Happy 80th

Our neighbor is turning 80 next week and we wanted a special card

up on dimensionals.

Hope you are having a creative weekend!

The House That Stamps Built: Anything Goes

It's the favorite week at The House That Stamps Built: Anything Goes! I finally

inked up this wonderful  Quartet Stamp: Celebrate Quartet

to built up my birthday stash.  After stamping it in blue, I cleaned my stamp

and inked it up with Versamark and stamped it again and

embossed with clear embossing powder to add texture.   A few layers,

one dry embossed with Cuttlebugs Happy birthday folder and a punched

balloon and I was happy.

stamps with coordinating saying:  I uses Repeat Impressions:

Hot Air Balloon Cluster and Sending Smiles.  From  Pairings:
