Happy Easter 2014

 Yesterday was a fun play day.  After seeing the design team for a short period of time Friday, I jumped into crafting with both feet.  I used my Brother Scan 'n Cut to fussy cut the letters of the word stacker HAPPY.  It did a great job!.  I also used it to fussy cut around the butterfly.  The only trick with the butterfly is to make sure to put pencil lines to attach the antenna to the body, otherwise they are cut individually.  I also hand wrote the word "Easter" and had the SnC cut it out for me.  That worked too.  How much fun is this new gadget!!!

Oh Happy Day

Here's a fun card I made using two STACKER words (Happy & Today).  I wanted to play on the small sentiment "Oh Happy Day", so I stamped TODAY twice and discarded the T.  I stacked the "O" at the top of Happy and placed DAY at the bottom.  I used the script word "anniversary" as part of the background.  I made a mistake and stamped one of them upside down, so I just made several of them upside down.  Did you notice it before I pointed it out?  Embrace your imperfections and go with the flow.

HAPPY everything

Here's a great word stack for every holiday.  I used the large "HAPPY" word with the script stacker "everything".  I embossed it with gold on a shaped tag from my stash.  I colored the inside of HAPPY with a detail waterbrush filled with dylusions.  And then dug into my paper stash to come up with something to stack it on.  In order to get the tag to really pop, I used my versamark pad around the edge and embossed it with the same gold embossing powder.  I attached the tag with a gold flower brad.  The patterned paper on the gold background was a little boring so I pulled out one of my all time favorite corner punch for a little pizzazz.
