Biggest Wish

I saw this card idea and immediately fell in love with it!  I used the new "Biggest Wish" set and my Stampartus to line up the two words.  I cut the bottom of the striped paper (from Pattern Party) with the Scalloped Contours Dies.  The texture on the card was made with the Dots & Checks Embossing Folders and I tied a bow from the Flowers for Every Season ribbon package.  Last, I added some Artistry Blooms Sequins on to finish it off.

Color & Contour

"Color and Contour" is a set that has flowers and words, but best of all it has these great coordinating scalloped dies frames that come in many different sizes.  Also, the flower die exactly matches the flower stamps--so cool.  I stamped this in the new color Polished Pink and the black and white checked paper is from the Pattern Party DSP collection.

All Squared Away

This is one of my very favorite sets from the new catalog!  It's called "All Squared Away" and has these cute little squares with different patterns plus sentiments.  Best of all there are coordinating dies, plus not pictured here are the little flowers that you can cut out separately and layer on the flower dies.  (I'll have another card down the road showing the little flowers on top of the squares.)  I also used a brand new embossing folder that comes in a pair called Dots & Checks.

Quiet Meadow

I made this card by swiping ink pads across my Stamparatus to make the background colors.  Once I had the colors on the plate, I spritzed rubbing alcohol on it which diffused the colors a bit.  Then I took Shimmery White card stock and swiped that across the colors.  I stamped the background words from "Quiet Meadow" and cut the flowers out (same method used) from the coordinating Meadow Dies.  I used all new In Colors:  Polished Pink, Pale Papaya, Fresh Freesia, and Soft Succulent.
