Making Spirits Bright

Making Spirits Bright has got to be one of the cutest stamp sets I’ve seen in a long time.  Yes, it may be because I enjoy an adult beverage now and then but I really do like this stamp set!  The images are cute but I think what I really like are the sentiments!

The sentiment on this stamp set is too cute!  “Bring on the Boos”!  Ha!

This is a pretty simple card.  I stamped the bat from Tee-Hee-Hee all over the Tangerine Tango card stock.  The glass and sentiment are all on the same stamp from Making Spirits Bright.  I colored the image, added a few layers and of course some ribbon and my card was done!

Yesterday I had a couple of brand new stampers in my class and it was so fun to see how excited they got when they completed a card.  It was a great reminder of why I do this…not just because I enjoy it but because of the joy it can bring to others.

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!

Yep….I love this stamp set!  Making Spirits Bright is absolutely adorable!  I love this Thanksgiving image and the corresponding saying for the inside.  Giving Thanks…That You’re Hosting Instead of Me!  Ha!  Unfortunately I always host Thanksgiving in the neighborhood so I can’t send this card to anyone!

I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I’ve been favoring “simple” or at least “easier” in my card designs.  What’s with that?  I still like ribbon and lots of layers but everything else is simpler.

On this card I did my multiple layers and just added a little of the Color Me Autumn Washi Tape and some of the beautiful Blackberry Bliss Satin Ribbon.  I used markers to color the toothpick top and the olives and I used a blender pen and ink pad to color the liquid in the glass.  That’s it!

What do you have planned for Labor Day?  We’re heading over to the neighbor’s for our Fantasy Football Draft.  Wish me luck!  🙂

I hope you all have a wonderful Labor Day!  Enjoy your last day of the long weekend!  Take care and Happy Stamping!

Disclaimer:  I had this post ready to go yesterday but was having problems with the link so I didn’t post it.  (That’s my story and I’m sticking to it…)  So here it is finally:

When I think “holidays” Christmas is usually the first thing that comes to mind so I figured I should post a Christmas card for you!

I used the ADORABLE Making Spirits Bright stamp set on this card along with the fun Trim the Tree Designer Series Paper Stack.  Too fun!  I love this stamp set.  It’s the first one in the Holiday Catalog that caught my eye.  It has images for Christmas, Thanksgiving, Halloween, Valentines Day, New Years and Birthdays!  Woo Hoo!  The little sayings that go with it are pretty fun too.
