...playing with plaid!

I have a new favorite stamp set! (I say that every other day, I know, but this is my fav for the moment anyway) The set is called Mad for Plaid and it is just so versatile! Wanna see what I did with it?

I love making patterns and playing with color. It is so simple! Just pick a few ink colors. And stamp away. Easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy! I will tell you that I used removable sticky notes to cover the part of the card that I wanted to leave "un-patterned." And I also chose one color for each stamp in the examples you see above.

If you are interested in getting a Mad For Plaid stamp set be sure to let me know. This set is on sale now BUT time is running out. You have until July 15th! You can order this set and any other a muse goodies HERE. I'm happy to help you place your order and answer any questions that you may have. You can leave a comment or email me at laralovek@gmail.com.

Have an a*musing day playing with plaid!

How easy is it to make a card? SUPER EASY. I am a firm believer that easy cards are often the prettiest. Probably because I am a fan of the clean & simple look. Or maybe because it is the simplicity itself that I find attractive. It could be that I have fallen in love with the letterpress look with it's white space and bold colors. Whatever the reasons are...I love this card if I do say so myself.

A little leafy green, some bright sunny yellow, a deep blue and voila! Prettiness!

I added some pearls, but only a few, to add a little diamension to it. Thought about adding lots of other things and then just told myself to stop.

Knowing when to stop is half of design.

The whole thing took less than 5 minutes! I am going to be playing with this look a LOT more in the days to come.

This is a stamp set everyone should have. It is so easy to use, gives you BEA-U-T-ful results every time and can be used with almost every occasion.
