Brand new cutting pads for my Big Shot!! I can’t believe how much simple pleasure I got from opening and using them – like rolling in fresh, virgin snow!! I am so happy!!
Anyhoo, aside from that I also got a Stamp Press! Watching the video tutorials on the Clean and Simple Cardmaking classes (where EVERYONE uses them!!) made me realise I could not live my life any longer without one. However, finding one in the UK was not an easy task. In the end, after trolling through 4 pages of Google I did find one and it arrived today – yay!! No more dropping my acrylic block on top of my card when trying to eyeball where to stamp – can’t wait to with it play!
So, the card I’m sharing today was inspired by the techniques showcased in Day 6 of Clean and Simple Card Making 2. Kristina made a card using a tone-on-tone background which I just LOVED. So I used my Zig Zag background stamp from Hero Arts and the new and very wonderful Leafy Accents dies from Clearly Besotted (available soon!!).
I am So pleased I participated in these classes – I really look forward to every new class. I really recommend it to anyone looking to boost their mojo!!
Right, off to watch Greys Anatomy (up to series 5 now!!)

hello.. chanced upon the happiness picture on ur page… wanted to drop a note to see if i could use it? =)
Beautiful card Caryn! I’m thinking of getting the Martha Stewart version of the stamp press (Ashley Cannon Newell recommends it) but right now I just want more stamps. 🙂
Love your soft background and the leafy accents and rhinestones placement!
