I used the Blooming with Kindness Stamp Set, along with the Back to Black Designer Paper!  I stocked up on it with the Buy 3, Get 1 Free promotion, so hope you don't get tired of seeing it! :-)  Colors are Real Red, Basic Black and Whisper White.  I added some embossing with the Big Shot on my Real Red strip--for a bit of interest!  Enjoy!!!

Another one for AAA Cards!!

I was so excited--I was named one of the Honor Artists at AAA Cards for my card last week!  (you can see it HERE)  So, of course, I had to play along again! :-)  This week, they have a card to CASE:

I loved this card--so "summery"!!  And, it gave me an excuse to use my current FAV designer paper, Back to Black:

Aaa12tam

I love all the black and white patterns in the pack--so fun and easy to use!  I paired it with the Flower Patch stamp set and Flower Fair Framelits.  I love the simplicity!  Oh, and the colors are Basic Black, Whisper White and Strawberry Slush!  Have a GREAT day!

Faux Tile Card

This was such an easy card to make!  Just score your cardstock across and up/down to create a square grid.  Then, stamp away!!  You can see how the scoring creates "grout lines"!!  Simple and pretty!!
