You're Amazing

So much to celebrate today!  Today is the first day to earn sale-a-bration products!!  For every $50 spent, you'll receive one product from the sale-a-bration catalog...your choice what you want!

I made this card for this month's stamp-a-stack.  I love using the same color of cardstock for both layers as well as for the greeting and sponging.  I love this flower trim available in the Spring Mini.  For this card, I caught the flowers apart and glued them on with tombow.  It's the perfect addition to this card.  Today is also download Tuesday!  Check out the latest downloads here.  Of course, I'm getting the twine!  Order your supplies here.

Flowers

Fifth Avenue Floral is one of those flower stamp sets that I really do like.  I've gotten a lot of use out of it while I have owned it.  For this card, I paired it with Curvy Verses.  The Baja Breeze CS is embossed using the Backgrounds 1 Texturz Plates.  The Texturz Plates provide a very subtle embossing looked.  So very different from the Impressions Folders.  I accented the card with the Chantilly Crochet Trim.  It's so hard for me to say good bye to some of my favorite stamp sets, tools, and accessories!  Order your supplies here.

Thinking of You Vintage

Sadly, I feel like I should make a stash of sympathy cards...it seems I've had a need for a lot more of these types of cards lately.  This DSP has been sititng on my desk for awhile, and I just had to use it.  I aged the paper first by crumpling it up and then I used the distressing kit to add a bit of color and to rough up the edges.  I used the ink on the ribbon as well.  Order your supplies here.

Cupcake Birthday

I needed to make a few birthday cards so I decided to participate in the Stamping 411's Saturday Sketch.  I really like how this card turned out and will be perfect for the teenager that it's going to.  I've been on a kick lately to use the smooch accents lately...can you see the sparkle on the sprinkles and the flame?  Just the right touch!  This color combo came from the Color Coach!  I also crimped the cupcake wrapper to add a bit more dimension.  I find myself using the buttons more now that they came in so many colors...I just wish they came in ALL of our colors.  The Crochet Trim was a bit too light so I sponged it up with River Rock ink to make it match better :)  Have a great day!  Check out the Stamping 411's sketch today!  Order your supplies here.

Fabric Fun Again

I love the fabric pins so I HAD to come up with a card that would allow the flower to be removable as well.  I attached the fabric around the card front and tie the side with the crochet trim.  I tied the flower on to the fabric as well with the same crochet trim.  Makes it perfect for a gift card :)  Order your supplies here.
