A Sunbeam To Warm You

Hello and happy hump day friends!  WOW, where has time gone? I have been super busy and totally forgot to post this card here. Today's card is made using a single stamp that was released on May 1 by Our Daily Bread Designs and is perfect to send an encouraging card to someone the stamp I have used is called "Sheltering Angel". In combination with this fabulous stamp I have also used one of the Custom Design Paper Collections by ODBD called Christian Faith Collection and three of the Custom dies, the first is Vintage Labels from the May release and two older ones Beautiful Borders and Fancy Foliage. Have a look at

Welcome to the North Coast Creations May Release Hop!

Hello and welcome to the May North Coast Creations Release Hop!  Today we get to show you two brand new North Coast Creations stamp sets. Grab a cup of coffee or tea and sit back and relax. My first card is a sweet little card perfect for a girl that goes to ballet, or just to brighten someones day. I've used the stamp set "Ballet" and kept it real simple. I created my own background and stamped the ballet slippers all over my white card panel, embossed it with a top note embossing folder. I then stamped the ballet slippers on a white panel that I cut with the Vintage Labels die by ODBD and stamped my sentiment over the middle of the label. Added a sweet seam binding bow and a ballet dancer charm and voila my card was done.
