    I´ve already seen them on SS´s blog and they´re jsut awesome Kathy. I just love the bright colors and thanks a lot for your great tip there too. I think, I´m going to make myself a little book with all these great tips, we get now and then, so we know, where to find them, when we need them.

    I just came from the SSS blog, and your cards are outstanding! I never think to mix stamps like that, and you can be sure I’ll be looking to see what I can combine today. Great tip for covering a smudge too.

I’m one who gets frustrated when I make a mistake on a project and these tips will help me to “repair” them so I won’t have to ditch the whole project & start over. Love your blog/site. I’m excited about reading more & seeing what all you offer. Thanks and keep up the great work!!! Of course…like everyone else, I’d LOVE to be your “giveaway” winner.

    Can’t wait to hear more about Spain! Those cards are amazing! I love the way you covered up the smudge and made the coverup part of the design.

  30. Dana D. says

    My goodness Kathy, just saw your 3 cards on SSS blog and they are amazing. Such wonderful colors and the details are terrific. Liked your tip on how to cover up a smudge.

  33. Robin Cooper says

    Loved your cards. When I look at that stamp set I think, “it’s really nice, but what do I do with it?” Well, you showed me. Thank you for the great inspiration!!

  35. Small T says

    I’ve left you a comment over on the SSS blog! Your cards are fabulous! I love the bright colors you used on these cards! Thank you so much for the chance to win! 🙂 xx

    I visited SSS and left a comment. Good luck with the laundry–worst part of vacation! And Happy 18th to your daughter!

  39. JC says

    Saw your card on the SSS blog. They are stunning! The colors are so vibrant and thanks for the tip.

  44. Rachel says

    I love how you always add something to your stamped images that just make them so special. I think I need to make a sign or something so I remember to try it out as well. It just adds so much. Thanks for the chance to win. I happened upon the SSS blog first today and was happy to see your ‘trick’. So clever. I usually go the ‘add embellishment route’.

  45. Cheryl W says

    I visited the SSS blog and LOVED your cards. Adding all those white dots was genius! Now if I can only remember to do that on some of my own cards. LOL

  47. Cathy says

    Gorgeous cards on the SSS blog, love the colours. Brilliant way to cover up a smudge too, I sometimes try and use bling or another element and it doesn’t always work! Cathy x

  50. lynda says

    I left a comment on the SSS blog. I thought the white dots must be part of the stamp until I read that you added them yourself. So creative!

  54. Katie says

    It was great to see you on the Simon Says Stamp blog today! I love how you used that stamp set. Such wonderful bright colors! Great cards Kathy! Thanks for sharing.

    Just beautiful! I left a comment over at SS. Thanks for the smudge tip too! Hate working so hard to smudge it and not use a panetl. Your solution was great! Enjoy our DD b-day!

  65. Tammy J says

  73. Laura says

    Well welcome home! I’m just back from Cuba and hear ya on the laundry piles. You always make such beautiful cards. What do you make those dots with? I thought they were stamped as there all so uniformly done. Please tell! SSS says hello 😉 Laura

  76. Andrene says

    Love all the color and the designs of your three cards…beautiful! Card making boo boos are a challenge. At least on a layout you can plop a flower or chipboard element over it! I left a comment on your SSS post and asked just how did you leave all those little pieces inside the chain link die cut??? Very clever idea and it looks great!

  83. Angie says

    I went over and commented on SSS blog! Terrific cards!!!! I always love your beautiful white dots you place on a lot of your art. Genius way to cover up a smudge!!! I will be borrowing that in future!!! Welcome home from your trip!!!! I feel your pain with the laundry. We have gone on 2 trips in 3 weeks. I am still buried in laundry and my DD celebrated her 13th bday on the 13th while we were in MN visiting relatives. Wishing your DD a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
