How does that happen so quickly! Time flies when you're having fun, right?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Today I say farewell to my amazing, talented and loving Stampendous Design Team family. I will miss being part of this wonderful team (but not the deadlines so much!). A huge "Thank You" to Fran and the Stampendous team for placing so much faith in my work all these years, I truly feel blessed to have been a part of your creative family. Most of all, to our utterly amazing, outstanding, lovely and positive Laura, what would I have done without your encouragement and love throughout it all! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being such an inspiration to me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I thought this beautiful Mum Blossoms stamp, paired with the lovely sentiment from the Cling Coneflowers set, was the perfect combination to bid adieu to my team family. I will keep posting and linking to the Stampendous group when I can. Love you all! XOXOXOXOXOXOXO, Louise</span><br />

We are excited to start sharing our samples with you!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We are starting by featuring the new Everyday Chicks Clr/Die Set. This adorable set of chicks and accessories has matching dies. Some of the dies are small, so you can either leave them together or snip them apart, whichever you prefer.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Of course, the chicks are adorable, but I wanted to show you how versatile the stamps in this set can be when paired with other great new stamps like the Big Words Happy PCS (SSC1282). Here's an idea for a fun graduation card (because graduation season is right around the corner!).</span><br />

<b>Step 2:</b> Tape the Egg stencil to a 1 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of white cardstock with removable tape<br />
<b>Step 3:</b> Use 1/4" stencil brushes and the Picasso tool to apply color to the egg design, remove and clean the stencil<br />
<b>Step 4: </b>Place the egg stencil face down (so you can't see the stencil number) on a paper towel and pat the stencil with the Lavender ink pad until the stencil is well coated</div>

<b>Step 5:</b> Place the inked stencil on the platform of a die cut machine, carefully place the stenciled image face down on the stencil, tape in place if desired, add a Rubber Embossing Mat and two cutting mats, run through the die cut machine to dry emboss the image and transfer the Lavender ink to the background<br />
<b>Step 6:</b> Let the embossed image dry for a minute or two then trim to 1 1/8" x 5 3/8", adhere to a bright yellow mat (1 1/4" x 5 1/2"), then to a pink mat (1 3/8" x 5 5/8")<br />
<b>Step 7:</b> Cut a 1" x 1" piece of the Graphic45 paper and stamp the Happy Easter from the Painted Wishes set using Memento Tuxedo Black, edge the piece with a black marker, adhere to a 1 1/4" x 1 1/4" bright yellow mat</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: georgia, "times new roman", "bitstream charter", times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
<b>Step 8: </b>Stamp the dotted bracket from the Bible Journal set twice on a piece of white paper, color with Copic markers, cut out, edge with a black marker<br />

<b>Step 10:</b> Cut a 2 1/2" x 6" piece of the Tiny Green Stripe paper, edge with the YG03 marker, adhere to the bottom edge of the card front<br />
<b>Step 11:</b> Wrap a piece of the ribbon around the middle of the card and attach with Fabri-Tac<br />
<b>Step 12:</b> Tie a small bow and adhere to the ribbon using Fabri-Tac<br />
<b>Step 13:</b> Adhere the Easter Egg Border layer to the bottom area, center the Happy Easter in the top portion, use foam tape to add the brackets around the Happy Easter</div>

<b>Instructions:</b></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: georgia, "times new roman", "bitstream charter", times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
<b>Step 1:</b> Fold a 4 1/4" x 11" piece of Pixie Dust cardstock in half to form an A2 card</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: georgia, "times new roman", "bitstream charter", times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
<b>Step 2:</b> Cut a 4 1/2" x 6 1/4" piece of Double Sided Mounting Paper (MPDS), adhere one side to a 4 3/4" x 6 1/2" piece of white cardstock<br />
<b>Step 3:</b> Pat the back of the Big Dots stencil with VersaMark ink, get a good coating on entire stencil, remove the release paper from the MPDS and place the stencil ink side down over the sticky paper, use release paper to press the stencil firmly against the sticky paper<br />
<b>Step 4:</b> Start with one color of glitter and apply a small amount in a hole, rub it in gently, carefully tap off extra glitter, keep working one color at a time until you have filled all the holes with colored glitter tapping off between colors, lightly brush off any extra glitter from the stencil<br />
<b>Step 5:</b> Place the stencil face down on a clean paper towel, carefully pull the paper off the stencil, keeping the stencil flat on the table, sprinkle the background with Crystal Micro Glitter, set aside</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: georgia, "times new roman", "bitstream charter", times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
<b>Step 6: </b>Stamp the Easter Egg Juggle design on a 4" x 4" piece of white cardstock with the Tuxedo Black ink, color with Copic Markers<br />
<b>Step 7:</b> Use Fitted Frames set A to die cut the image, cut a matching frame from Mint Julep, adhere the two layers together</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: georgia, "times new roman", "bitstream charter", times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
<b>Step 8:</b> Cut two pieces 1 3/4" x 4" from the glittered Big Dots, mount each piece on a 2" x 4 1/4" piece of Mint Julep, adhere near the top and bottom of the card front<br />
<b>Step 9:</b> Adhere a 1/2" x 4 1/4" strip of Pixie Dust to a 3/4" x 4 1/4" piece of Mint Julep, adhere them to the center area of the card between the two glittered areas<br />
<b>Step 10: </b>Use foam tape to attach the Easter Egg Juggle image to the card front<br />
