Flirty Flamingo

This cute little flamingo and hello are from "Pop of  Paradise" in the new catalog.  He is stamped in Flirty Flamingo (of course) on Whisper White card stock made with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch.  I put a piece of new Flirty Flaming Ruched Ribbon through the hole at the top.  Last, the background was made with Peekaboo Peach card stock using the Lovely Lace Embossing Folder.  The new catalog starts tomorrow!

Love & Affection

Here's a brand new embossing folder called Floral Affection.  I embossed it using Daffodil Delight card stock and then mounted it on some brand new Affectionately Yours DSP.  The words are from "Love & Affection" and I cut them out with the Tripe Banner Punch.

Sneak Peek!

This darling set called "Swirly Bird" is from the new catalog that starts on June 1.  I stamped the flowers in Peekaboo Peach, Flirty Flamingo (both new In Colors), and Pear Pizzazz.  I cut the swirls out with the coordinating Swirly Scribbles Thinlits and added a Flirty Flamingo Ruched Ribbon bow. 

Age Awareness

This was a fast and easy card to make using the big "happy birthday" from the "Age Awareness" set.  The background paper is from the Everyday Chic DSP  on the top two and It's My Party DSP on the bottom two. I made the balloons with the  Balloon Bouquet Punch and added some Black Baker's Twine.  And....that's a wrap from the retiring catalog.  Check back soon for cards from the new catalog!

Bloom for You

This single flower stamp has a coordinating Fun Flower Punch which is also retiring.  I stamped it in Calypso Coral twice and punched it out.  I layered it on some Daffodil Delight swooshes made with "Work of Art".  I made the background splatters with "Gorgeous Grunge" and the words were stamped in Pear Pizzazz from "A Dozen Thoughts".

Tap Tap Tap

This is one of my favorite sets that is retiring. It has this cute little typewriter and several words to choose from.  There's also a notebook paper stamp, a note banner, and all of the tiny alphabet keys.  It coordinates with this Typeset DSP too.  I added some Daffodil Delight Seam Binding and a little flower I punched with the Blossom Bunch Punch. 

Four Cakes

Another of my favorite sets that's retiring is "Amazing Birthday".  The four cakes were stamped in Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight, Bermuda Bay, and Night of Navy and punched out with the 1 1/4" Circle Punch.  The words are from "Age Awareness" which is also retiring.  I stamped the Melon Mambo splatters around the words with "Gorgeous Grunge".  The background paper is from the Color Collections DSP Stack. 

Thank You

First, I stamped the "Watercolor Thank You" in Versamark and then I heat embossed it using White Embossing Powder.  I used the Aqua Painters, Watercolor Paper, and Pacific Point, Cucumber Crush, and Melon Mambo Ink over the top of the words.  I mounted it on Cucumber Crush card stock and then again on Whisper White.  Last, I made a little heart from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack from another piece of Watercolor Paper that I had brushed in Melon Mambo. 

Brushstrokes

I stamped the background of this card with "Brushstrokes" in Daffodil Delight (top) and Melon Mambo (bottom) and mounted it on some Everyday Chic DSP.  The words from "Sassy Salutations" which is retiring.  I punched out the butterflies using the Butterflies Thinlits and added some Candy Dots.

Stylish Stripes

This embossing folder, Stylish Stripes, is about to retire.  I made the background with Pool Party card stock layered on So Saffron.  The pink striped strip is from the Birthday Bouquet DSP collection.  I added some flowers I cut from the Botanical Builder Framelits.  The words are from "Sheltering Tree" and were cut with the Banner Punch.   Last, I added some Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

What's in the Window?

Here's a cute little card I made using the Hearth and Home Thinlits.  I punched out the window in Whisper White and the flower box with Corrugated Paper.  I made the card base with So Saffron card stock and the Brick Wall Embossing Folder.  I cut a Tea Lace Doily apart to make the curtains in the window and put a piece of Basic Black card stock behind them.  The flowers were made with the Itty Bitty Accents Punch (Real Red) and the leaves with the Bird Builder Punch (Garden Green).  Last, I added some Real Red Candy Dots.

Gold!

I made this card using a Gold Foil Sheet and the Softly Falling Embossing Folder.  I made the flowers with the Fancy Foil Designer Vellum and the Pansy Punch.  Then, I layered it on a strip of  some Corrugated Paper and cut the letters out of Basic Black card stock with the Little Letters Thinlits.  Last, I added some Gold Sequin Trim. 

All About Everything

These are just a couple of stamps from the extra "All About Everything" set that was in April's Paper Pumpkin kit.  I stamped the flower in Daffodil Delight and the background in Pool Party.  I made the flowerpot using Crumb Cake and a striped embossing folder with part of a doily.  I mounted it on Calypso Coral and added a matching button tied with Linen Thread.
