Beautifully Layered

 

LeeAnn Greff's card was so elegant and stunning... I just knew I had to create one of my own. Thanks LeeAnn for your inspiration! I chose to use the colors that were in Tracy and Dan's wedding gold/red/white. Such a beautiful color combination during the Christmas season! As the wedding invitations back when they got married used snowflakes... I used the Wintry 3D Embossing Folder in the background! I know Tracy will LOVE all the little touches to highlight their wedding 9 years ago!

Thanks for taking a closer look!

Magical Snowman

 

I fell in love with the simplicity and clever die organization in Wanda Pettijohn's card, so I created one for myself. I did change a few things to make it my own (and so I wouldn't need to add an additional piece within the window!

Thanks Wanda for your creativity!

Painted Brew

 

Looking at Akiko's card... I just knew I had to create one for my brother. I used DSP (Designer Series Paper) that I had on hand instead of what she used. I added a 'Wink of Stella' to all the beverages and bottle to make them shine. Thanks Akiko for your inspiration!

Artful Parakeet

 

From Genevieve Ko's card... I was inspired to create my own card... making a dramatic color combo for my brother-in-law for his birthday. 

I paired Basic Black with Parakeet Party. The Parakeet Party really stands out on the Black background. I felt the background needed some dimension, so I embossed them with the Fern 3D folder.

Thanks for stopping by!

Stamp set - Artfully Layered

Ink - Memento

Twinkle Birthday

 

When I first purchased the 'Stellar Birthday' and its coordinating 'Give It A Whirl' dies I thought it'd be cute for the little nieces that I have. Wow! After I got this card completed... I thought, you could definitely use the dies for older adults as well with different stamps for the 'boxes'! I'm so happy with this purchase!

Although, it did take time to assemble and find a brad. LOL! It's so worth it in the end though! My little niece will get a kick out of it... cuz she loves the peek-a-boo books. It's perfect!

I used the retired 'Twinkle Twinkle' DSP - as I said before - it's perfect!

I also added a Wink of Stella to all the stars to make them shine.

Thanks for checking this out!
