From More Amore to Sycamore Street - these papers rock!

 

Today I've got a few quick and easy cards to show that I'm using for a 10-card class and workshop. I've had a busy week of clubs, classes and a team meeting and have several more events coming up this month.

 

This Very Vanilla card uses More Amore Specialty dsp (there are two sheets of the laser-cut hearts you simply cut apart), Fancy Fold embossed Primrose Petals card stock punched on two sides with the Scallop Trim Border. The sentiment is from the Loving Hearts stamp set.

 



 

This Basic Gray card shows off another pattern of the More Amore Specialty dsp. I added a strip of Pool Party that has been punched with the Scallop Border, and a knot of 1/8" Very Vanilla taffeta. The sentiment is from the Sale-a-Bration stamp set Pretty Petites, which was then punched with the Petite Curly Label. (both SAB freebies).

 



 

This Rich Razzleberry card uses a couple of strips of Sycamore Street dsp, the Oval Collections Frame and Oh, Hello stamp set. I used Summer Starfruit and Island Indigo markers to ink up the flower, and that layer is adhered with dimensionals.

 

I'll have a couple more easy cards tomorrow, then my team's fabulous swaps, so come back soon!

You can never go wrong by saying Thanks So Much

 

Go bold for words when you're saying "Thanks." This sentiment came from the Spring Catalog stamp set called Oh, Hello.

 



 

I started with a bright pattern from the Sycamore Street dsp pack (a Sale-a-Bration freebie you may pick with a $50 order starting January 22), added a couple rows of Sycamore Street ribbon (another SAB freebie) and a couple rhinestones. I used the Oval Collection framelits to die-cut the Island Indigo oval, then ran it through Chevron embossing folder before adding the banner.

I made this card for the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #68. You have till Monday at noon to play along! 



 



 

Here's the same card only different! Same ribbon - except I used a strip of Rich Razzleberry card stock - same stamp set, embossing folder, framelit and Sycamore Street dsp pack. This card is Summer Starfruit. I'm using these cards for my swap at my American Ink team gathering today.

 

Happy Stampin'!

Oh, Hello flower for Freshly Made, PPA challenges

 

I'm diggin' the Pretty Petites stamp set (a Sale-a-Bration freebie with a $50 order starting January 22). And I love the Petite Curly Label punch that fits perfectly with those stamps. I heat-embossed the stamp in White Craft ink and white embossing powder.

 



 

I created this Basic Gray card using sketch #67 at Freshly Made, and the Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge. The patterned paper is from the Twitterpated dsp pack. I used the Tasteful Trim die for the big black scallop, and an antique brad.

 

The flower stamp from Oh, Hello was stamped in Basic Gray and then diecut using the new Ovals Collection framelits. Both items are in the Spring Catalog.

  

 

I think it looks pretty classy! What do you think? I hope you're enjoying your day.

It's almost time to say Ciao, Baby! to another year

 

Today I'm saying Ciao, Baby! because that's the name of a cute new stamp set in the Spring Catalog that features images that fit perfectly into new, smaller scallop circle and curly label punches.

 



I made this card for color challenge #232 at Create with Connie and Mary,

and sketch challenge #273 at Mojo Monday. It uses new products from the 2013 Spring Catalog - an oval framelit, the oval chevron stamp from a new set called Oh, Hello, the 7/8" scallop circle punch, and a silver basics designer button. You're also getting a peek at one of the three satin ribbons that comes in a free pack with coordinating buttons for our Sale-a-Bration Event, which starts January 22.

 

 

The Whisper White, Pool Party and Silver Glimmer Paper made me think of a baby boy, so that's where my idea came from. I hope you like it!

 

The card measures 4-1/4" x 8-1/2" (folding in half). You might also notice I used the Chevron Embossing Folder to coordinate with the stamp.

 

Happy Stampin'!
