Cardstock: Soft Sky, White

Ewwwwww....Glorious Green!

This is my card for yesterday's Inspiration Challenge which included a refrigeration that was none other than "Glorious Green," my LEAST favorite color. Well, I thought I would attempt a card any way, and I actually like how it turned out. I also used this bird embellishment from "Me and My Big Ideas." Supplies used:

Stamps: Just B from Stampin'UP!

Ink: Blue Bayou, Glorious Green

Cardstock: Glorious Green, White

Other Supplies: Embellishment Paper from Making Memories, Brads, Punch, Cuttlebug, D'Vine Swirl Embossing Folder, Embellishment from Me and My Big Ideas, Foam Dots

Paisley With Hattitude

I just had to ink up another new stamp set, Hattitude! I have a friend who is a member of the Red Hatters, and I thought it would be great to make her a gift card set using purple and red and this great stamp set. Oh, and I really love this new Paisley embossing folder! This card is also for the Ways To Use It Challenge on SCS to create a window card. Supplies used: Real Red, Elegant Eggplant, and White cardstock, Cuttlebug, Embossing Folder, Ribbon, Hattitude Stamp Set, buttons, and foam dots.

Live Your Dream

Here is my first card with my new "Live Your Dream" stamp set and my Swiss Dots embossing folder. I used Stampin'UP markers to ink the stamp, then embossed the dots later. By simply adding a ribbon and sentiment I got a simple but elegant note card to send to a friend. After all, it is National Friendship Week! Supplies used: Cuttlebug, Swiss Dots embossing folder, Stampin'UP markers, punches, ribbon, and foam dots.

Bloomin' Bouquet

This card was made using another image from the "Bloomin Beautiful" set. I'm trying to use some of the designer paper I've been stockpiling, and really like how this turned out with the striped paper. Supplies used: Ribbon, metal embellishment, Basic Black ink, Making Memories designer paper, foam dots, Stampin'UP markers, and White, Almost Amethyst, and Mellow Moss cardstock.

Bloomin' Beautiful...Again!

Wow, I love this Bloomin' Beautiful set! I changed the colors and used multiple layers of Mellow Moss cardstock for a very different look than my first card with this set. I tend to lean toward more simple designs that can be used to create gift sets. Supplies used: Ribbon, Cuttlebug, D'Vine Swirls embossing folder, Stampin'UP! markers, foam dots, and Basic Black ink.

Essence of Love

This is my first card attempt with the "Essence of Love" stamp set. I think it will look wonderful stamped in a single color as a silhouette, or colored with markers to look like a flower garden. I've been hoarding this wedding designer paper but decided it was too perfect for this image to hoard! I also loved this sentiment - not as formal or serious as most wedding sentiments. Supplies used: Ribbon, Stampin'UP markers, foam dots, Cuttlebug, D'Vine Swirls embossing folder, and white and Almost Amethyst cardstock.
