Apothecary Art Birthday

This card is full of goodies from the new Occasions Mini.  The new Framelets dies, the Apothecary Art stamps set that coordinates.  Sponging the edges of the card layers really made it stand out.  I also love the Cherry Cobbler Seam binding.

I used an aqua painter pen to color the images in on the front.  If you have any questions, please let me know.  Don't forget that you have until the end of March to get FREE products through our Sale-A-Bration promotion.  Happy Stamping!!!

Color Butterflies

I must admit I was not a big fan of this coral color.  We made this card at my monthly stamp group last month and I fell in love with the color!  We used a wonderful sale-a-bration set called Fresh Vintage along with the Butterflies embosslit die to complete this card.

We used the marker to stamp technique to color the background stamped image in Calypso Coral and Lucky Limeade.  We added a few of the butterflies and topped them off with pearls.

St. Patrick's Day Card

My monthly stamp group will be getting together in the next couple of weeks and while I had some free time this weekend, I decided to go ahead and work on my swaps.

I used some products that I've had for a while but haven't used yet.  I started out with a Wild Wasabi card base and added a layer of Very Vanillia.  I used the distressed dots background stamp with Wild Wasabi ink.

I then pulled out my big shot and used the Tasteful Trims Bigz XL die and cut the jumbo ric-rack from that. I used a sale-a-bration set from last year for the little four leaf clover.  I then used the Wild Wasabi embossing powder and heat set it for a little added texture.

I stamped the label using the Four Frames stamp set in Wild Wasabi ink and finished it off with a greeting from Teeny Tiny Wishes. *I just love that set*  I used some of the new organza ribbon from the sale-a-bration catalog to finish it off.

If you have any questions, please let me know!!  Happy Stamping!!!

Something Sweet Valentine Card 2

For this card, I kept the same design as my last card except I wanted to use the sweet treat cup with it.  I used a Melon Mambo card base, Pink Pirouette for the layer, and Whisper White to stamp on.  I used Melon Mambo to ink up the machine. 

I used my Stamp-a-ma-jig a great deal in lining all the stamps up just right.  I then used the small heart punch and added several of the punched hearts to the sweet treat cup.  I finished off the card with a sentiment from the new P.S. I Love You set and some Pretty in Pink satin ribbon.  If you have any questions, please let me know!  Thanks!

Something Sweet Valentine Card 1

I wanted to pull out this Something Sweet stamp set and do a Valentine's card with it.  I used this same layout on a card last year and I really liked how it looked.  I used Crystal Effects over the globe part to give it the 'glass' effect.  This set is so fun to use!  Check back next week for a card with the same design but using the sweet treat cups!  Thanks for looking!!
