Butterfly card

I really like how this card turned out. I cased the layout from someone on Splitcoast Stampers, but I'm sorry I didn't save the post or the name of the artist. Thank you if it was you! :) All stamps are by Stampin' UP! - Stipple Butterfly, Script, and Beyond the Basics. I colored the butterly using a blender pen and ink pad. Colors - Pale Plum, Perfect Plum, Mellow Moss and Cameo Coral.

Swing Card




I tried without much success to make a swing (or flip flop) card in the past. But, I wanted a card with a different fold, so I tried again. You can find the directions here on Splitcoast Stampers. For some reason, it made sense to me this time and it turned out the way it was supposed to. :) I like when a plan comes together. The cutting for me was the hardest part and after getting the right, it was easy.The stamps are all by Stampin' UP! I used Looks Like Spring and Sweet Dreams for the sentiment. The colors are Green Galore, Yoyo Yellow, and Only Orange. The punched flowers are the punch that matches the Looks Like Spring stamp set.

Bookmark Card



This is a book mark card that I made for a swap. The flower pot was made using an origami fold. I used Really Rust card stock, but it would have been easier to do with a thinner paper. It also made the card heavy and thick. I also used Ruby Red, Old Olive, More Mustard and Close to Cocoa card stock and ink. The cardstock and stamps (Inspired by Nature) are by Stampin' UP!

Friend to Friend


This card was done using some textured scrapbook paper from my stash. I added it to Rose Romance card and stamped the flowers from Pocket Silhouettes by Stampin' UP! I added ribbon from my basket and colored a fabric flower and added a pearl to it. Let me know what you think!

Quilted Cards



I just learned to do a Quilted card from Brandy. Thanks Brandy! These are the two cards that I made using this technique. All stamps by Stampin' UP! The scrapbook paper is from my stash and I'm not sure who makes it. Rose Romance is the main color on both cards. Thanks for looking!

Friend Card


Here is a card I made for a VC Rocks challenge. To use an inchie in the design. All stamps used by Stampin' UP! Flower stamps are from Looks Like Spring and sentiment stamp is from Sweet Dreams. Colors: So Saffron, Rose Red, Lavendar Lace and Garden Green. I used Dazzling Diamond glitter in the centers of the punched flowers. Enjoy!

Looks Like Spring Bookmark


Here is a bookmark using the Stampin' UP! sets Looks Like Spring and Sweet Dreams. I used the same colors as in the previous post, So Saffron, Bliss Blue and Brocade Blue. The other side is personalized for a friend. She hasn't received it yet, so I didn't post a picture of the other side. It has her name spelled out using letters from a sizzlit alphabet. The ribbon slides through the main part of the bookmark so you can turn it either way. Thanks for looking!

Looks Like Spring Card


This is a card that I did for a swap. It uses the Stampin' UP! sets Looks Like Spring and Wonderful Words. The cardstock and ink are So Saffron, Bliss Blue and Brocade Blue. Thanks for looking!
