Starburst Framelits

Have You Herd?

· 2 Comments

I know. I know. That’s not how you spell the word.

It applies to my card share today. A popular one at my last Card Buffet. By the way, I post my Card Buffet board on my Facebook page the Friday before my class if you’d like to take a look.

This card is not a new idea or design. Yes, it’s out there on the interweb already. But, the rock may still be there and you might not have seen it.

So, have you herd –

libbystamps, From the Herd, Starburst Framelits, Project Life Card & Label Framelits, Envelope Punch Board

It’s cute isn’t it?

Very simple and so fun! Especially for those of us who actually remember what this card is duplicating or copying.

And, it’s an excuse to use those Project Life Framelits you just knew you were going to use but have yet to touch.

I bought the photopolymer version of this stamp set. It worked great with the Memento ink and the Piece Mat. Nice and clean stamped image.

I rounded my corners using the Envelope Punch Board. It punched through the front and back of this card with ease. Use your arsenal of forgotten tools and supplies. Each have so many different uses and long to be played with.

Oh what an exciting post today!! As if the rest of the weeks events were not exciting……

Today, my birthday daughter decided to treat herself to a trip for her birthday. A BIG trip! So, of course in mom fashion, I have to document it with a card.

I pulled out the retired stamp set, Sentimental Journey and the DSP, I Am Me. I just happened to find a world map on one of the sheets. So cool! It got the gears to turning…..

But, I was still stumped on a layout……so, I checked my emails and found this sketch over Create with Connie and Mary. Although I think they are looking for fall type entries – it went just perfect for what I had in mind. See the CCMC323 sketch –

CCMC323Very, very appropriate for my focal point, I must say.

And here is what I came up with –

libbystamps, Sentimental Journey, I Am Me DSP, Starburst Framelits, 2 1/2 Circle Punch

Squeal! I love it. I got quite excited with the way it turned out. Happy, happy dance!

So, I don’t care if it’s not a fall themed card – I was inspired and that is the point of card challenges. Thanks!

I am very excited to hear about this latest adventure my daughter is going on. Such a traveler. She can scratch this off her ‘Bucket List’!! SAFE and HAPPY travels my dear!! And, lots of LOVE to you!!!

Happy Stampin’
