Think of You

I have a few new catalog previews to share with you this month and the great part is that you can also order these items before the new catalog comes out!  You can see one of the bundle options at the end of the post.

The card today also features two of the new In Colors coming in the new catalog - Tranquil Tide and Fresh Fig.

The base of the card is Fresh Fig card stock and I have used the same ink for the sentiment.  The layer matting the designer series paper is Tranquil Tide and I added a Eastern Gold vinyl sticker to the left side of the card and on the Dapper Denim die cut.

Supplies:

Eastern Beauty

Fresh Fig ink

Fresh Fig, Very Vanilla, Dapper Denim, Tranquil Tide card stock

Eastern Palace specialty paper

Eastern Gold vinyl stickers

Eastern Medallions thinlits

Sending Comfort

Today I have another sympathy card to share with you, I made quite a few different styles recently for a customer...This one again uses the Flourishing Phrases stamp set, but not for the sentiment, this time for the flower. 

The sentiment is from the Suite Seasons stamp set and I added some Crumb Cake ribbon in one corner attaching it in the back with some washi tape to hold it in place.

Supplies:

Suite Seasons, Flourishing Phrases

Perfect Plum, Wild Wasabi ink

Very Vanilla, Wild Wasabi card stock

Crumb Cake taffeta ribbon

Retiring lists...

Blooms and Bliss Sympathy

One of the items I always am sad to see retire is the designer series paper.  I kind of get attached to some of them even though I know that there will be fun new ones coming in the new catalog.  This collection is one I will especially miss - the Blooms and Bliss designer series paper pack.  I just love the color combinations...If you would like to see the retiring list, you can go here...remember that the products are while supplies last. 

I chose to use a piece of this designer series paper in the background and then took a piece of Whisper White card stock and used the Blooms and Wishes stamp set to make a pattern with similar colors behind my sentiment.  The sentiment is from Flourishing Phrases and is stamped with Early Espresso ink.

Supplies:

Blooms and Wishes, Flourishing Phrases

Mint Macaron, Tip Top Taupe, Early Espresso ink

Tip Top Taupe, Mint Macaron, Whisper White card stock

Blooms and Bliss designer series paper

Dad

I realized I hadn't used the Urban District stamp set for a Father's Day card yet so before it retires I wanted to do that.  This one uses Crumb Cake, Dapper Denim and Early Espresso card stock colors.

I randomly stamped the D,A, and D on the Dapper Denim and the added my other elements.  You will notice a familiar embossed hexagon shape on this card, I used another a few days ago...It is cut out with the Build it framelits and embossed with the Hexagons dynamic folder (one of my favorites!).

To complete the card I added a few Urban underground embellishments.

Supplies:

Urban District

Early Espresso ink

Crumb Cake, Dapper Denim, Early Espresso card stock

Urban underground embellishments

Hexagons dynamic folder

Build it Framelits

Hexagon Sympathy

I really love the soft patterns and colors in the Falling in Love designer series paper that is in the Occasions catalog (and retiring!!) and thought it would work well for some sympathy cards.

I chose to add a layer of designer series paper in the background and a matted one on top of it.  Then I took a die cut hexagon and embossed it with the Hexagons dynamic folder and added it behind the sentiment which is also on designer series paper.

Supplies:

Better Together

Early Espresso ink

Very Vanilla, Soft Sky, Early Espresso card stock

Hexagons dynamic folder

Build it framelits

Bride To Be

Another bridal shower card today!  This one uses the Custom Tee and T-Shirt Builder framelits bundle along with some Falling Love designer series paper.  I kept it fairly simple, but am thinking I should maybe add a little more...maybe a doily or some more stamped flowers...

To add a little texture, I placed some basic pearls on the card (I am sure going to miss those! - retiring!)...

Supplies:

Custom Tee

Early Espresso, Blushing Bride, Pool Party ink

Very Vanilla, Soft Sky card stock

Falling in Love dsp

Basic pearls

T-shirt builder framelits

The Light You Shine

I had a piece of the Cupcakes and Carousels designer series paper laying around and thought it would work well with the lighthouse and sentiment I wanted to use from the High Tide stamp set.

I stamped the lighthouse first and then added the sentiment before stamping the sand around it.  Then I took the card base and continued the sand, added water and birds.

There are a lot of different images on the card, but truthfully it came together quickly, that is always a good thing!

Supplies:

High Tide

Early Espresso, Pool Party, Crumb Cake ink

Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla card stock
