Big Shot Thanks

Here is another card from my Spring Card Buffet. It uses the Top Note die for the Big Shot, along with the Cherry Blossom Embosslits Die (I love this one because it cuts and embosses at the same time). I used the 5 petal flower punch to make the leaves (just cut 2 of the petals off) and put a brad in the center of the flower. The "Thank You" is from the With All My Heart stamp set which debuted in the Occasions Mini Catalog, but is now in the current Idea Book and Catalog as well. I love this set! Check out some of the other cards I've made with it (and posted back in January and February).

Pink & Brown Thank You

Here is another project that we made at my Mystery Hostess Party last week. We used the With All My Heart stamp set and the Dot, dot, dot stamp from the Occasions Mini Catalog. I LOVE the Sending Love Designer Series Paper, so we used that as well. You can see that the inside of the card is vanilla, we added a sheet of very vanilla paper inside so you can see what is written in the card (since the chocolate chip is so dark). What a yummy card--very vanilla and chocolate chip:)

With All My Heart Flowers

I've been stamping with a lot of pink and red lately, so I decided it was time to try something new. This card uses Pumpkin Pie, Bashful Blue, and So Saffron. Depending on your monitor, you may or may not be able to see that there are So Saffron flowers stamped amidst the orange and blue ones, but believe me, there are. I used the With All My Heart stamp set that is in the current Occasions Mini Catalog for this card. The Thank You is stamped in white on the pumpkin card stock and then is punched out with the Modern Label punch. I love the striped grosgrain ribbon (comes in 6 colors) so I added that to the card as well. The saffron background paper has a subtle stripe to it and is from the Welcome Neighbor DSP pad (free during Sale-a-Bration).

This card was inspired by one that I saw on splitcoast, but I changed it up a little. I took the general layout and the color scheme and then added my own twist to it.

Olive Heart Flowers

I admit it, I'm not a huge fan of Old Olive. I don't know why, I just prefer Certainly Celery, Gable Green, Garden Green, Always Artichoke, and just about any other green more. I'm trying to branch out and use Olive a bit more in my cards. So, on this card, I only used Old Olive and white, and you know what--I love it!

I've been making a lot of cards using the With All My Heart stamp set, but it seems that most of them are red and pink, so I decided to think outside the box. I punched the flowers out with my 1-1/4" square punch and mounted them on a 1-3/8" Old Olive square (LOVE my square punches). The greeting is punched out with the Modern Label Punch. My background paper is from the Cottage Wall DSP.

With All My Heart Friend Card

Here's another card that uses the Sending Love Designer Series Paper and the With All My Heart stamp set. These two products coordinate so well, they just make creating cards so easy! I love the color combination too -- Pretty in Pink and Real Red, perfect for Valentine's! I also used the Dot, Dot, Dot stamp on top of the red flower. I finished off the card by tying a bit of white taffeta ribbon around the card.

With All My Heart Thank You

This card features the Sending Love Designer Series Paper and the With All My Heart stamp set from the Occasions Mini Catalog. I love this new paper, and it even has glitter on it! Unfortunately, the Pretty in Pink ink doesn't show up well in the photo (there are a couple of flowers stamped above the thank you). The ribbon is the white taffeta ribbon.

With All My Heart

I finally had a chance to use some of my new stamps tonight. I've had a box of goodies waiting for me, but I was out of town. This is a card that I made for my swap for my Saturday group meeting.

This card features the With All My Heart stamp set that is in the new Occasions Mini Catalog. I used the Rock and Roll technique on the large purple flowers (ink them in Lavendar Lace and then roll the edges of the stamp in Elegant Eggplant for the lighter to darker effect). I also used Summer Sun ink and cardstock. The greeting is mounted inside the card and the window is punched through the front with the modern label punch. I got the polka dots on the card base by using the new perfect polka dots impressions folder for my Big Shot that is also in the Occasions Mini Catalog.
