Priority Mail

This hostess set called "Priority Mail" coordinates with several different punches. I made this card with Early Espresso, Summer Starfruit, and Raspberry Ripple.  The background was made with the Houndstooth Embossing Folder and the papers are from Designer Series Paper Stack.  I used the Postage Stamp and Curly Label Punches.  Last, I added some 1/4" Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon and a cute little button from the Brights Collection.  Happy Birthday Sarah, I hope this card reaches you before you see this post. 

Noel Notes

I used the Simply Sent kit "Noel Notes" to make this card.  It comes with 8 die-cut cards in Cherry Cobbler, 8 die-cut Very Vanilla scalloped liners, 8 striped envelope liners, 8 Very Vanilla envelopes,  and 8 pieces of Gumball Green ribbon.  Everything fits together perfectly and I added the stamp "Traditional Touches" in Gumball Green.  This is a great kit for making easy, fast Christmas cards!

Elegant Butterflies

Introducing . . . the new Elegant Butterfly Punch!  I punched these butterflies in Gumball Green, Night of Navy, and Melon Mambo.  I stamped three different images from "Border Banter" on the new 7/8" Cotton Ribbon in the same three colors.  Then I popped up the butterflies with Dimensionals and added coordinating buttons with some Linen Thread.  The background was made with the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder using Crumb Cake card stock.

Googly Ghouls

I just had to buy this set called "Googly Ghouls".  I think the self-adhesive googly eyes give the card a cutesy, 3D touch.  I made the outside of the card using the Spider Web Embossing Folder in Basic Black and then mounted it on Tangerine Tango.  I punched a window with the 1 1/4" Circle Punch.  On the inside I stamped words from "Border Banter", added paper from the Howlstooth & Scaringbone DSP Collection, and "Booo" from "Googly Ghouls".

Merry Minis

They're tiny--but they're cute!  I stamped these shapes in Daffodil Delight, Real Red, and Gumball Green with the set "Merry Minis".  There's also a coordinating punch set called "Merry Minis" which contains the star, ornament, and tree.  I tied some Whisper White Baker's Twine on the ornament and the words are from "Border Banter".  Last I trimmed it with some Gumball Green card stock made with the Scallop Edge Border Punch.

Pleasant Poppies

I stamped this background stamp "Pleasant Poppies" with Jet Black StazOn Ink on some First Edition Specialty DSP.  Then, I colored the poppies with Tangerine Tango, Melon Mambo, and Daffodil Delight markers and the stems with Wild Wasabi.  I mounted it on Tangerine Tango card stock and tied some coordinated Scallop Dots Ribbon. 

Five in a Row

 

I saw a card similar to this in Stampin' Success (a magazine for SU demonstrators) and thought it was darling!  I changed it up by using Crumb Cake with the Chevron Embossing Folder for the background.  Then, I stamped the flowers from "Bright Blossoms" in Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Pacific Point, and Elegant Eggplant and the stems  in Gumball Green.  I used the 1 1/4" Circle Punch to make the semi-circles under the flowers.  Last, I added a Daffodil Delight button tied with some Linen Thread.
