Life is Beautiful

Well the weekend is almost over and back to the grind tomorrow.  I went to my stamp club yesterday and had a great time.  We did a technique called emboss resist.  I loved the stamp French Script, I have to get it.  I also like the set Always.  I also found out this weekend what "case" means.  I was telling a friend that I did not like the word "case" when someone elses card has inspired you.  Well, she emailed me and said, "case" means, "Copy and Share Everything".  Case isn't such an awkward word when you use it like that.  I also learned a great technique.  I ordered a few stamp sets from Waltzingmouse Stamps and when I was using a stamp from the Vintage Banner, it was not coming out clean.  There were blotches on my paper.  So I put a message on facebook and I got two great tips.  One said to rub the stamp with an adhesive eraser then clean it.  The other tip was ink the stamp with veramark first and then ink it with the ink pad.  I did this and it really works.  When I finish that card, I will post it.  Here are the two cards I made at my stamp club this weekend.

This card was made with the stampin up set called always.  We used the scallop punch, pinking heart punch and the circle scallop punch.  Great card!

This card was stamped with the French Script stamp and the sentiment is from the style beautiful.  We used the top note, large oval xlarge punch, decorative label punch, and the crumb cake seam binding.
