This little adorable teddy bear stamp is the first stamp I ever bought–the first stamp that started my card making / paper crafting journey. 19 years later I still love creating cards!
The stamp is from a company called Personal Stamp Exchange–nope it’s not Stampin’ Up!
May’s Stamp Club we made this Have a Beautiful Birthday Card. The technique is Versamark Resist.
Stamp onto card stock with Versamark. Should dry pretty quickly. If you are using glossy or coated paper, you will need to heat emboss. Ink up your brayer and roll over cardstock. The Versamarked images will “resist” the ink and show through on your card.

I love being a demonstrator with Stampin’ Up! Every other month, demonstrators receive Stampin’ Success in the mail–it’s one of the demonstrator perks!!!
Many of our stamp club projects come directly from the demonstrator magazine.
Like this one for July’s Saturday Morning Stamp Club…
Here’s the actual card we made…
For the banners, you need 3 strip of cardstock.
1. Whisper White 3-3/4 x 2
2. Hello Honey 4-1/2 x 1
3. Neutrals Color Collection DSP in Crumb Cake 5 x 1-1/2
Using the Banner Triple Punch you will cut out a notch on the end of each strip from the steps above. The Banner Triple Punch does all three sizes!!!!

Why Shimmer in the Sunlight ?
Because I like things that are bright and shiny – whether it’s for a card, scrapbook page, craft project or jewelry to accentuate an outfit!
Because someone told me to “keep shining!” A little phrase that has had a big impact on my life — I think of it often!!
“Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and
praise your Father in heaven.” (Matthew 5:16)
Because I try to be positive and look on the bright side even when it’s raining!
“A cheerful heart is good medicine.” (Proverbs 17:22)
Because when I see, or think of Sunlight, I think of Jesus. Jesus, who is the Lord and Savior of my Life.
“The Lord is my light and my salvation — whom shall I fear?” (Psalm 27:1)
Because I like things that are bright and shiny — oh, I already mentioned that!!!
Keep shining, Maria
