We're concluding these series of inspiration hops with three sets: the new StampTV Kit, Hello Sunshine; Birthday Greetings; and the "One Free with 3" stamp set called Life's a Beach.

Here's what I came up with the Hello Sunshine StampTV set.

If you haven't picked up this set, I suggest you do because you're going to love stamping with it! Here's how my card came together

1. Create a top-folding standard size card base.
2. Add a 2-1/2" x 5-1/2" strip of patterned paper at an angle on the card front and sew it in place. Set the card base aside.
3. Stamp the image onto a piece of clear film and run it through the cuttlebug with embossing folder. Adhere it to a piece of kraft card stock with eyelets and add pearls to the middle of the flowers. Adhere it to the card front.
4. Tie a strip of ribbon around the card front at an angle and tie the ends into a bow. Set it aside.
5. On  a piece of card stock, stamp the sentiment, punch it out, and adhere it to a slightly larger oval. Add some dots around the edge, a pearl above the "i", and set an eyelet on the left end of the oval.
6. Thread a strip of ribbon through the eyelet and tie it around the bow. With that, you are done!

Next up is a card with Birthday Greetings.

This set has the most delightful greetings and it's easy to make them the ceter of attention. Here's how my card came together.

1. Create a 4-1/4" x 4-1/4" card base.
2. Add a 4" x 4" piece of patterned paper to the card front and set it aside.
3. Stamp the sentiment onto a 2-3/4" x 2-3/4" piece of white card stock and round off the corners.
4. Cut a scalloped square using nestabilities and add the stamped square on top of that.
5. Adhere square to the middle of card front and add pearls around the scallops.
6. Finish the card off with a bow and rose in the middle of the bow.

Last, but not least, is a card with the "One Free with 3" stamp set called Life's a Beach.

It came together quite quickly - love that! Here's how:

1. Create a top-folding standard size card base.
2. Add a 2-1/2" x 4-1/4" strip of patterned paper to the bottom of the card front.
3. Tie a strip of ribbon and a bow with a felt flower in the middle of the bow towards the right of the card front.
4. Stamp the sentiment above the ribbon and set cart base aside.
5. On a wooden frame, stamp the seashells, add a bit of stickles for accents, and apply to the card base with pop-dots once they're dry. With that, you are done!

Your cards are always so lovely ~ Very pretty designs and color palette! Thank you so much for your inspiration!!!

[Jan Henry]

Really enjoy all of your cards.

[Pat Jandacek]

Three wonderful cards! The flowers on the first one I would have sworn were 3D. I really like the treatment of the tag, too. The square card is a real beauty. Something I would probably never think to do is to round the corners then use a square frame - I like the combo!

[Vicki B]

All the projects are great but I really like the layout and image on the first one. Including the steps for making them is so nice! TFS

[Cathy C]

Love the stamped and embossed acetate, Carolina -- great look! I really like your pretty blue beach card, too!

[Liz Lumsden]

[Kris in Alaska]
