When I saw the name of this stamp set, it immediately took me back to being a little girl.  My dad would wake me up by singing "You are My Sunshine" and I remember it fondly.  My project is a simple card using only one small piece of cardstock .  The supplies used are:

Honey ink pad
Sunset ink pad
White Daisy cardstock
My Sunshine stamp set
Artiste cartridge

This card was very easy.  I started with a standard sized card base (4 1/4 x 5 1/2).  I then used the circular subway art stamp to randomly stamp in both honey and sunset inks.  I then used my Artiste cartridge to cut out the coordinating image with the sun stamp.  I first stamped the sun in honey and then brushed the tips with the sunset pad.  I then used the cloud image with honey ink and randomly stamped the center to give it some background.   The final step was to use the Artiste cartridge again to cut out the small center shape that coordinates with the sentiment stamp.  That was done in sunset ink.

The Everything ABC's Blog Hop: Letter U

  Welcome to the Everything ABC's Blog Hop! For this hop we will be featuring the letter U. This may be the name of a paper, a stamp set or an embellishment. Whatever the crafter has chosen as their U element will be featured in their post. When I think of the letter U, I think of Unique!  What could be more Unique than your own name?  A customer requested some cards to use to give out to her friends and customers.  Her first name started with an M so here is what I created for her.  I used many retired products for this card (sorry) but I always let my customers decide what colors and papers to use. If you are ever in need of custom greeting or note cards please let me know and I will do my best for you! Your next stop on our Everything ABC'S blog Hop is Lisa of Lisa's Stamping and Scrapping Spot .  Here is the complete lineup in case you get lost along the way :) 1.
