Changing Words

 



When I saw this card on Pinterest... I just knew I needed one for myself! Thanks to Stampin' and Scrappin' in GJ blog page and Pinterest for this beauty!
I used the new 'Basic Beige' cardstock and I love it!
I used the scissors on the Crushed Curry leaf... as the die set didn't have one for that leaf. It's wonderful to create great cards with the matching stamp set, die and embossing folders! 

Thanks for stopping by!

Scripted Blue

 


I started playing with the 'Beautiful Blues' kit... and I just love the intricate die-cut piece within in the kit. I wanted to create an anniversary card for my sister and her husband... and I felt it was perfect for them.
Such a simple yet elegant card, in my opinion. I added a sentiment from the 'Sweetly Scripted' stamp set and Silver & White Ribbon to finish it off.

Thanks for taking a bit of time to look!

Layers of Flowers

 



I must be on a peach/orange and brown kick... I'm loving this color combo. Here is Peach Pie with Pecan Pie (along with Pool Party, Granny Apple Green and Lemon Lolly).
I chose Patty Bennett's card for inspiration and changed a few things to make it my own. Thanks Patty!

I added a Wink of Stella to make the flowers shine.

Thanks for taking a closer look!

Darcy Sympathy

 

My neighbor's cat passed away. As I took care of him when my neighbor was away... it was a loss for both of us. He will be greatly missed.
I've made several pet sympathy cards over the years... but it seems this year is a rough one for many.
I designed this within My Memories Suite digital software and finished it the traditional way with papers and double sided sticky tape.

Thanks for taking a peek.

Sincere Florals

 

I loved the soft colors in Christy Gridley's card and the layout! I decided to go bolder with the colors as I wanted to brighten my friend's day. Thanks for your inspiration Christy!

I added a Wink of Stella to the petals to make them shine,

Lovely Garden

 


I wanted to try the technique of using the blending brushes on this lovely die-cut piece 'Gorgeous Garden' dies. I used the colors of Pretty Peacock, Old Olive and Blackberry Bliss and blended them into the cardstock. Next, I die-cut the intricate die and placed a piece of Basic White behind the card base. I love how it turned out.
I paired the die-cut piece with the 'Lifetime of Love' stamp set for the sentiment, but used the 'Stitched Nested Labels' dies instead of the coordinating ones.
I used a Non-SU ribbon to complete the card.

Thanks for taking a closer look!

Too Happy

 


Seeing Heather Potterton's card, I just knew I had to create one of my own for my niece's birthday. Thanks Heather for your vision using the 'Beautifully Happy' stamp set.

It was lovely to use this set, as you don't need to color in the flowers and leaves by hand. Yep, there is a stamp to color the image in! So this card was an easy one to complete.

Cat Greetings

 


My niece loves her cat 'Peaches' and so wanted to create a cat card for her. Upon looking through Pinterest, I came across Jacque Williams' cute card. Thanks for your inspiration Jacque.

I changed the colors and embossed the background to make the card my own, but wanted to share where my vision was inspired.

I used 'Wink of Stella' on the heart to make it shine.

Corner Flowers

 



Here is my take on Jay Soriano's card... Thanks for your inspiration Jay! I paired the 'Corner in Bloom' Stamp set with the 'Country Flowers' stamp set. I also used the 'Year of Flowers' stamp set for the sentiment.
My Color Combo is Gorgeous Grape, Old Olive and Daffodil Delight (although, the flowers are colored with the Highland Heather Stampin' Blends as there aren't markers in Gorgeous Grape). I added a 'Wink of Stella' the the leaves in the pot to to make them shine, along with the flower attached to the pot.

Thanks for taking a closer look!

Paradise Wishes

 


When I saw Gail's cards... I just fell in love with them. Each one is unique yet the color scheme is the same. Such beauty. Thanks Gail for your inspiration! I changed mine up a bit to make it my own, but wanted to share where I got the inspiration.
The DSP is from 'Thoughtful Designs' Specialty Paper pack... I felt it worked well with my Seaside card.
I used the sentiment from Paradise Palms with the 'Unbounded Love' dies.

My nieces needed a cute card for their friend's birthday party... gifting her with a 'Tea Time' get together with them in the future. I suggested a card in the shape of a tea bag. Such a cute idea for a birthday gift!
