Little Bit of Magic

Amy's done it again!  And she's once again allowed me to be a guest gal and showcase her new rubber stamp sets.  Her new Sweet November set, a Little Bit of Magic, is the cutest, most adorable to date!  There are nine, (yes nine!), precious little fairies along with a tiny flower, and the coordinating set has 11 sentiments.  How could you not fall in love with this set?!  It is amazing, magical, joyful, cheerful, playful, whimsical, cute, etc, etc, etc!   The moment I saw the stamps I had a vision for the card to create.  I've been wanting to make a tri-fold shutter card for ages, but hadn't found the right inspiration.  These little ladies were the perfect choice!  And they were such fun to color, cut, and craft into a card.  ;-)  In addition to fussy cutting the fairies, I fussy cut some butterflies from the coordinating paper.  Then I glittered the butterfly wings and glued just the bodies to the card.  To mirror the set sentiment "Capture the Magic", I used my computer to print out the "Have a Fairy Happy Birthday!" and inked the edges of both sentiments.  As for the quality of the photos...sorry folks...who knew taking a picture of a tri-fold card could be such a difficult task.  A big thank you to Pam Sparks, a contributor and design team member at ATS, who gave me some helpful tips for next time.  You can check out Pam's work (which is wonderfully creative) at her blog Expressions With Heart and at ATS.





Please do not forget to go to Amy's blog, A Thousand Sheets of Paper, and Nancy's blog, Creative Palette,  to check out their cards, and leave a comment for a chance to win some blog candy!  Also, check out the design team's cards at the All That Scraps blog.  The stamps will be available for purchase at ATS on Saturday, July 14th!

Your coloring is fabulous on each and every one of those little fairies... perfect matches back to that fantastic Doodlebug paper!
