Hello My Blog Friends,

Mark's Finest Paper Blog Hop Day 4 Please Click HERE

I'm so excited to share another card with you all today. I made this one for my dear sweet hubby. A just because card to share how much I love him. I used stamps by Unity Stamp Company. And the sentiment is so perfect to express how I feel. Also this week Unity is back to their with their Friends with Flair Challenge. I wanted to join this week and so I created this card base on a case study over at CASE Study challenge #141. We are studying Maile Belles. She created a card with beautiful hearts. I was inspired to create a card using hearts and two colors.

Welcome to our final day. I'm super excited about this stamp set. You can use it with so many different creations. I just love this one and excited to share what I created with this one. 

For my first card I created based on a sketch by CAS(E) this Sketch. I truly enjoyed this using this stamp set and  a sketch.  I stamped the popcorn several times on card stock and cute them out to add as the dots on the sketch. Plus I love that the pop corn is spread all over. I also popped up some of the pop corn that are in the bucket. This would be perfect for a birthday, Thank You, or Join me card.  It also good with a gift card to the movies. I know lots of fun ideas can come from this stamp set. You just have to use your imagination.

For my next cards I enjoyed stamping the film strips in different colors. After I don't know the sex of the baby yet to do one color. LOL and it was fun cutting them in the different colors.

Now my last creation using this fun stamp set. I posted this layout yesterday for Mark's Finest Paper Scrapbook challenge we host each Thursday of the week. This week challenge is Anything Goes  We would love to see your layout using MFP stamps. This is an easy enter for you all this week and we would love for you all to join use by creating a layout. 

This layout I created is about my Nephew birth. I don't have any little boys beside my fur baby Brownie so am super excited to create something beyond my girls. I truly enjoyed this stamp set.

I would have to say this one is by far my favorite of the two. I found this sketch over at  CAS(E) this Sketch. Its was so fun to play with and I love the end results I got with this sketch. I used my Spellbinders die to get this banner of yellow over each image and square.  As you can see I had fun playing with these die and inks. To create such a pretty card.
