Clear Dollar Stamps Sneak Peek - Day 1

Hiya all! Its that time... Clear Dollar Stamps Sneak Peeks are starting today and there are lots of new and fun stamps for you to choose from come April 1st... no fooling. If you would like to see the full reveals of the stamps being shared today, then head on over to Lori's blog - Clearly iStamp where you can see even more samples too.

I'll be sharing several things with you today, so let's get started. My first card is from a little set called Doodlebug and is a cute, artsy little stamp to play with. I used some old (not sure how old) Basic Grey paper that I had. I am trying my darndest to use up some of the tons of paper I have. Are you a doodlebug?

My next two cards are from the set called Blooming with Blessings and I must admit that I love and will continue to love this set. The two cards are so different but I like them equally.

This first one I kept softer and simple... I love blues... I used one of the butterfly images and stamped it in a darker blue ink and then cut it out and attached it to the card front with a pop dot/dimensional. The swirls were created by using a white pigment ink and white embossing powder and are from a set called Damask Designer.
