Wings and Sequins

It seems I am making more cards lately that don't have sentiments and today's sample is another of those.  My Watercolor Wings stamp set was collecting dust on the shelves so I decided to make a few cards with it and after playing around with a few color combinations, this is what I decided to stick with.

The ink colors are Berry Burst, Powder Pink, Peekaboo Peach, Wild Wasabi and Rich Razzleberry and I decided to add some Tutti-Fruitti adhesive backed sequins for some accents.

Supplies:

Watercolor Wings

Wild Wasabi, Rich Razzleberry, Peekaboo Peach, Berry Blast, Powder Pink ink

Whisper White, Powder Pink, So Saffron card stock

Tutti-Fruitti adhesive backed sequins

Welcome Baby

I really enjoy playing with the Sweet Little Something stamp set.  When I have shown customers samples using it, they immediately were intimidated by the layering of the images, but once they tried it out, they all realized it isn't as difficult as they thought.  I love to hear that!

While this is obviously a baby girl card with the pinks, I did make some using blues and greens and well to have around when I need.  The sequins actually ended up on the cards because I had a little ink smudge, but I ended up putting them on all the cards because I thought they fit well.

Supplies:

Sweet Little Something

Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, Early Espresso ink

Melon Mambo, Whisper White, Pink Pirouette card stock

Bubbles and Fizz designer series paper

Eclectic Birthday

The Eclectic Expressions stamp set (SAB 2018) is a fun one to play with if you like to create backgrounds with lots of color and splash.  For these cards, I chose a few of the different images and picked a different color for each one.

To break up the white I placed a small piece of Lemon Lime Twist card stock behind the sentiment alone with some Bermuda Bay chevron ribbon.  The adhesive backed sequins were added last to give the card a little bit of texture.

December Paper Pumpkin and Alternate Card Idea

I finally had time to play with the December Paper Pumpkin kit...It seems like when the kids are home on break, I don't get too much time to create.   The first picture is of the cards as they were intended to be...

The layered die cuts and glimmer paper really add a lot to the cards and after I made the first of each design, I decided to create a bunch of alternative ideas for you.  Below is the first alternative card idea and I will have two more days of other options coming up as well!

Other than the card base a few tutti-fruitti adhesive backed sequins, Shimmer ribbon (SAB 2018 and a piece of Lemon Lime Twist card stock, the elements of the card are from the kit.

Sequined Joy

In the Occasions catalog, there are some fun Silver mini gable boxes that measure 4" x 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" and come with 12 boxes for $8.00.  I left one of them folded as it comes and used the new Scattered Sequins dynamic impressions folder to emboss it before decorating the outside.

There are several different ribbons around the outside including some Sale-a-bration ribbon from last year and also some in the new 2018 Sale-a-bration catalog called the Shimmer ribbon pack (3 colors).  I added a tag stamped using the Cheers to the Year stamp set and some adhesive backed sequins as well.
