Out of the Box Stamping

     Hello everyone! Sorry for not posting this yesterday, but we lost internet before this post could go up. For the last week I have been cleaning my craft room and there was absolutely no room for any crafting to take place. I finally got my desk cleared enough to play again. I got it cleaned just in time for the Winter storm that hit yesterday with record breaking snow amounts. Now I have a reason to stay in my craft room all day and not go anywhere! With Valentine's Day over the next somewhat, depending where you live, big holiday is St. Patrick's Day. I even have a green t-shirt that I wear every year on March 17th. When I saw the Amazing Life stamp set it had a 4 leaf clover and a "Good Luck" stamp and knew what I wanted to do.

And with Valentine's Day just a few days away I wanted to share with you a fun card I did that anyone would love to receive on that special day or any other special day. Here it is.....      I started with using the embossing paste mixed with a little of the Flirty Flamingo reinker. Did you know you could do that???

I then used the stamp set First Frost that was carried over form the Holiday catalog and matching dies to make a whole bunch of flowers in different colors.      I also used the Meant To Be stamp set and matching dies to stamp and cut some of the hearts as well as the sentiment. I also used the Champagne Foil paper and one...
