You're So Sweet

This simple card is from the "You're So Sweet" set.  I stamped the words once in Melon Mambo and once in Wild Wasabi.  Then, I cut the inner one out with the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits and the outer one with a scissors.  I used some DSP from the English Garden collection and added a Wild Wasabi Seam Binding Ribbon.

Happy Happy Happy Happy

This is truly one of my all time favorites!  I saw something similar to this on a foreign blog and knew I needed to make it ASAP.  It really was easier than I thought and came together so cute!  I stamped this with "Amazing Birthday" and cut it out with the Banner Framelits.  I stamped the "happy" different colors (Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight, Bermuda Bay, and Basic Black) , cut them out, and adhered them on top of the original color I stamped.  I added some Whisper White Baker's twine and looped it around in the back of the top banner.  Last, I added some Basic Black Candy Dots.

Manly

I'm often asked for ideas for a "manly" card, so I whipped up this easy-peasy one.  I used the set "Big News" and the DSP Stack called Go Wild.  This "stack" has 48 sheets of double-sided designs (6" x 6") in Basic Black, Tip Top Taupe, and Whisper White.

More Garden in Bloom

Here are more cards using "Garden in Bloom".  I stamped the outlines all the same in Black Staz-On and then stamped each card with different background colors using the splatters from "Gorgeous Grunge".  The first one is Mint Macaron and Wisteria Wonder. 

This one is Real Red and Daffodil Delight ...

 ... some Bermuda Bay and Melon Mambo ...

... and finally Cucumber Crush and Melon Mambo.  

Heartfelt Sympathy

Here's a pretty card using the new set "Heartfelt Sympathy".  I stamped the words in Sahara Sand and the spots from "Gorgeous Grunge" were stamped in Pink Pirouette.  I added two butterflies (one made of vellum) that I cut with the Butterflies Thinlits Die.  I used the Brick Wall Embossing Folder with Pink Pirouette card stock and added some Sahara Sand Lace Trim to finish it off.

Garden in Bloom

This new set called "Garden in Bloom" has 20 different stamps and is SO versatile.  I stamped this in Black Staz-on by putting both the flower and the stem on one block.  Then, I stamped the flowers in Melon Mambo on the top card and Daffodil Delight on the bottom one.  The words are from "Cottage Greetings".

Sprinkles

I made this easy birthday card using the "Sprinkles of Life" set which is this year's Ronald McDonald featured stamp set.  For every set that is purchased, $3 goes to support the Ronald McDonald House Charities.  The set has 22 pieces and you can also order the coordinating Tree Builder Punch to punch out the tree trunk, tree tops, cupcakes, bird, apple, flower, and raindrops.  I used paper from the Cherry on Top Stack and the Banner Triple Punch for the banners.  I stamped the cupcake in Watermelon Wonder, punched it out, and added a Cucumber Crush Lace Ribbon.

Pink & Taupe

I just love these two colors together:  Pink Pirouette and Tip Top Taupe.  I stamped the images and words from the "Gift from the Garden" set.  I used a piece of Pink Pirouette DSP from the Subtles Color Collections.  I scored it, folded it back, pierced it, and used a Brad Base and Candy Dot to hold it together. 

Fast & Easy

This cheery birthday card is so easy to make!  I used the "Watercolor Wash" background stamp and the words and hearts are from "Watercolor Words".  I used Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo, and Bermuda Bay.  I added some coordinating Candy Dots to finish it off. 

Blue Butterfly

Here's a another butterfly card using "Watercolor Wings".   This set includes images to make a three-step butterfly so it looks like it has been shaded and has depth.  I used Soft Sky, Marina Mist, and Island Indigo.  The background was made with the Fluttering Embossing Folder and the Whisper White strip with the Banner Triple Punch.  I added a Gold Foil Doily and a small gold foil butterfly cut with the Bold Butterfly Framelits.

Happy 4th!

This card was made with the "Watercolor Words" set and the "Watercolor Wash" background stamp.   I outlined the stars with 2-way glue and added some Dazzling Diamonds Glitter.  Happy Independence Day!
