Sweet Autumn

 

For my handsome husband! Congrats to 22 years! Wow... has time flown by! Our love continues to grow. I love you so very much! Happy Anniversary!

Since we got married in the Fall... I thought a lovely sunset with leaves would be great as we walk in the parks many many times.

Love you Babe!

Seaside Palms

 

I wanted to utilize the 'Thoughtful Journey' DSP (Designer Series Paper) and thought that this sheet reflected an underwater seabed. So, I embossed 'Seashells' unto the front background.

I used the 'Seaside Wishes' coordinating set to create the shells. The "window" is from the 'Garden Gateway' die set.

Thanks for splashing in!

Unbounded Autumn

 

I love the Fall! I also love how this card turned out. Great for my Uncle's 75th birthday!

It took a bit of time to get the colors of the leaves to come out the way that I wanted with my Stampin' Blends... I used a combination of Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie and Cherry Cobber.

Beautiful Layers

 

When I saw Jaimie's card from 'Stamp It With Jaimie'... I just knew I had to create one for my sister and her husband for their anniversary. I changed a few things to make it my own, but wanted to give credit to Jaimie for her lovely inspiration and use of the new Neutrals DSP (Designer Series Paper).

Now, I did cut a bit off the Layers of Beauty stamped image, so that it would fit on my card with scissors.

I used Wink of Stella to make the petals shine.

Thanks for taking a closer look!

Stippled Layers

 

I loved the look of Chris Smith's card... it's elegant in its simplicity. I decided to try to create something similar... although... mine isn't monochromatic like Chris' is. Thanks for your inspiration!

The sentiment piece is from the 'Layers of Beauty' stamp set and cut out using the 'Unbounded Love' die set.

The bottom edge is from the 'Eden' die set.

The DSP is from the 'Softly Stippled' designer series paper pack.

Better Greetings

 

Another niece turning 21! Yikes... where has the time gone! All grown up now!

I chose a simple design of one cocktail instead of many this time... drink responsibly! 

I paired the 'Sip Sip Hooray' sentiment with the cocktail from 'Nothing's Better Than' stamp set. The top 'Happy Birthday' sentiment is from the 'Go To Greetings' stamp set.

I added a Wink of Stella to the cocktail to make it shine.

Gorgeous Love

 

Such a lovely layout and design from Narelle Farrugia!  The flowers are NOT a stamp.... it's part of the 'True Love' Designer Series Paper (DSP). Fun that you can fussy cut the image and then color them in!

I changed a few things to make the card my own, but wanted to give Narelle the credit for her inspiration! Thanks Narelle!

Biggest Tools

 

I liked the simplicity of Rachael Merrick's card with all the tools near the edge of the card. I chose to make a few changes to make the card my own. Thanks Rachael for your inspiration!

I used the 'Trusty Toolbox' Designer Series Paper and most of the tools were fussy cut... although, a few had the die-cuts from the 'Trusty Tools' die set.

Thanks for checking in!

Flowing Zinnia

 

I really like the layout on Angie Mckenzie's card. I wish I had the circle die-cut that she has in the picture though. I loosely created my card using hers for inspiration, so thanks Angie!

I chose the color combo - Misty Moonlight, Fresh Freesia and Blackberry Bliss along with the Granny Apple Green and Lemon Lime Twist. I used Wink of Stella to add some shine to the petals.

Beauty Party

 

Such a lovely card created by Sharon Burke! I chose 'Pretty In Pink' for my flower color and 'Soft Sea Foam' for my leaves. I added Wink of Stella to all the flowers to make them shine.

I used the sentiment from 'Punch Party' stamp set and change the direction of the banner and background vertical strips to horizontal. I also added the background 'Layered Florals' embossing folder to make the card my own. Thanks Sharon for your inspiration!

Spotlight on Love

 

A new HOME! My cousin purchased a new home and wanted to wish her well with it! As I have moved out a LONG time ago, I realize how much it takes to make a house a home... such a daunting task (many tasks), but I'm sure she's up to the challenge. Congratulations Jen!

The only stamp set used is from the 'Special Moments' set. The focal piece is from the 'Rings of Love' DSP (Designer Series Paper).

Thanks for tuning in!

Coney Island

 

I try and create a card that reminds me of the person I'm giving the card to. So, for my Nephew-in-law... his passion is RollerCoasters. Now, I don't have a rollercoaster stamp, so it's off to the computer to look for free clip art. I found this cute Amusement Park (Coney Island) online through PNGWing. I printed it out on Basic White cardstock and finished it the traditional way.

Thanks for taking a look!

Special Tools

 

I cannot take credit for this lovely card I made. The credit goes to Terri Gaines... what a fantastic way to utilize the 'Trusty Toolbox' DSP (Designer Series Paper). I love that the coordinating dies from the 'Trusty Tools' stamp set can be used on the 'Trusty Toolbox' DSP too! FUN! and so easy to create this card.

The DSP looks like a toolbox, so I (and Terri too) just used my Stampin' Trimmer to make a slit along the gray/red border... I kept the sides intact so I could adhere them to the background piece.

Thanks for taking a closer look!

Beautiful Happiness

 

I just fell in love with Alisa Tilsner's card... I just had to create one of my own. Now, I did make this card my own by using more die-cuts and background pieces than Alisa did. I may just create one exactly like Alisa's in the future - it's so pretty with the white background.... leaves the flowers the focal point for sure. Thanks Alisa for your inspiration!

I chose to use the color combo - Lemon Lolly, Peach Pie and Calypso Coral on the petals and Lemon Lime Twist and Granny Apple Green on the leaves for the masks. I added a Wink of Stella to the petals.
