With Love and Care

Here are some cards that I made with the hostess set from the summer mini called Love & Care.  Perfect Plum is the color I used. 

I used the first edition and subtles dsp.  Some different punches as each one was slightly different between the modern label, scallop border, scallop circle, word window, etc.  Some had ribbon, some had rhinestones, some had brads, etc.  I used the stamp and write markers to color the flower with perfect plum and old olive and stamped them twice without reinking on the first edition dsp.  Also used very vanilla cs.  A fun card that you can put pretty much any greeting on.  Below is a peek at how I did the inside on some of them. 

Enjoy your Sunday and thanks for stopping by!  Back to the hay fields for me for the day!  Hoping the rain will stay away!





Fabulous Florets

Today's post is a card made by Mary Ammar.  I love Mary's style and love her bright colors in this card.  She used tangerine tango and rich razzleberry together for the flowers with a little dazzling diamonds glitter in the middle.  Layering against the black makes for a very rich, bright card!

She used the Fabulous Florets set from the new summer mini.  If you don't have one in your hot little hands you can download it by clicking on it over in the right hand margin of this blog.  The greeting comes from the Friends 24-7 stamp set.   Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Speaking of babies, I thought I would share a few calving pictures with you today as well, I am hoping we can get rid of snow and slop one day soon.
