Granny Card

Tracy said her husband calls this the "Grandma Card"- in case you are wondering why the title of this post is Granny Card. I just love the fact that she stamped the flowers in black and then colored them using a sponge and memory ink. Tracy cut the stamped image in half and used the pieces for each side of the gatefold card.





Supplies used:
Flower stamp and Get Well Soon sentiment- Hero Arts
Inside sentiment- Stampendous
DP- Doodlebug Designs
Crystals- Hero Arts
Cardstock- Bazzil
Memory ink pads

Have a great week! Don't forget to enter our latest contest (see post below).

Another Donna Creation

Is everyone having a nice weekend so far? Here's a card Donna left us with before she went on her trip... It's another Hero Arts card using the clear stamps sets shown here. She achieved the colored background look by using the stamp that looks like a big black block. Her soft and subtle color combinations create a great layered effect. Other supplies used include Bazzil Cardstock, Hero Arts Crystals, and Cuttlebug Embossing Folder.

Stay tuned for a cool contest announcement!

Aloha Friday!

What better way to spend an Aloha Friday than to create a card??? For most of you, today is a holiday... but not for Island Scrapbooking! So if you have no holiday plans, stop by the store and get inspired by some of our samples. The store will be closed tomorrow for the July 4th holiday, so today will be your last chance this weekend to get any needed supplies to keep you busy for the rest of the weekend.

Hula Anya- The Greetings Farm

Have a great Independence Day!

NEW GREETING FARM STAMPS ARE IN!

Here's the new stamps we told you about in the last post...Introducing...

Edward and



Oh Baby! set

Edward is part of the Wild Sprouts line of The Greeting Farm. He has the Eddie Munster hair goin on, though I don't think he was named after him! Think more... Twilight series Edward, which is what he was inspired by... (that's what I hear anyway).

The Oh Baby set is so darling! Perfect for baby announcements, baby scrapbooks, and baby cards! These litle rug rats are cute as a button- you won't want to miss picking them up.

If you want either of these stamps, hurry in soon since there are limited quantities.

New Greetings Farm Stamps!

The new Greetings Farm stamps are here! We just got in the new baby set and Edward (Wild Sprouts) stamp! We'll try to post some samples soon, but in the meantime... if you were waiting for these stamps, head on down soon since supplies are limited.
