Sending Birthday Wishes

This card was inspired by a card done by Mary Fish.  I thought it was sooooo pretty that I wanted to make my own.  I couldn't make it exactly the same because I don't have any Basic Gray card stock like she used.  So, I decided to go with a pink and brown concept.  I used Chocolate Chip and Craft card stock with Whisper White, Pretty in Pink,  and Sending Love DSP.  The stamp set is my favorite sale-a-bration stamp set ever:  Happy Moments.  I've never used a free set so much!  LOVE IT!  The Sending Love DSP already had the glitter on it for some bling and I also added some of the Chocolate Chip Sending Love Epoxy Brads.  I dry embossed the pieces of Craft and Pretty in Pink Card stock pieces too.  The ribbon is Chocolate Chip 5/8" satin ribbon which is available in the Occasions Mini along with the Sending Love DSP and the Epoxy brads.  I also did some faux stitching around the circles that I cut with my Big Shot and the Circles 2 die.  Thanks for looking!!!

Blooming in Turquoise

I saw this card by "beestamper" on http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ .   I just thought the turquoise on black and white was a gorgeous combination.  I changed mine up a bit.  She used a different DSP.  I actually used the Botanical Blooms stamp set with Taken with Teal, Bermuda Bay and Tempting Turquoise classic inks and created my own paper.  I also dry embossed the Tempting Turquoise card stock with the Finial Press embossing folder in my Big Shot.  I colored the flowers with the stamp'n'write markers in Tempting Turquoise, Taken with Teal, and Bermuda Bay and then I added some Dazzling Diamonds with my 2-way Glue Pen.  This card can be used for any number of occasions by adding a sentiment inside.  Thanks for looking!

Grateful

I found that strip of striped paper from the Autumn Splendor or Autumn Meadows DSP pack and decided to build a card around it.  I love this stamp set too.  I stamped and embossed each leaf on Creamy Caramel card stock.  I used the Craft Stampin' Spots for the Chocolate Chip, Really Rust and More Mustard.  If you're wondering where the More Mustard one is, that is because I decided to leave it off because there wasn't enough room.  For the Taken with Teal leaf, I stamped the leaf on Versamark ink and then into the Taken with Teal.  All of them were then heat embossed with clear embossing powder.  I stamped the greeting, which is from the Falling Leaves stamp set, with Chocolate Chip Craft Stampin' Spot ink and embossed that with clear embossing powder as well.  The last little accents are the Chocolate Chip striped ribbon and More Mustard button from the Playground collection.  I tied some white string through the button and around the ribbon too!  Thanks for looking!

Happy Birthday Flower

This was a fun card to make!  I used ornament punch to make the flower petals and then dry embossed them with my perfect polka dots embossing folder and my Big Shot.  Then I sponged them all with Melon Mambo ink.  I also embossed the Whisper White the same way and sponged the edges with Real Red ink.  I used an old set: So Many Scallops for the middle of the flower.  I kind of made this up as I went!  I hope you like it!  Thanks for looking!

Shimmery Love You Much

I created this card for my friend Rich's wife Christine for Valentine's Day.  He asked me to make her one in purple and red.  So this was my second attempt and I like this one best so this will be the one I show him.  I hope he likes it!  I used some cool things on this card.  Firstly, I figured out how to use the  corner punch with the borner punch without messing it up or having it crooked or not match up.  Worked out awesome on this card!  I was so excited to get it right for once!  I also used the shimmer paint mist on this too.  You can see the sparkles if you look closely.  :0)

Finial Press Love You Much

I saw this card on http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ By Weekend Warrior but it had a few differences.  I changed mine up and used a different sheet of the Sending Love DSP.  I absolutely LOVE this paper!  It's so pretty!  This was also my first time using the Finial Press Embossing Folder.  I love this texture!  It adds a whole other dimension to the card and a touch of elegance!

Look Who's Turning 3!

This card is for my son Daniel's 3rd birthday!  He's obsessed with trains so I thought using the Choo Choo set would be perfect!  I got some inspiration from another card I found on http://www.slitcoaststampers.com/  but I changed it up and made my own version and based my color scheme on the Sweet Pea Designer Series Paper that I used.  For the puffs of smoke, I used the stamp from Choo Choo and embossed with Detail White embossing powder after stamping it with Versamark ink.    I think Daniel will actually really like this card!  (At least I hope so! LOL!)
