Because I said SO!

If you have children, you probably say it more often than you think. :)

Today's card is a just because card, because really...you shouldn't need a REASON to send a card, right? You're a stamper, just send it!

I started off with a square (5x5) Blackberry Bliss base and added a layer of Park Lane Designer Series Paper. I just love that paper! It's big and bold but not totally in your face. Does that even make sense?

Next piece up is Whisper White stamped with Gorgeous Grunge in Hello Honey Ink. I love that stamp set! You can use if for ANYTHING!

I then added layers of Moonlight DSP and Blackberry Bliss Cardstock. The sentiment was stamped using Blackberry Bliss Ink with the aid of my Stamp-a-majig to get it in JUST the right place.

I added flowers using matching cardstock/DSP and the punch from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack.

The flowers were added to the inside too (along with some sponging and doodling):

Catalogue CASE x 2 - One for me and one for YOU!

So, what did you think?

Did you like last week's feature? I sure hope so, because I had fun reading the comments and seeing what you thought!

This week's card is on page 108 of the 2014-2015 Catalogue and you can see mine here:

I started off with a Baked Brown Sugar Base and added pieces of Cardstock and Designer Series Paper from the Lullaby Paper Pack. I didn't have the paper in the catalogue sample, so I used what I had. You can do that too. It doesn't have to be EXACTLY the same to be awesome. :)

I stamped the sentiment from A Dozen Thoughts onto Whisper White Cardstock using Baked Brown Sugar Ink. I notched one end and attached a clip from Essentials Hardware Clips tied with Whisper White Bakers Twine to the other end. Because of the way I added adhesive to the top DSP strip, the clip is actually functional (though I did attach the other end of the sentiments with a Stampin' Dimensional).

Now, since the title of this post is "one for me and one for you", you OBVIOUSLY need to know how to get your hands on one of these cards!

• Step 1: Go to my Facebook page (www.facebook.com/handstampedfromtheheart)
• Step 2: If you haven't already, like the page
• Step 3: Leave a comment on the card post telling me what you think and that you'd like to receive the card
• Step 4: SHARE the post on your wall

Easy peasy, right? You have ONE WEEK. I'll do a random draw of everyone that followed all the steps and then contact the winner and put the card in the mail.
