Hello! Winter weather has returned ... yuk! I am so ready for Spring! So, in anticipation of the upcoming weather, I spent Tuesday out in my shack. I spent most of my time on one card. Yes, I am a slow stamper, but as they say, it is, what it is! Remember this post that I did on using the Inky Antics new honey pop collection? Well, I a made a card with the other set I purchased. This one is called Birthday Elephant. One of the stamps in the set says "wishing you tons of fun". I decided to change the sentiment to say love instead of fun to go with this week's "love" theme! The pop up design incuded in the set is a balloon. But, I figured it wouldn't be that hard to change the circle and make it into a heart, so that is what I did. It came out pretty good. You can check it out and see what you think! Before I get to my card, I want to share one more thing. This week on the Inky Antics blog, Jackie talked about their new Honey Pop collection and she linked her blog post to my blog!! How cool is that? She also has a video how-to tutorial. You can go here to see her blog post. My friend, Eileen, made a card using this same elephant set, so I will be showing her card pics too, later in this post. I got ideas for my card from her card. Thanks Eileen for letting me "case" you! Here is my card pics ... enjoy!
