Double Fold Card

Here's a new card shown closed and then open.  I scored the card at the normal 5 1/2" and then again on the front at 2 3/4".  I tore the bottom flap in half and then added a piece stamped with "Amazing Birthday" using Crushed Curry, Bermuda Bay, Watermelon Wonder, and Cucumber Crush.  The "happy birthday" is from "Watercolor Words" and the background paper is from the Cherry on Top Paper Stack.

Cottage Continued

I made a card with the same layout here and liked it so much I made this one using "Cottage Greetings" again and paper from the English Garden DSP Collection.  The polka dot background at the top was made with the "Dots for Days" background stamp.  Colors used were Melon Mambo and Mossy Meadow.

Made with Love

This new baby set called "Made with Love" coordinates with the Baby's First Framelits that were released in last year's catalog.  This set has 20 different images and words and also coordinates with the Tags & Labels Framelits.  The top background paper is from the Color Collections Paper Stack and the bottom paper is from the Schoolhouse DSP Collection.  The Daffodil Delight square was embossed using the new Elegant Dots Embossing Folder.

Over the Rainbow

This encouraging card is from the set "Over the Rainbow" from the new catalog.  The top one was stamped on vellum and the rainbow colors were stamped on Whisper White card stock underneath it.  The bottom one was stamped directly on Whisper White card stock.  I used the Elegant Dots Embossing Folder on the top one and the Boho Chic Embossing folder on the bottom one.  On both of them I tied a Bermuda Bay Thick Baker's Twine bow.  Which one do you like better?

Brushstrokes

I love this new background stamp called "Brushstrokes". You can stamp it in a single color or use a combination of markers like I did.  I colored it in Pink Pirouette and Mint Macaron.  The words are from "Friendly Wishes" and I cut them out with a Circle Framelit.  Last, I added a 1" Dotted Lace Trim Ribbon.

Gift from the Garden

This cute card was made by Ellen and she used the new set "Gift from the Garden".  In addition to these images it also has flowerpots, gloves, plants, a shovel, and more words.  She used Mint Macaron and Early Espresso and the new Triple Banner Punch.  The background paper is from the In Colors Collection Stack.

Watercolor Words

This cute "happy birthday" font is from the set "Watercolor Words" and contains 11 different words and images.  I stamped it in Whisper White on Cucumber Crush card stock and added a 3/8" Satin Stitched Ribbon.  I made the trim on the bottom with a thinlits from the Mini Treat Bag set. The background paper is from the Cherry on Top Paper Stack.

Cottage Greetings

I made the bottom of this card using paper from the Pretty Petals Paper stack.  The top half was made using Versamark ink on Calypso Coral card stock and the "Dots for Days" background stamp.  The words and flowers are from "Cottage Greetings" and I added some new Basic Black 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon.

Watercolor Wings

This new stamp set "Watercolor Wings"  has 15 different stamps including six butterflies to give it a layered or shaded look.  I stamped this in Mint Macaron and Gold ink and cut it out with the Bold Butterflies Framelits.  I put a Metallic Foil Doily under the butterfly and cut one on top with the framelits using Gold Foil card stock.  I made the background with Very Vanilla card stock using the Fluttering Embossing Folder.  Last, I stamped the words and punched them out with the new Washi Label Punch. 

You're So Sweet

I love this new black and white designer paper from the Everyday Chic collection.  The Daffodil Delight paper (stripes & flowers) is from the Brights Color Collections Stack.  I stamped the stars with the "You're So Sweet" set and cut out the middle star with a thinlit from the Mini Treat Bag set.  I made the banner in the middle with the new Banner Triple Punch.  You can make three different widths of banners with the punch and any length you desire. Anyway, I just couldn't decide which one I like better, so I'm posting them both.

More Sprinkles of Life

I stamped the scoops with Pink Pirouette, Pool Party, and Watermelon Wonder from the stamp set "Sprinkles of Life".  This is the Ronald McDonald House set for the new catalog and for every set sold $3 is donated to that charity.  This set has 22 pieces and a coordinating punch to make ice cream cones, cupdakes, trees, words, and more.  I stamped the words on vellum from the "Friendly Wishes" set (also from the new catalog).  The background paper is from the "Cherry on Top" DSP Stack and I mounted it on Pool Party and then on Pink Pirouette.

new catalog starts today!

This new set called "You've Got This" has this great cross-hatch type thingy for a background stamp!  I used it both on the card base and on the card background.  I stamped it in Pool Party and the flower and the card background in Tip top Taupe.  I mounted it on Watermelon Wonder card stock and then again on Pool Party card stock.  Last, I tied a 1" Watermelon Wonder Dotted Lace Trim Ribbon around it.  The new 2015-16 catalog starts today!  Yippee!  Contact me to place an order!
