The Lots of Thanks stamp set is the perfect stamp set to create stationery sets.  With the classic fonts and swirls it tugs at the part of me, who loves stationery stores.

Today head on over to the Lawn Fawn Blog to check out another new stamp and coordinating die set, called Love You Tons.  This is a 2x3 mini stamp set. I wanted to make a non-tradition Valentines Day card (with my colors).  I love the way the pink and green look together.  I stamped my images, die cut them out, and then colored them in.  Before I adhered them to the card with 3D foam squares, I stamped the hearts and sentiment.   materials used: Lawn Fawn Love you Tons stamp set Lawn Fawn Love You Tons die set Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam Squares green card stock pink card stock copic markers black ink red ink

Today, the CardMaker Blog Team is showcasing projects using the fun new We R Memory Keepers Punch Boards.  This was my very first time using a Punch Board, and honestly I was a little scared at first.  However, the instructions are very clear, and it was extremely fast and easy to finish the bags shown below.  What I really love about this punch, is how versatile it is with the different sized bags I have the choice in making.  Click on this link here, to watch a video on the board I used.   (it's the first video, the yellow bag punch) Please take a few minutes, to visit the following blogs.
