Fresh Vintage

Happy St. Patricks Day! Had fun making the kids green vanilla steamers this morning along with cinnamon rolls with green frosting - yum!
This is a card we are doing tomorrow at a stamp class. I love it because it is so clean and simple yet elegant too. And I love that you can use any color and ribbon you have on hand. I am letting the gals pick between cherry cobbler and lucky limeade with whisper white. These two colors really seem to pop on this card. The flower on the card is from the Fresh Vintage sale-a-bration set. The sentiment is from my favorite teeny tiny wishes set out of the catalog. Enjoy the day! This card was CASE'd from Dawn Olchefske.

Spring Bouquet

I made this cute bouquet today to put on the table at the stamp class I am having this weekend. Very easy to make! I used the new Mixed Bunch set and punch which are in the Occasions mini. I attached the flowers to some wood skewers I had and stuck them in a jar of jelly beans. The colors used on the flowers are So Saffron, Wild Wasabi, Perfect Plum, Marina Mist, and Rose Red.

Just Believe

Well what a gorgeous Sunday afternoon here in the Pacific NW! Nice to not have it gray and rainy outside. This is a card I copied right out of the Idea book and catalog on page 109. This set is called Just Believe and it is one of my favorites. I used Daffodil Delight, Pool Party, and Crumb cake cardstock. The butterflies were made using my Bigshot and the Beautiful wings Embosslits Die. I added the pearls in the center of the butterfly to give it a little pop. Just a nice card to have on hand that can be used for many different reasons. Hope you all have a wonderful Sunday!

Lucky Limeade square card

Good morning! It actually snowed a tad bit here.....but it will all be gone within the hour I'm sure. The kids have not had a single snow day this year. Oh well!
I love how this card turned out. I don't make 4 1/4 by 4 1/4 cards very often but I like how they look. I used paper from the Berry Blossoms DSP pack and mounted it on Lucky Limeade card stock. I also used a piece of Calypso Coral and ran it thru my Bigshot with the Lattice embossing folder. The flower on front is from the Hostess set Posy Punch. I finished it off with a Lucky Limeade brad from the In-color set. Hope you have a great day!
