Absolutely Amazing

For this card, I paired a couple differently colored patterns of designer series paper from the Expressions in Ink collection with the Color and Contour stamp set. 

In the background, I used Polished Pink, Pale Papaya and Bumblebee ink to add some random images and then added the Evening Evergreen and designer series paper layer over the top. The glimmer paper is from last year's Sale-a-bration and the sentiment is punched out using the Label me Lovely punch.

Smile

I really love the Star Crossed embossing folder and have used it in the background of this card on some Soft Suede card stock.  The texture is very detailed, but I also like the fact that there are two different designs.

The stamp set is no longer current, and you could certainly replace this sentiment with something else using the same layout design.  The sentiment is punched out with the Label Me Lovely punch and I used a strip of Hand Penned designer series paper and some Wonderful gems on the card as well.

Supplies:

Soft Suede Ink

Basic White, Soft Suede card stock 

Hand penned dsp

Wonderful gems

Label Me Lovely punch

Star Crossed embossing folder

Create unique handmade cards using the Star Crossed Embossing Folder. This embossing folder is made of two different patterns separated diagonally. On one side is a diagonal crossed-lines pattern and on the other side is a stars pattern. Using embossing folders in paper crafting elevates your projects; it gives them dimension and texture. Use this one on card backgrounds to give your projects an elegant look that's perfect for any season and holiday.

* 1 folder
* Size: 4-1/2" x 6-1/4" (11.4 x 15.9 cm)
* Use with a Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine

It’s easy to make a great impression! Just place flat cardstock in this embossing folder, run it through a Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine, and out comes cardstock with a bold textured design.

Sheltering You With Love

The stamp set Inspired Thoughts has sentiments for lots of different occasions that can be used alone or coordinated with another sentiment in the same stamp set.  For this project, I paired two of them together for a sympathy card.

The designer series paper is called You're a Peach and I picked two different patterns along with a punched piece of Balmy Blue to use under the top sentiment.

Approaching Perfection

In the next couple of weeks I am planning to share projects that were created with items that will be available in the upcoming mini catalog in January as well as the Sale-a-bration catalog for January and February.  

The stamp set and the designer series paper used on these cards are both free Sale-a-bration items that you can earn starting in January.  The stamp set is called Approaching Perfection and the designer series paper is a 6" x 6" stack called Oh So Ombre.

I used the Postage punch and Label Me Lovely punch to layer the sentiment on a couple of these cards and added some white baker's twine as well.

Best Dressed Club House

On each of the two cards below, I have used designer series paper from two different collections - Best Dressed and Club House.  Since the layout is also quite similar, I thought I would share the two cards together.  

On the first one, I have used the Music from the Heart Stamp set on a die cut from the Stitched Shapes framelits collection and a piece of Crumb Cake ribbon.

On the second, I chose to use the So Sentimental stamp set and the new Label Me Lovely punch that fits well with this thank you sentiment.

The ink color I used was Mint Macaron, but I think if I made a similar card with these designer series paper collections together I would maybe use Night of Navy or Old Olive ink instead.
