Watercolor Trio Sympathy

I pulled out some In Colors for this sympathy card.  I really like how these three colors work together - Island Indigo, Lucky Limeade and Wisteria Wonder.  My focal image is stamped with Watercolor Trio.  I used a couple oval Nesties to die cut and mat it.  The background is embossed with the Vintage Wallpaper folder.  I added a piece of ruffled ribbon on a strip punched with the scallop trim punch.  My sentiment is from the set Teeny Tiny Wishes.  To give my stamped image a little depth I used a color spritzer tool with my Island Indigo marker.  Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Anniversary for Mom & Dad

Last week was my parents anniversary.  This is the card I made for them.  I haven't used much of the designer fabric so I decided to pull it out for this card.  I adhered the fabric to some chipboard and then ran it through my Big Shot.  The leaf looks really great made from fabric!  I layered that on a background piece I embossed with the Square Lattice folder.  My color combo is Soft Suede, Pool Party and Very Vanilla.  The sentiment is from an old retired set.  Thanks for stopping by!

Up, Up & Away Sketch Challenge

Well, I'm officially sick of Christmas cards!  Maybe it's because we got 6 inches of snow today.  I'm just not ready.  So, I decided to pull out a fun set to play with tonight.  For this card I used the cute hot air balloon set called Up, Up & Away.  I really like this cut out sketch.  It was easier to do than I thought it would be.  It's from Splitcoast - SC360.  My DSP is called Just Add Cake.  My color combo is Wild Wasabi, Marina Mist, Peach Parfait and So Saffron.  The only embellishment is a strip punched with the scallop edge punch.  I love how this turned out!  Thanks for stopping by. 

Pines & Poinsettias with Holly Berry Bouquet

I haven't done very much with the pretty flower stamp from the Pines & Poinsettias set.  I decided to pull it out tonight.  I paired this with some Holly Berry Bouquet DSP.  The card base is embossed with the Perfect Polka Dots folder.  My sentiment is from the set Teeny Tiny Wishes.  I layered that on the Word Window and Modern Label punches.  My color combo is Real Red, Wild Wasabi, Cherry Cobbler and Chocolate Chip.  I added a strip of scalloped Chocolate Chip ribbon behind my stamped image.  Finally, I finished it off with a couple pearls.  Thanks for stopping by!

Peaceful Wishes

I've been making a lot of cards using the Holly Berry Bouquet DSP and color combo.  For this card I pulled out an old favorite stamp set called Peaceful Wishes.  I love the pine cone and bough in this set.  I think Stampin Up needs a new pine tree set!  We haven't had one for years now.  My color combo is Chocolate Chip, Real Red and Wild Wasabi.  I used the Tasteful Trim die and scallop ribbon punches.  My sentiment is from the set Christmas Greetings.  I added a couple corduroy buttons for embellishment.  Thanks for stopping by!

A Mojo Monday Christmas

I made this card for last week's Mojo Monday sketch - MOJO214.  My color combo is Wild Wasabi, Real Red and Chocolate Chip.  The DSP is called Holly Berry Bouquet.  I also used some First Edition DSP to make my flower rosette.  I added a designer brad to the center.  I used a couple different embossing folders - Perfect Polka Dots and Petals a Plenty.  My stamped image is from the set Tags til Christmas.  I punched this with the Decorative Label punch.  My sentiment is from the set Short and Sweet.  I added a scallop punched strip to finish it off.  Thanks for stopping by!

One More Christmas Card Done!

I got another Christmas card done this week.  I really like how this turned out!  I used the ornament from the Tags til Christmas set with the coordinating punch.  My sentiment is from the wheel Jolly Jingles.  My color combo is Real Red, Wild Wasabi and Very Vanilla.  The DSP is called Holly Berry Bouquet from the Holiday mini.  I love the Real Red glittery polka dots pattern in this pack.  It's much prettier in real life.  My background mat is embossed with the Perfect Polka Dots folder.  I added some silver cord and a couple rhinestones to finish it off.  Thanks for stopping by!

Lucky in Vegas Digi Layout

A few weeks ago I took a business trip to Las Vegas.  It was a really great trip.  I'd never been before but I will definitely be going back!  The highlight of my trip was winning an iPad2 at the vendor fair.  I was so excited!  I knew I needed to make a layout.  I used the Plentiful kit from the Shabby Shoppe.  This layout also uses the template from the Shabby Shoppe's Blog Challenge 18.  My font is a freebie called Just Realize.  The photos are a little blurry but I still love how this turned out.  Thanks for stopping by!

Stamp Camp Projects

I have a Christmas Card Stamp Camp scheduled for next weekend.  These are the four projects I have planned.  I hope everyone likes them!

The first card uses the set Pennant Parade with the coordinating punch.  I love how the set is so versatile.  The trees are just as cute as the pennants!  The sentiment is from the set Petite Pairs.  For punches we're using the scallop ribbon and circle punches.  My background panel is embossed with the Houndstooth folder.  I finished it off with a designer button.

The second project is nice and simple.  It's always good to have an easy one!  I used the set Serene Snowflakes on the focal image.  The sentiment is from the set Many Merry Messages.  My color combo is Not Quite Navy, Baja Breeze and Whisper White.  I added a rhinestone to finish it off. 

The third card uses the set Stitched Stockings and the coordinating punch.  I used a couple different embossing folders - Perfect Polka Dots and Snow Burst.  The DSP is called Frostwood Lodge.  My sentiment is from the set Pennant Parade.  The color combo is Cherry Cobbler, Marina Mist and Whisper White.  There's a little pearl in the center of the snowflake but it's hard to make out in the photo!

The final project uses Pines & Poinsettias for the focal image.  I layered that on a circle punch and two Fancy Flower punches.  The DSP is called Holly Berry Bouquet.  The card base is embossed with the Petals a Plenty folder.  My sentiment is from the set Teeny Tiny Wishes.  It's punched with the Word Window punch.  I added a designer button for embellishment.  I think that's it.  Thanks for stopping by!

Stitched Stockings

I pulled out an old Mojo Monday sketch for this card - Mojo198.  It caught my eye awhile ago and I've finally gotten around to trying it out.  I used the Stitched Stockings set and coordinating punch.  My DSP is from the Holiday mini.  It's called Holly Berry Bouquet.  My color combo is Wild Wasabi, Real Red and Chocolate Chip.  I mounted my stocking on a mat embossed with the Houndstooth folder.  My sentiment is from the set Tags til Christmas.  I layered that on a couple circle punches and a scallop circle punch.  I don't usually like really wide ribbon on cards.  It just doesn't fit my style.  I got a little of this striped ribbon free with the Christmas Keepsake box so I decided to add some to this card.  I think I like....lol.  It's still not my style but in small doses it can be nice.  Finally I added a strip punched with the scallop edge punch.  Thanks for stopping by!
