The July VC_Rocks BLOG HOP is here - I am stop #16 .. and I am excited to be a part of the fun this month. If you started at the beginning of the blog hop, you came here from Alexandria Snider's Ready Craft Create blog at
readycraftcreate.blogspot.com - if you are just joining the blog hop, you can start at the beginning:

My card for today is an easy one - really. I have been asked to make and post some easier-to-make cards so here goes. The colors I used are Wild Wasabi and Whisper White - I am happy to see Wild Wasabi back in our catalog, but this time, instead of being an in-color (in 2007-08), it is a "regular" color now. I used these stamp sets: Pocket Silhouettes and Sincere Salutations for the saying, both stamped with Versamark and embossed with white embossing powder. Other accessories I used included: Scallop Circle Punch and a circle punch, a clear button backed by a 1" circle punched out of Whisper White .... and I used white embroidery floss for an accent. Hope you enjoy it - I received one similar from a friend and I liked it so much that I CASE'd it ... now if you decide to CASE this one yourself, I'd really like to see it. I have had this stamp set since it first came out, and don't think I have ever used it before ... now I have another sample card for you - today was a fun stampin' day!
This card uses the same stamp sets and the Wild Wasabi and Whisper White with Chocolate Chip for contrast. I double stamped (ink your stamp, stamp once, then stamp again without reinking) - Oval punches and our Pinking Hearts Border Punch and Chocolate Chip 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon. Which one do you like best?
Your next blog stop is Diana Clark at

Have fun, take care, get creative and God Bless

Very Nice...Green is my fav color...
greatjob Shirley... hope you'll come back for Hop 4 to earn your Blog Hopper Badge! Hugs, Loni
You make it hard for me to decide which one I like best they both are gorgeous cars, but I think I like the second one. Just the simplicity of it I guess. Thanks for sharing.
I'm happy that Wild Wasabi is back, too. Love both of your cards. TFS.
On the first card I loved the embossing and the second one is pure genius! TFS
They're both so nice Shirley and I love Wild Wasabi!
How to decide. I love the embossing on the first card, but the second card kept drawing me back to it, so I'll have to go with the second one. Like Noelle said, pure genious.
You've worked majic with that silohette stamp. Love the wasabit paired with the brown.
I love both, glad I don't have to pick . Thanks for sharing
Great cards! These are two of my fav "go to" sets, so I will be CASEing these. :)
I just love this set, thanks for sharing!

I'll vote - I like the second one the best.
And the double stamping - why can't I remember to do that more often - it looks fab!
Love how you did these!
I really like these cards--great colors and design. I see a case happening here.
They are both fantastic, no way to decide which one is best! Wild Wasabi is an older color that has been brought back I'm a new demo so I never had the chance to use it before. I am sold, it looks like a really great color to have around.
Am in love with that green cardstock! Such gorgeous cards and thanks so much for the inspiration!!
