When It Rains, It Poors

This has got to stop! I'm broke! Stamps, Copic markers, paper, ink... and now *DIGI STAMPS!!! All of this is a must to prepare for when my Copics arrive, but I've GOT to slow down! Isn't it worth it though... check out that pic!!!

Earlier today I mentioned that I would be posting more inspiration that I discovered at Summerthyme Studio... well, here it is! The images in the pic are digi stamps that I purchased from The Greeting Farm. I knew OF digi stamps, but (just like Copics) I didn't see the big draw for digital stamping. OH... do I know better now. Digi stamps are the PERFECT PALETTE for coloring! Not only can you tailor the size of the image (which I'm still trying to perfect), but you can print multiples which is an awesome convenience for anyone who makes multiple cards. <---- insert guilt trip here for anyone who does not make multiple cards to send to Cards For Soldiers! hahahaha! And the BEST discovery that I've found is that my laser printer's toner sets and DOESN'T MOVE or bleed. The images pictured were colored with Stampin Up markers and not only was the "stamped" image solid and uniform, but it was super simple to color over without worry that it would smear. Now, I haven't tried it with Copics YET (PULEEZE come next week... didn't I already say that in the last post?), but I'm almost positive that if water-based, dye ink won't smear it, neither will quickly evaporating alcohol-based ink. But we will see. For now, I'm LOVING the .2 seconds it takes to get a beautiful and solid image to color and shade.

*"Digi" is short for digital; they are digital images that you download on your computer and print out on your printer. Because I printed my digi stamps onto cardstock, I had to use the "bypass" tray on my laser printer otherwise the thick cardstock would have jammed my printer. Be sure to check that your printer can handle thick cardstock before printing your digi stamps onto it.

Gorgous Leaves Bundle Revisited

Yestday's Freebie Friday on a Monday projects were so fun and this set is SO BEAUTIFUL in it's simplicity!  It reminds me of a long-retired stamp set from Stampin Up!.  I was inspired to re-create the projects that I made with it once upon a time.  So here we go.... SIMPLE projects when you need a quick "hello" or an even quicker heartfelt sympathy card: I was DEFINITELY on a Bumblebee and Cajun Craze kick yesterday!  I can't stop/won't stop!  LOL!  To be fair... I had extra leaves die cut and didn't want anything to go to waste!  A quick speckle backdrop in Bumblebee then a quick "hello" greeting from the Biggest Wish in Cajun Craze with the Cajun Craze leaf popped up on a Basic White cardbase.  PERFECTION! Okay, as with yesterday's projects, the sentiment is from the recently retired SAB Delicate Dahlia's set, but you could use ANY sympathy sentiment you have in your stash.  Unlike in the past when I had to mask off the center rectangle...
