For You

Kathy liked this card format as the cover length is not the same length as the back. I like it also, it gives you a chance to use another patterned paper! The stamp set is Great Friend & is in the Occassions Mini Catalog. We also used Naturals White, So Saffron, Kiwi Kiss & Whisper White CS, So Saffron, Kiwi Kiss & Going Gray Ink, the ribbon Kiwi Kiss/Very Vanilla Satin.

You Only Live Once

I spent Monday with my friend Kathy stamping in her studio, which is located abover her garage. It was such a great day. The weather was nice, there was a breeze, flowers were in bloom & we were stamping!

We made several cards with the 5th Avenue Floral stamp set. In this project, we used Urban Oasis DSP, Kraft, Kiwi Kiss, & Baja Breeze cs, Basic Black Ink, Valet Ribbon Originals, Filigree Designer Brads, Dimensionals.

Enjoy. Thanks for stopping by.

This is such a striking card! Baja Breeze, Basic Black, & Kiwi Kiss CS, Urban Oasis DSP, Not Quite Navy Marker, Large & Small Oval Punches. The marker was used on the flowers to create some depth & interest to them. For the ovals, if you start by punching the small oval first, then taking the large oval & centering it over the punched image, you can easily create this look! Have fun.

Wow Flowers #7

Besides the kit, the only thing I added was buttons.

Everything

Such an elegant card!

Wow Flowers #6

Looking for something more to add to your cards? This one should do it! I've layered DSP onto CS and the stamped images are behind another layer of CS with some Brads attached and the Spiral Punch to decaorate. The greeting is stamped on Very Vanilla, punched with the Word Window punch and layered on Perfect Plum CS punched from the Large Oval Punch. Organdy ribbon to add a touch of softness. For the flowers, I colored them with our Stampin Write Markers.

Merry Christmas

Oops! I forgot to post the rest of the projects using Always. By changing the colors to Riding Hood Red & Old Olive, you have a beautiful Christmas card. This card comes with a "pocket."

Wow Flowers #5

A border made of DSP & CS, a Die-Cut Element with dimension added to it with circle punch and a brad, a greeting, and this card is good to go.

Wow Flowers #4

I believe in floral design, you will find a repetition of odd flowers. That also applies to card making & scrapbooking. Here there are 3 elements. I used SU Background Dotted Stamp, So Saffron Button, & an Ice Circle Rhinestone Brad for some bling! Punches used were Scalloped Circle, 1-3/8" & 1-1/4" & 1" Circle.
