Another Summer Smooches!

I am loving this product suite and I am sooooo very happy that SU is giving us a sneak peek of some items from the new catalog.  Today's card uses several products from this suite. 

This card was made by Kimberly Allen who I swap with.  It is one of the fabulous cards that travels in my baskets with  me to workshops, classes, and club meetings.  It uses the daffodil delight seam binding, bright blossoms stamp set, and summer smooches dsp all from the April promotion.  You can view more about how to order these items on my April 1st post.  It also uses some Big Shot accessories.  The polka dot folder, designer frames folder (oval one), and the oval original die are all used with the Big Shot on this card.  Have a great day and thanks for stopping in for a minute or two with me!



Happy Valentine's Day!

Hi all!   A couple cards to share today.  I've been a bit lacking in posting.  I have been busy with lots of different irons in the fire.  From ranching duties to stamping duties.  Anyway I hope your Valentine's Day is filled with wishes come true for you!

This first card I cased from somewhere on the internet--can't remember where but I did it up in cherry cobbler with the new hearts embossing folder from the occasion's mini and the stamp sets including I Heart Hearts and the Delightful Dozen.  The heart to heart punch also adds some heart to this project.

Happy Valentine's Day!

This second card was created by me.  I used the Sprinkled Expressions Sale-a-bration set along with wisteria wonder color theme.    The dsp from the bottom comes from Sweet Shop out of the occasion's mini.  The oval folder is from the designer frames folders on page 218 of the current IB&C.  I love how you can use the ovals die to cut the ovals and then texture them with this folder.  Awesome!  I love this bunch of in colors, other colors used here are lucky limeade, and pool party.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Creative Elements

Today's post uses the stamp set creative elements found on page 137 of the 2011-2012 IB&C.  It uses a fall theme of colors that I really love together; perfect plum, more mustard, and old olive. 

I used the Big Shot and the new designer frames embossing folders.  I only used one of them but you get two in the package.  I then stamped the curly cute (Page 168) saying in the middle top using elegant eggplant ink.  I stamped the flourish around the edges as well.  On some scrap mustard, I stamped the flower in elegant eggplant as well and trimmed it out.  The pearl accents were colored with a permanent marker.  I am loving those little strips of pearls and rhinestones that you get in the package with the single ones.  Have a great weekend!  Thanks for stopping in.
