I have a guest stamper today, friend and Team member, Shari Wicks. She created this snappy card from the Botanical Prints Product Medley #151301. WHAT is a product medley??
A "product medley" is a grouping of products that coordinate, for the avid crafter to create their own designs. LOTS of parts that work great together!!
The black and white designer paper really POPS this design!
Shari did a great job of creating a VERY appealing card!
I recommend the Stamparatus Positioning Tool #146276 to stamp this two-step stamp set called Morning Star #151699.
The Stamparatus #146276 gives precise repeated stamping!!
This is such a beautiful image! The Whisper White layer is die cut with my favorite Stitched So Sweetly Dies #151690. The designer paper is Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper #148100.
This stamp set is for the experienced stamper.

What is "PAPER PIECING?" It's similar to quilting with paper. Designer papers are cut and put together to create a design. These polka dot high heels are a perfect example!! Each shoe was stamp on polka dot paper and again on yellow paper from the Best Dress 6 X 6" Designer Series Paper #151319. Then they were die cut and fussy cut to create the two colors on a single shoe to look like fun contrasting shoe lining!!
This is the ultimate GIRLY bundle, Dressed to Impress Bundle #153832!!

I needed a peaceful card and this Beautiful Moments Stamp Set #151677 was the perfect solution!
This image is so thoughtful and calm. It looks breezy so I chose the Parisian Flourish 3D Embossing Folder #151474 for the layer because of the swirls. The designer paper is Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper #149100 with soft flowers.
The base card is Petal Pink. Black would be too harsh so I chose Crumb Cake Ink Pad.
