Best Wishes

Recently I put together a half a dozen or so of these Best Wishes cards using some scraps I had leftover from Stamp A stack cards I had taken out of my rotation.  For the stamp set, I chose Petal Palette and added some coordinating Pretty Petals designer series paper as well.

The Bermuda Bay background is embossed with the Oh My Stars embossing folder and I added some of my favorite glitter enamel dots for accents.

Supplies:

Petal Palette

Crumb Cake, Basic Black ink

Whisper White, Daffodil Delight, Bermuda Bay card stock

Oh My Stars folder

Pretty Petals dsp

White doily

Glitter enamel dots

Anniversary Stars

Today I have another anniversary card to share with you that uses some current items along with a few retired favorites.  I started with a piece of Wild Wasabi that was embossed with the Oh My Stars folder and added some Year of Cheer specialty paper and Glitter tape to it.  

Then, on my sentiment layer, I stamped some images from the Background Bits stamp set with Silver metallic ink and the sentiment from Milestone Moments in Elegant Eggplant.

Supplies:

Cheers to the Year, Background Bits, Milestone Moments

Silver, Elegant Eggplant ink

Wild Wasabi, Whisper White and Elegant Eggplant card stock

Glitter tape (retired SAB item)

Oh My Stars folder

Year of Cheer specialty paper

Half Full Birthday

This card just joined my Stamp A Stack rotation and it showcases the Half Full stamp set and the Stampin' Blends.  I used Old Olive and Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends to color in the wine bottle and then cut it out with the paper snips.  This is usually the step that most people don't enjoy - myself included - but it is just one piece to cut and I wanted the bottle to pop on the card.

The background is embossed with the Oh My Stars folder and I chose to use some retired designer series paper as an accent piece to break up the Tempting Turquoise embossed layer.

Supplies:

Half Full, Sunshine Wishes

Memento Black ink

Tempting Turquoise, Watermelon Wonder,

Whisper White card stock

Stampin' Blends

retired designer series paper

God Bless

I shared a card with you a little while ago using the "God Bless You" from the Trust God (retired) stamp set and today I have another one to share using brighter colors and some patterns.  

My base is Peekaboo Peach card stock and I added some Naturally Eclectic designer series paper along with some stamped images from the coordinating Oh So Eclectic stamp set.  There is a lace doily folded over behind the sentiment and I added an embossed layer of Berry Burst card stock in the background.

Supplies:

Trust God, Oh So Eclectic 

Peekaboo Peach, Berry Burst ink

Eastern Elegance

Today I have a couple cards to show you using the Eastern Elegance stamp set and coordinating thinlits, stickers, and specialty paper. 

I also used the Oh My Stars embossing folder on my background Tranquil Tide card stock on both cards.  It leaves a really good popped up impression and I really like this one - it is new to the New Idea Book and Catalog...

I chose to use Fresh Fig as my card stock and ink color and added in the coordinating colors that are in the Eastern Palace specialty paper - Dapper Denim, Tranquil Tide and Very Vanilla.

The Eastern Gold vinyl stickers really add a lot to the cards as accents, I also added a glitter enamel dot to one of the cards in the center.

Supplies:

Eastern Elegance

Fresh Fig ink

June Stamp Club Projects

This month, I used quite a bit of the new In Color called Berry Burst in the projects.  For the layout, I chose to pair Berry Burst with Powder Pink and the Color Theory designer series paper and Color Theory Memories and More pack.

The first card uses the Daisy Delight stamp set, Daisy Punch and Oh My Stars embossing folder along with an accent of 1/4" double stitched ribbon in Daffodil Delight.

Our second card uses the Wood textures designer series paper and Colorful Season stamp set.  The sentiment is stamped on a piece die cut with the Stitched Shapes framelits.

Each club member's layout looks slightly different since we used the Color Theory Memories and More cards and there aren't duplicates for that layouts but they look similar. 

I always have room for more in both my Virtual Stamp Club (every other month) and my Monthly Stamp Club - contact me for more information if you are interested!

A Special Note

There is a new stamp set in the upcoming catalog called Crafting Forever that has some really cute images and sentiments.  In the cards below, I chose to use the pens image and colored them in with the new In Colors. 

The sentiment is from Floral Phrases and I also used the new Oh My Stars embossing folder on the background.

Supplies:

Crafting Forever, Floral Phrases

Basic Black, Fresh Fig, Berry Burst, Lemon Lime Twist, Powder Pink, Crushed Curry ink and markers

Basic Black, Whisper White, Powder Pink, Lemon Lime Twist, Berry Burst card stock
