the Mark's Finest Papers release!)

Don't let this ship sail without you!  You should have come by way of Katie's blog.  If not, swim back to the beginning of the Paper Makeup Stamps June hop!

A couple of weeks ago, I found these darling, preprinted notecards in the Target Dollar spot. Ten card bases for a buck...you can't go wrong with that. Especially since I had been musing over these nautical fairies and stamp set by Paper Makeup Stamps which needed more ink time!

A few nesties stacked together...plus a fabulous PMS sentiment!

A manly birthday card!

Tell someone you care...in a "non girlie" way!

Nesties... a stamping gal's best friend!

Just because card...b/c everyone likes to be remembered! But, there are several more sea faring fairies.  Click on over to the store and check them out!

I ended up making two of each card and now I have a nice set of stationary cards to gift to someone.  Perhaps my next project should be a box to store them.  

Now, after you've dropped an anchor (aka a comment) here row on over to Randee's blog for a chance for pirate treasure.    (Hey, a parrot told me it's a mystery treasure...valued at $40!!!  Oh yeah...comment away!)  Here's a map if you need some help navigating the inky seas today!

All Aboard!!

Toot toot!

I just can't resist tooting a horn over Mark's Finest Paper's latest release.  Today, we are celebrating the new set "All Aboard!"

Did you know how flexible these stamps really are? If you are more of the streamlined, CAS stamper, check out this example:

For more examples, chug along to the MFP company blog.  You'll find the full blog hop line up as well!  Leave comments along your trip and you'll be entered to win free stamps!

Envelope Card

When I saw today's TLC challenge on SCS, I knew I"d make one of these envelope cards.  Take a long envelope and score it at 2 3/8 so that the sides meet in the middle.  Decorate as needed.  Then, design a card that is 4.25 x 4 inches when folded.  I used ribbon for a belly band.

Upclose of the inside card.  All stamps from Paper Makeup Stamps.   Keep your eyes open for the new design team announcement...coming soon!

Corrosive!

Lucky me...I'm back on the Corrosive Challenges by Janet team!  I had a really fun time working with Janet and her designers a while back.  So when I thought a weekly challenge blog was what I needed to add to my summer, I sent her an email!

Paper Pretties is one of this month's sponsers for the the challenges.  I paired this bath tub beauty with a fun sentiment from Paper Makeup Stamps.  Funny that his name is Cooper and a cooper was someone who made barrels!  I thought this would be a fun card to send to my nephew who is loving the water now he can enjoy his very first summer!

This week's challenge is to use "summer colors."  With that in mind, I chose the blue of the water or the sky and the yellow of the sunshine.  Be sure to link up your designs on the Corrosive Challenges by Janet blog.  We would love to see what you come up with!

You know what Friday Means...

over at Paper Makeup Stamps...

Yeppers! Another freebie! Isn't it fun to get new sentiments! This week's phrase had to be made for this set of fairies:

It's a perfect combination!!  Click on over to the Paper Makeup Blog and download this file for yourself.  Then, you probably will want to flutter over to the PMS site and order yourself this sweet pair to go along with the sentiment!  (Pssst...it's 25% off.  Don't miss out!)

Isn't this the 4th freebie friday from PMS?  I sure hope we get 4 more!!

Cherries are Sweet...and so are die cuts! I love how this fairy from Paper Makeup Stamps has her own sentiment!
