The special stamp set we have for you this month is:
"Marsh Silhouettes"
The mini stamp set we have for you this month is
"Lilly of the Valley"
Today's featured stamp set is such a cute set with loads of possibilities! I used the "side step" fold to create this little camping scene! Even though I had not tried this fold before it turned out to be easy and fun to create! I just had to add this sentiment as it cracks me up! I wanted to add the campfire to the scene, so I placed a moon with clouds above the tent instead of a sun although IRL we have had a campfire going on many cold mornings WITH the sun shining!
Next up we have my "Different ways to use a stamp" segment:
I am still behind in my Christmas/Winter cards so I thought I would create a winter scene with the tree image. I have left off the sentiment until I know whether this needs to be a "winter wishes" or "Christmas" card. I think it would do nicely for either one.
I added a little bling to each tree although it's difficult to see on the tree at the left. I thought a pop of red would be fun so I added a Cardinal from, "Christmas Selections".
Thanks for stopping by today! Don't forget to leave a comment for your chance to win today's release! I hope you will stop by my teammates blogs for some fabulous inspiration!

Your side step card is just amazing. I love this scene. And you are so clever to turn those pine trees into snowy winter trees!
ReplyDeleteTwo great cards - I ma never good with the side step ones but you have made it look super. I also love your little bird in the winter trees.
ReplyDeleteWow both card are amazing. And it so funny because I was going for a Christmas look with this stamp set. But I need some more special tools. I just love your Christmas card. TFS AJ-
ReplyDeleteStunning cards. I love your step card scene and the snow scene is totally brilliant.
ReplyDeleteAngie, I am loving your side step cards and the great scene you make. I like how you made the second one into a wintry card, that was a great idea.
ReplyDeleteI just adore both of your cards and am envious of you girls making the sidestep cards. I think I am going to have to give it a go again. Also, the second with the cardinal is awesome.
ReplyDeleteAngie--love the side step card! Just adorable. How creative to make a Christmas themed card too! I never would have thought about doing that! TFS
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are fabulous, but the step card is absolutely amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteYour side step card is great. Those trees look great with a winter approach to them. You have a good eye!

I am loving all the side step cards I have seen with this set and yours is fabulous!!! Great idea to use this for a winter scene also. Lovely cards.
ReplyDeleteWonderful side step...step cards seem to be very popular with this set and I can see why!!! Wonderful winter card too!
ReplyDeleteAngie,
ReplyDeleteYour side step card is wonderful and adorable. And, the sign looks perfect! Your second card is lovely and elegant - and will be perfect for either winter wishes or Christmas.
Making a side step card with this set seems to be the popular idea! I love yours with the moon and the clouds. I also really like your thinking outside the box with your winter card! Great job!
ReplyDeleteGreat fold for your camping card and pretty Winter card.
ReplyDeleteAngie, great work! I don't know why I didn't think of a side step card. It really is perfect for displaying all of the great coordinated images in the set. Also, I think your winter scene is very clever coming for a summer set!
ReplyDeleteWow two great looking cards...
ReplyDeleteThe step card is wonderful!
The snow covered tree scene is fantastic.
well done
Cute Christmas card.
ReplyDeleteGreat cards-the winter scene just shows how to use the stamp set in a totally different setting.
