 The special stamp set we have for you this month is:

"Love Script"

The mini stamp set we have for you this month is

"Big Cupcake"

My first card today is called a Cascading card, and I learned how to make it while doing a Technique Lovers' Challenge on Splitcoaststampers.  I used several of the single hibiscus blooms, one of the multiple blooms, and two single hummingbirds -- one of which has the sentiment included.

Here you can see the side, showing the different layers -- and also you can see the spring on which the hummingbird is mounted so that he can "wobble."  I used Patty's tutorial for this.

My second card is a clean and simple one.  I did stamp the hummingbird twice, cutting it out and popping it up.

Be sure to check out what the rest of the team did with this versatile set.   And remember, the more you comment, the more chances you have to win a free stamp set.   Patty, Lois (that's_me), Vicky, Jane,
