Bee Kind card

 

I love the small stamp sets from Colorado Craft Company.  I think I have almost all of them now.  I get most for free when I buy stamps because I do tend to buy quite a few at a time.  My bad.  But seriously, who know that bees have lips?  Love it.

Catch A Dream Card

I do enjoy working on cards that involve the moon and stars.  This adorable stamp set has so many different sayings that it's going to be fun to create different cards with it.  This card was my first successful embossing.  I had bought a Martha Stewart set over a year ago and tried using it off and on.  I finally switched out the ink pad and it was a night and day difference.  I'll be embossing a lot more now.
