My card today feature's a digi stamp from STAMPlorations. Digi's are new to me. I had a bit of a learning curve with them.  If you are venturing down the digi path I suggest this awesome video by my teamie, Ishani. It is super helpful!

I  would love to have you play along this week at the big celebration at Cupcake Inspirations. Who knows you might win one of the fun prizes from our awesome sponsors!!

How much fun is this photo! There is so much to choose from. It was hard to keep to my design team aesthetic- CAS. This photo just screams team shabby chic! (Oh- you lucky shabby chic girls!!!)

My card features stamps from one of our sponsors- Stamplorations. I used these sets- Eclectic florals, Chevron and Arrows and Retro Mod Shapes. This is my first experience with Stamplorations and I was really excited by the stamps! They ink up and stamp well and they have a great price point.

I knew I was stamping the flowers, but I also needed something to anchor the flowers. I remembered the piece of cork I had from my Christmas coasters. The cork provided that anchor and was used in the photo too. How perfect!! 

I really liked the idea of wire basket, so I made a second card and stamped over the whole card with a grid stamp.  It has a cool and unusual look that I kinda like. What do you think?
