Pink and Brown Celebration

I used the Mulberry Batik technique for this one. The colors I used are chocolate chip, lovely lilac, and pixie pink. The balloons are really easy. Use the star punch-cut one of the tips off, turn the tip so it goes inside the circle, adhere it, and tie a ribbon around it. Voila a balloon.

Baroque Acetate in Navy 07

I really love the clear look, it is so elegant. For the card on the bottom: I Used the stazon opaque white on 5 1/4 x 5 1/4 acetate. Night of navy and Bordering Blue for the cardstock. Finished the card using Baroque Motifs stamp set, some navy ribbon. I adhered cardstock to the inside left for the Christmas Greeting. This was my fav of the three. I used it at one of my stamp camps in December 2007. This was definately a favorite!

Christmas Cards for 2007

For Father

I made the box for a workshop. The card for my dad. I actually made a few of these cards in varying colors and images from the "For Father" set. This one turned out to be favorite combo though. bravo burgandy and bordering blue.

Hedgehog Sharing

This is a magnetic card that I made for BFF-we got together and made her daughters first birthday cake. Then had her party. I am just so grateful that she is my friend and that she shares her family with me. Thanks Amber. I used soft sky, really rust, and SU papers. The hodgepodge and also some faux stitching around the pouch. The inside is hooked with magnets, very carefully under the paper so you can't see it.

Wonderful Butterfly

This was made for our workshop in October. I have some new people, they are the best. It is a challenge to make something for the advanced stamper as well the newbies. I think this project does a pretty good job. We embossed the butterfly with white then bleached it out. A couple punches the tricky bow and some pearls. We used the iridescent ice on the pink (from bella rose) so in the real world it sparkles. We did emboss the wonderful on the bottom. The background is basic gray, the pink is trimmed with ivory.

Amazing Daddy

I made this card for my amazing daddy. I used the crackle background stamp with moss, then stamped the little flower from 'pretty amazing' over top. The paper is SU designer from 07. I colored in the hummingbird with chalk, and put iridesent ice over the top of front piece. It sparkles in person. I am working on my photo skills so maybe I can retake this one. Thanks for looking at this one.

Glad You're Mine

I embossed with the cuttle bug, I think it matches really well with the stem on this flower. The paper I used was bordering blue, summer sun, white. For the inks I used tangerine tango, summer sun, riding hood red, bordering blue, bashful blue, basic gray to stamp the outline of the flower.

Loving Lilac

Oh sooooo many new toys to play with out of this caty. The scallop punch is a must have! And I love this hostess set "best yet" it has perfect sayings.... That flower is a bugger to line up though.

Thinking of You

I must admit I hate to waste anything. The flowers on the bottom are a recovered mistake. I just couldn't toss it. I was actually pretty happy of the outcome, if nothing else it is original.

The colors I used were summer sun, tangerine, riding hood. I used my creative memories ovals to cut out the part on top, and stamped in thinking of you.

Lonely

This was my last card of the day with this set anyway--Had a blast. Thanks for looking. I think the funest part was stamping on the ribbon, it really added a special zing. The colors used are Basic gray, craft white, old olive, very vanilla ribon. With a little hardware at the bottom. The card is a 5 1/4 x 5 1/4.

Get Well Magic

Ihad to make another magic card. The very first one I did I didn't publish. It was with the skunk from Pun Fun. I will have to try again and publish. The colors I used are turquoise, coral, saffron.

Priceless Butterflies

Technique Junkie at work here I used white paper and made the faux tile using a score blade. Then used the sponge brayer over with pale plum rolled over and filling in the 'grout'. Then I stamped the darker images over the top. The colors I used are rose red, pale plum, ruby red, mustard. You can barely see the grout lines, so when we do this in person you will better appreciate it. Isn't this set fun though "priceless" .

Creamed Baroque

This is the Joy fold card and Shaving Cream technique. We did this for my August 2008 workshops. Used the new Bella Rose paper. Also the "in colors" riding hood red, kiwi kiss. Stamped the saying with stazon black since we used glossy cardstock. Used an old punch to make the flowers. The first time I saw the new colors I was very disappointed, but wow I love them now. They coordinate so well with all the other colors. I love hearing the members first come in and say how beautiful a card is. Then when theirs is finished they are so in awe that they made something so beautiful. Thank you ladies for all your wonderful praise.

Dancin' Bug

Tilt Card Technique Really very cute. The little ladybug shakes. Used Old Olive, Chocolate Chip, Ruby Red, and white, Very Vanilla grosgrain ribbon.
