Sneak Peek

Here is a sneak peek of a stamp set in the new 2011-2012 Catalog that goes live on July 1st. This set is called Cherish Friendship and it comes with two other cute stamps. I love cherries at this time of year so I was drawn to this set. I colored it in using my Watercolor pencils and blender pen. My sentiment is from a current set called Fabulous Phrases. I’ve had Fabulous Phrases for a while but just started using it recently. There are 30 different words that can be used. I think it is becoming a favorite of mine! Thank you for stopping by! I appreciate it!

Friends

For my card today I used the new Postage Stamp punch in the Summer Mini on page 10 and the Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer punch on page 6. The colors in my card were inspired by a Vera Bradley bag that I have. I love purple, blue and green together. The new Blossom Bouquet punch is very versatile and can be used in so many different ways! Thanks so much for stopping by.

Flower Fest

I am finally on vacation and have time to post cards that I’ve done over the past month! I made this card for my Hostess Club meeting on Thursday. I used the stamp set Flower Fest from the current mini catalog. I stamped the flowers with Versamark and then used white embossing powder. Using my sponge dauber I added Regal Rose to the center. I am really happy with the way it turned out! I’m looking forward to making the card with different colors and the other flowers that come in the set. Another reason to love this set is that many of the shapes have a coordinating punch! It makes the card very easy to put together. Thank you for stopping by! If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.

Vintage Vogue

This card uses a set that I haven’t used in some time called Vintage Vogue. I used it for the flowers as well as the background on the Whisper White. I tried to post an Easter card a week ago and every time I tried to publish it, the program wouldn’t work. Very frustrating. So, I am going to check and see if this works!
Thanks for stopping by!

Patchwork Thank You

Today I have another 5 1/4 x 5 1/4 card that again is a patchwork design. This time I ran all of my Greenhouse Gala DSP, Concord Crush DSP, and Pear Pizzazz cardstock pieces through an embossing folder in my Big Shot. It is a pretty easy card to make. I also used 1/2 inch Stitched Poly Ribbon in Concord Crush. My sentiment was made using the Scallop Oval punch but the outside scallop was made using the Movers and Shapers Punch window. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me. Thanks for stopping by!
