Sweet Friend


I'm trying to organize all of my clear stamps and I have sooooooo many of those little sets from the dollar bins, which I've never used.  Heck, I don't even remember buying most of them!  These little flowers came with a different sentiment, but with this simple layout, I opted for the simplicity of this Whimsical Designs stamp "sweet friend" from the Everyday Senitments set.  Perfect for this cute little card!  The white circles were cut with my Nesties on a textured card stock.  Look how nice and clean the stamps appear. I used the 12x12 Colorbok card stock pad from Walmart and let me tell you, this stuff works amazingly with the Imagine!  Adds some great texture to your cuts.  And at 5 bucks for a 12x12 pad, you can't go wrong.  The gems also came with the stamp set.  I think there were 12 altogether.  The background is embossed with the  QuicKutz polka dots embossing folder.  The ribbon is American Crafts and I added a button and charm from my stash, tied together with bakers twine.  
Couple of close-ups:




Here is the Whimsical Design stamp set that I used.  Cute, huh?  Click on image and it will take you to Stephanie's shop, where you will find all four sets.

  8. This is such a sweet card! Love the embossing! After I found I bought several of the same stamps I finally put them in the baseball card sleeves that fit in a binder. It is huge and takes forever to look through but at least I can see them!
