Guest Designing for Hambo Stamps!

Hello! Today I am honored to be the guest designer for Hambo Stamps! It was such a wonderful surprise to be asked and I really hard a difficult time picking the stamps to work with. 

Have you seen their stamps???  They are so funny.  I really chuckled going through their site.  I ended up choosing to work with this adorable giraffe and coordinating Above & Beyond sentiment.  My oldest daughter has a thing for giraffes and just loved this fella!

For my first card I paired them together and added a bunch of twine to create the giraffe's mane and tail:

For my second card I wanted to show an entirely different look for the giraffe so I stamped him three times on solid colors to create a welcome baby card:

Thanks Monica and Libby!!

Just a reminder:  As part of Hambo's 10 Year Anniversary Celebration----they are running a free shipping promotion that runs until the end of the day today.  Free shipping anywhere in the U.S. with a $10 minimum purchase.  There is a discount on shipping for international orders as well.

Simple Saturday

My weekend time is usually spend doing family things and time is very limited for stamping. Today, I have two very quick cards to show you (both take about 10 minutes to create!)

The first card was created for the inspiration challenge on Splitcoaststampers. Although it is difficult to see in the picture, there is an embossed edge on the vanilla piece. I just love the simplicity of this. The main image is from SU Garden Silhouettes. The sentiment is from Hero Arts and is available at Stamper's Dream.

Materials used: Stamps-Garden Silhouettes (SU!), sentiment - Hero Arts; cardstock-kraft, vanilla, black; ink-black; markers-orange, mustard, choc chip (SU!); cuttlebug and Nestabilities; black brads; ribbon (SU!); hemp (SU!).

The next card is a quick little card that I made using scraps on my table. It measures 4.25 by 4.25 and will be a cute card when I need one in a pinch! All stamps are by Hambo Stamps. The sentiment cracks me up!



Materials used: Stamps-Hambo; cardstock-black, white, decorative paper by American Crafts; ribbon; markers (SU!); brilliance black ink.

I will be back tomorrow with a short tutorial on the m&m card I posted a few days back. A few have asked for directions and I figured I would post them on here.

I almost have my list done of stamps for sale (What a chore!)
