Hi Folks!
I am going to share a card where I use a mix of stamps from various companies. I know some crafters do not like to do this, but I like getting full use of my supplies and mixing and matching can put together a pretty neat card!
I created a card that shows appreciation for a teacher.
I started with some fun school bus paper which I added to my card base. I rounded the top right corner. Using a Notebook Rubber Cling Stamp by Stampabilities stamped in a light blue ink on white cardstock. I trimmed it out and rounded the corners and placed on an angle. I stamped You Make My Life Brighter from Paper Smooches Giddy Bug set.
Next I grabbed a stamp from Unity's Smarty Pants set and stamped it with black ink on a blue die-cut that I had in my stash of cuts that obviously didn't make the cut on a previous make. When this happens, I keep a ziplock bag of the misfits to use for a future project. :-)
I die-cut an apple using my cricut and added for a decorative touch. An Easy Peasy card to show a teacher they have made an impact!
Further inspiration was found from Mojo Monday's 292 Sketch.
Also linking up to Sunday {Fun}day Linky Party #9!
I hope you have a Fantastic Friday!
