CARD SAMPLE:
And here's a card sample by Karen with Kimie by Sister Stamps gardening in her yard on a nice sunny summer's day.  In the actual image, Kimie is petting a cute little bunny.   To create this scene, she cut off the bunny and put the gardening tool in Kimie's left hand and the flower stem in her right.   To give the pile of dirt some dimension, she crinkled the cardstock and added a little piece from a cottonball under, then taped the edges down with double-sided tape.  Also, a tiny slit was cut in the "dirt" to place the hand shovel in.

Here are the dies used for this card....

More Card Samples, Store Hours, and Its Official.....

Aloha Everyone.  

Today we're sharing more card samples made by our customers using products from Island Scrapbooking.

First up are two gorgeous cards by Delma.   Creating this ocean-themed card, she inked up Eliana by Sister Stamps, and encircled this inspiring quote with the "Tiffany Fraime" die by Memory Box.  The quote was stamped onto vellum paper.

For this card, she used a daisy embossing folder and colored the flowers and stem with Distress Markers. So pretty! 

The next three cards are by Evelyn.  Awww, don't you love this happy scene?  She inked up Misaki and the "tweet" little birds by Sister Stamps, then paper-pieced the kimono.  The fence was made with the flower punch board cut at 1/2 inch intervals.  Awesome!   She topped it off with a "hello" sentiment using a die by Lawn Fawn, and the "Small Alder Tree" by Memory box as a branch. SWEET!

Next, she created this cool card using a stencil by Memory Box and colored with blue metallic ink pad by Encore.

This next card is perfect for a male.  Using the "hello" die by Lawn Fawn she cut the sentiment out from the quote bubble.  The robots are laser cuts by and from Island Scrapbooking.

And lastly, here's a living room scene card by Karen with LiLi by Sister Stamps hugging her teddy bear.  She used the following dies from Island Scrapbooking:  "Small Madison Window," "Lacy Curtains," "Aston Side Table," "Large Verano Lamp" by Poppy Stamps, and "Puffy Clouds" by Memory Box.
