Waterfront Bouquet

I just LOVE this 'Waterfront' stamp set! Such beautiful cards can be created with it! When I saw Jenny Engelke's card (bottom).... I just had to try a sunset one for myself. I changed a few things to make the card my own.

I used a scrap piece of paper... and used the Deco Labels Framelit to create the frame for my sponging.

This card is for my hubby! Happy Birthday Hon! We both LOVE sunsets, so this card is perfect for him! (As he is so perfect for me!). HUGS!

Thanks for taking a peek!

Birthday Friend

My niece loves kitties.... so what could be more adorable than a kitty card!  When the new Stampin' Up! catalog came out with the Foxy Friends and Fox Builder Punch came out, I just knew I had to get them. So much diversity in this stamp set.  Although, I do have to say.... it's difficult to decide which stamp to use with what...and the Fox Punch doesn't align with any stamp, so you need to punch several pieces of paper to just get the whole animal. (This was my first card, so hopefully putting together the animals will get easier the more I work with them).

I utilized a few different products on this card. The Designer Series Paper is from "It's My Party" paper stack. I used the Deco Labels Framelits....as well as the Bunch of Banners Framelits. The sentiment stamps are from Banners for You and Birthday Banners stamp sets.

Cupcakes

I decided to play with the Sprinkles of Life stamp set along with a layout I found on Pinterest. For each card base I used 4.25x8.5...and folded in half (this way I could wrap the ribbon around the card with the ends falling behind the Deco Labels Framelits.

I embossed only the top portion of the card base with the Decorative Dots TIEF (Texture Impressions Embossing Folder), and then placed a piece of black or pink piece to the bottom portion of the base. I then wrapped the ribbon around the seam of the papers -- leaving the ends in the front, so that the framelit shape would cover the ends.

I die-cut the Deco Labels Framelits and stamped the bottom portion of the cupcake directly on the piece along with the sentiment. I attached the framelit to the card base.

I stamped the top portion of the cupcake onto colored cardstock and used the Tree Builder Punch to punch out the frosting. I used dimensionals to attach the frosting to the cupcake to make it pop.

I added the rhinestones to the sides...as I felt that the label was too plain.... now I'm thinking the label is too big. What are your thoughts?

Watercolor Marlin

This masculine card came together so easily... I was so happy with the results! (I usually struggle making masculine cards). I started by using a card base from the Watercolor Wishes Kit. Then, I stamped the marlin on to white cardstock and die-cut it with the Deco Labels Framelits. After coloring in the marlin with the Marina Mist marker and my blender pen... I matted the piece with Marina Mist cardstock.  I used dimensionals to 'pop' the piece on the card base.

Wonder Gardens

I've been trying to utilize my pack of Botanical Gardens DSP (Designer Series Paper), and I'm so glad I decided to play with it.  I felt this paper (in particular) was very masculine, so wanted to create a card for our Uncle. Pairing it with the Cajun Craze cardstock... was perfect! I did fiddle with the card base color, but kept coming back to black. Hope it doesn't look too dark of a card.

I used the Deco Labels Framelits to die-cut the sentiment.

Sea Wishes

I usually have a hard time creating masculine cards, but today... I'd have to say -- it was so easy. I used a card base from the Watercolor Wishes Kit and the stamp sets from that set plus From land to Sea. 

I used the Circle and Deco Labels Framelits for my focal piece -- and used dimensionals to make it pop from the page.
