Sunny Petal Paddler!

It's been Sneak Peek Week for the Stampendous Design Team. We've been sharing some of our samples we created for the Stampendous January 2018 catalog.  I just love these new images, they have been so much fun to work with!

Today I'm sharing a card that uses one of the new 6" x 6"  cling stamps from Stampendous called Sunny Sketch (6CR004). It is a fabulous background for the adorable Petal Paddler from the House Mouse line (HMM20). A match made in heaven!

This week the Stampendous Design team continues our "Under the Sea" theme. Stampendous has so many wonderful products that fit this category! I'm lucky to be provided these images by Stampendous so I can create samples to share with you! (and, of course, for them!).

Today I'm sharing a card using two awesome sea-themed images, the Jellyfish, P3030, and Octopus, V333. Pair them with words for the great Nautical Treasures PCS, SSC1262, and it's easy to create a beautiful card.
