What do you do when inspiration just eludes you?
For me – I use our trusty friend, Google!
I had this beautiful stamp set, Lovely Amazing You,
magically delivered to my home yesterday. My fingers just itched
to create something with it … only I couldn’t think of
anything! Oh, my!
Never fear – I CASEd this card from one I found using Google, and
I just love it! I’m sending it to my in-laws today, and I can think of
many variations to make now that I’ve gotten to enjoy
using this stamp set. It’s fantastic!
I substituted a few things on this card – mostly, though,
it’s like the one I found on the Internet. And there was no watermark
on the one I found on the Internet – lesson here, be sure to mark
your cards before you upload them.

Sadly, I can’t enter this into any challenges today since this
cute card’s not an original.

Love the card, no matter what. I think it’s classy looking.
Stamping Tips:
- This is a photopolymer stamp set – Stampin’ Up! comes out with a new one every month, and this was February’s. When you’re stamping with a photopolymer stamp set, I have heard many people in YouTube videos say that you should put a mat underneath your art space so you have some “give” when stamping. Sometimes I do that with my photopolymer stamps, and sometimes I don’t. There doesn’t seem to be the one perfect way to do the stamping for every single stamp set. I would advise trying it both with a pad underneat your art space and also stamping without it to see how your stamp set works the best. Trial and error, my friends, trial and error.
- Sometimes Washi Tape wants to curl off of your project. Burnish it with a bone folder or whatever burnishing tool you use. That will help it stick to your project better.
- Remember, when your base card stock is dark, it’s helpful to adhere a light-colored card stock inside your card for a writing space. This is a perfect place for further embellishment and will help your card look more “finished”.
