So...all entered now? OK on to today's post a fabulous card by Tina!

Have ya ever seen something and just simply fell head over heels? Well, when I saw this layout on one of those free idea sheets at a big box store, I knew I just HAD to give it a whirl! I've never done a monotone type card before, but I have done and seriously lurves me some little panels and color blocking. I had to change it up a bit and add my own little flair...you know me ;)

Of course I couldn't resist pulling out my much loved "go to" set of stamps for this one. I loved "coloring" in all those little panels with the same color I was stamping with...what a great effect. Why haven't I done this before??? The original used the same stamp for all the panels...can someone say boring? Also the main sentiment/focal point panel was straight and theirs was just a picture, not sentiment...again, boring. I also added that jaunty little bow....you all know how much I puffy heart me some ribbon! I love how it turned out but am open for your suggestions on how to change it up even more....

Wavy Flowers

If I had to name just one thing that I loved about Denami Design, I wouldn't be able to answer...there are just too dang many! That being said, one of the many things, would definitely be how the older and newer stamps work so well together and compliment each other.

And we can't forget the inside...

I just love pulling out handfuls of stamps and not having to worry if they will work together or not. That darling little wavy stem trio just works with everything! As usual, I'm holding back on my bling...I know, this card was screaming (seriously, I could hear it up on the 2nd floor...) for glitter but it's against the OWH rules and for good reason.

Supplies:

Thanks for stopping by...Tina

Quilt Blocks

A few years back I decided to make my hubby a quilt and I chose a Fence Rail design. It's made up of small strips sewn into blocks, then the blocks are all sewn together (in alternating directions) to make up the quilt. My quilt was much loved, well used and has since been retired. Seeing it hanging on the quilt rack in my bedroom inspired me to try out this little card....



I had a hard time not adding a little sparkly bling to this card, but it's going into the collection I'm sending to Operation Write Home and they can't have sparkles getting onto the service men/womens uniforms. They send blank cards to soldiers for them to write home to loved ones with...what a great thing to do isn't it?!?!

Supplies:

Chocolate Brown Grosgrain Ribbon

Ornamental Flowers stamp set

Sending You Sunshine sentiment

Zigzag Stitched Border

Have a great day...Tina

You're A Hoot

Aren’t these little guys just darling?!?!

I spent quite a bit of time die cutting and embossing my circles otherwise this card went together very quickly. The larger circles are adhered to the card base with the smaller ones popped up.

Tip:
 If you want a quick and easy card that’s just as adorable, or don’t have this die cut, try the Marvy circle or square punches.

Supplies:

C81 You’re a Hoot sentiment

PF32 Owls Stamp Set
PF50 Ornamental Flowers Stamp Set
PC47 Celery card stock
RB-7317 Chocolate grosgrain ribbon

Elegant Floral Wreath

When I saw this little stamp set, I just knew it was going to be my "go to" set. I just can't get enough of it! It's amazing and versitle on it's own, but when you pair it up with DeNami's other stamps...the creativity is limitless!

And now for the inside (can't have all that lovely work just on the front now can we):

Supply List:

•  PF50 Ornamental Flowers Stamp Set
• M73 Elegant Floral Wreath

Thankful for you

First off, I have to apologize for the quality of the photos for this particular card. I couldn't find and angle where there wasn't a glare, or that you could see all the little subtleties so after taking entirely too many shots from various angles I just gave up - HA! (again, NOT a photographer....).



And now for a closer look:



Stamps used for this card: PF50 Ornamental flowers, E144 Thankful for you, E150 Water Lily.

Water Lily

This is the first post with my new stampin' blog that is dedicated to my addiction to Denami Stamps. First of all let me say, that this is a company that "gets" it.....quality, customer service....they are AWESOME! I had the unique pleasure of working with them this past winter when they attended a local stamp show in Columbia, SC. I was a HUGE fan before that show, but after that show....I am down right addicted (for which an intervention is NOT needed and all enabling is encouraged LOL!)

So for my first card - I used some of the newly released stamps that I received last week. I am working on the quality of the pics - I make cards I am not, nor have I ever been (or claimed to be) a photographer....just ask my kids ha!....




How about a little closer view.....



This card was made using the following stamps: C57 Mini dot wreath, PF50 Ornamental Flowers, and E150 Water Lily. I also used Denami cardstock and the pink grosgrain ribbon also from....you guessed it....Denami!
