Pansy Card

This is one of the cards from my Spring Everyday Workshop. This card showcases another way to use the Butterfly punch; butterfly to pansy. This card was a little time consuming but everyone loved it. It looks great in person. I used the Shimmery White Cardstock for the pansy; I think the paper holds up better with all the sponging and the finial misting of Shimmer Mist Spray.

Open Sea Easel Card

This card is the other make-n-take from the Lions Club Crop this past Saturday. I love the color combo of Cherry Cobbler, Night of Navy, and Natural Ivory with “The Open Sea” Stamp Set and the new “Stripes” Textured Impressions Embossing Folder; very nautical. Let me just say that I love the new Denim Ribbon…I love the feel of it. The Blue matches Night of Navy.

Scallop Easel Card

This card is one of the make-n-takes from the Lions Club Crop this past Saturday. I love the color combo of Bravo Burgundy, Pink Pirouette and Sahara Sand with the image from the Elements of Style Stamp Set and the Faux Silk technique. I loved the image so much; I had to make it into an easel card so the receiver can display the card. I really think the one thing that really makes this card is the few sprays of the Champagne Shimmer Mist Spray. It really makes it sparkle and gives it a silk look (The pictures does not do it justice).

Stamps: Elements of Style (W#118611, C#120045), You’re a Gem (W#122268, C#122270), Petite Pairs (W#122495, C#122497)

Zoo Review meets Well Worn

This is another Stamp set that I loved when I saw the new catalog. (Zoo Review) I love the look of the images. I think they will look great on a scrapbook page of a Zoo Trip but I am really thinking Disney Animal Kingdom. I do like the images on cards too. I used the same layout but different colors, making one masculine card and a child birthday card.

I used the new Well Worn Designer Series Paper, I love the colors in this pack; Not Quite Navy, Cajun Craze, Early Espresso, River Rock, Soft Suede, and So Saffron.

For the child birthday card I used Soft Suede, Cajun Craze, and River Rock. The masculine card I used, So Saffron, Cajun Craze, and Not Quite Navy.

Merry & Type

Have you seen the new catalog? This "Merry & Type" stamp set was one of the first sets that caught my eye. I made a promise to myself that I would get my Christmas Cards for my workshop done before the end of August. So I played with this stamp set and I came up with two different layouts, I know they look very similar. I can't decide on which one I like best, but I am leaning towards the "Peace on Earth" card. If you can't tell from the pictures, yes I did spray the card fronts with Shimmer Mist Spray.
