Hooray It’s Your Day card kit variations

The Hooray It’s Your Day Card Kit comes with tons of cool supplies:

The dark stencils are re-usable and there are enough supplies to make 20 cards and envelopes. There are photos of each of the cards, but I made some that were a little different.

For the first one I used the resist background and some sponge daubers with ink. The white chevron lines are already on the paper and they resist the ink which is a fun effect,  much as if you had heat embossed the design with white embossing powder. I colored the clear rhinestones with the Blendabilities markers to match the flowers, I love that I can customize the embellishments that way.

For the second card I used the sunburst stencil and another sponge dauber with ink. I really like the way it turned out. Just a little washi tape and the wooden hello finish of this simple card.
So even if you get one of these kits don’t feel like you have to make all the cards the same as the directions – play around a little bit and see what you can come up with!

SU Something Lacy stamp

The new Something Lacy background stamp really caught my eye and I could think of at least three ways I wanted to use it before I even ordered it. Does that ever happen to you? It’s kind of fun. My first idea was to use the Blendabilities alcohol markers:

I was ready to use some pinks and purples and I was happy with how they colored the stamp but didn’t completely cover up the pattern. I used my panel for the front of a birthday card:I’ll share my other two ideas soon – embossing with clear and using Blendabilities and embossing with white.

How would you use the stamp?
