Fabulous Florets Easel

This was a wedding card I made; I loved the ‘vintagy’ look of this colour combo and, quite by chance, it matched the wedding flowers.
(I CASEd this card from one I saw at our regional Heartfelt event last November, but unfortunately I didn’t get the name of the maker of the original. If it was yours, please let me know so I can give you the credit!)

Card: Naturals Ivory
Stamp Pads: Crumb Cake, Soft Suede
Stamps: Fabulous Florets, Love & Laughter
Other: Framelits – Labels, Lacy Brocade embossing folder, Seam Binding – Crumb Cake, shimmer paint – Champagne Mist, pearls

Back to Posting!

Wow! I certainly didn’t mean to take such a long break from blogging, but we have had ongoing computer and internet problems so I just haven’t been able to do anything! I have finally got some cards to share, so will schedule them over a few days – can’t have them all at once, can I?

This was a card I made for a friend way back in January:

Card: Whisper White, Marina Mist, Vellum
Stamp Pads: Marina Mist
Stamps: Tea Shoppe, Teeny Tiny Sentiments
Other: Delicate Doilies sizzlits, Lacy Brocade embossing folder, baker’s twine – Whisper White, shimmer paint – Champagne Mist

Another card with the Papaya Collage stamp set, this one a monochromatic look:

Stamp Pads: Crumb Cake, Soft Suede
Stamps: Papaya Collage, En Francais, Tea Shoppe
Other: Framelits – Bitty Banners, crochet trim – Victoria, antique brads

Papillon Potpourri

I used Stampin’ Write markers and a stamp from the Flowering Flourishes set to create a DSP look on this card. The butterflies were stamped in Midnight Muse and I just pulled a little colour from the outline with an aqua painter.

Other: Stampin’ Write markers – Calypso Coral, Lucky Limeade, Lacy Brocade embossing folder, Scallop Trim border punch, Framelits – Apothecary Accents, Simply Scored, dimensionals

Yet Another CASE

The last card we made in our Christmas card class was this one which I CASE’d from US demo Connie Stewart. Connie has done a fantastic series of videos for quick cards which she calls flash cards and this was one of them.

I just made a few minor changes, including a beautiful faux ribbon bow which I saw here on another US demo, Connie Collins’, blog!

Stamps: Delightful Decorations, More Merry Messages
