Sent With Love Card
This is one of our latest kits which I created using a variety of punches and with card stock that's been in my stash for quite some time. I created this simply sweet card for a January day crop in Angola, DE. The project was so well-received that I used it in my January Modern Maturity Class. The ladies love it. I only have six kits available for sale. All you need is adhesive and foam dots or tape. Everything else, including the directions, are in the kit. To order your kit, click here.

Rubber Stamp Tapestry Seahorse Garden Stamp Set
I absolutely love the
Seahorse Garden Peg Stamp Set SAQ00006. I created the card base by cutting and
8 ½” x 11” piece of the The Paper Cut’s Lunar
Blue Cardstock in half for an 8 ½” x 5 ½” card. I then scored a line at the 4
¼” position and fold the card in half. That gives us an A2 card measuring 4 ¼”

I used the following Memento inks on this project: Large n
Seahorse – Danube Blue #600; Tiny Seahorse -- #200; Starfish – Solid Tart #703;
Anemone Flower – Lulu Lavender #504; and the Kelp closes out the place – Teal
Zeal – #602.
To finish out the nautical theme, I used elements from Elizabeth
Craft’s Shells Large set #1146. I cut out the dies using Elizabeth Craft’s
White Soft Finish Card Stock, 85-pound weight. I colored the die cuts with Pan
Pastels using 340.5 Permanent Red on the crab and 925.5 Pearlescent Orange on
