Goody-Goody Gumdrops

Okay, everyone knows how much I love sugar, right? Well, when I saw the title of this stamp set, I knew I had to have it! They all don't have something to do with sugar, but I think this stamp set sure is yummy!!! The more I use this stamp set, the more I love it! It is a Level 3 hostess set.

This first card is the most sugar-laden card of all! The sundae looks just delish and is jazzed up with a little Dazzling Diamonds Glitter and Red Chunky Essentials Glitter. The (retired) Summer Picnic Designer Paper goes so well with the cherries! Doesn't it make you want to have a sundae??

The next card is a cute little non-gender baby card. The little duckies are just adorable, and when they are all lined up in a row like that, they are even cuter! How did I get them lined up, you ask? Well, my new favorite tool in the whole world - the Stamp-a-ma-jig. It allows you to line up your image just where you want it! No more crooked images or sentiments! It is a MUST have - trust me! The beaks have a little Crystal Effects to make them shiny!

The next one is a great little wedding card - I just love to use the Baja Breeze in a wedding card - so fresh! And how could I resist not using the Dazzling Diamonds Glitter on the bells?

Alright, the last card. It was the first one I made, and wasn't sure that I was crazy about the owl, but now that the card is done, I think he is SUPER cute! Especially with his big glassy eyes that I touched up with Crystal Effects!

PHEW! That is it for tonight! Can you tell I was home alone last night while Duane worked up at the house?! I also have a little secret to tell you - I love the Stamp-a-ma-jig so much that I used it on all the cards so everything was all lined up straight! I am happy to show you how to use it!
