I've saved this LOVE card since when the 'Love Cats' stamp set had debuted. I finally decided to try my hand at creating this lovely card. I used the Large Letters dies instead of the ones used in this lovely card shown here. Thanks so much for your inspiration!

Serene Scenes Kit

 

These cards were all created using the 'Serene Scenes Kit' from Stampin' Up! I chose to change up the sentiment as I needed more birthday cards than Father's Day cards/ Congratulations cards.

I used different birthday sentiments from 'Year of Flowers', 'Wild Bunch', 'Notes of Spring' and a sympathy sentiment from 'Phrases & Frames'.

Thanks for taking a look!

Home Essentials

 

Such a lovely card I found online! I thought it was perfect for a housewarming card! I utilized the stamps and dies that I had.

The sentiment is from the 'Service Essentials' stamp set.

The dies for the house are from the 'Home Together' dies.

I used the 'Tasteful Labels' dies for the grounding background piece and the 'Rustic Check' embossing folder for the background.

The leaf is a punch.

Unbounded Ink

 

This stamp, the only one in the 'Inked Floret' set, stumped me for a bit. I wasn't sure how I'd use it, so I set it aside to figure out later. Well today was the day to play with it! I love how this turned out... Hope you do too. Thanks for taking a closer look. I added Wink of Stella to the petals to make them shine... even though you cannot see the beauty in this photo.

When I saw Mary Knabe's card... I knew I needed to create one for myself. Thanks for your inspiration Mary! I changed a few things to make the card my own, but used her layout too!  I added a Wink of Stella to the heart branch to make it shine.

Relaxing Sunset

 

As a demonstrator for Stampin' Up! we get early access to new products... or we usually do! However, when the 'Sunset Coast' stamp set with its coordinating dies came out... it was on backorder for me. (I wasn't quick enough to snag it!). I've loved all the designs so far with all of them. So, now I have this beautiful set. I'm sure you will see plenty of cards made by me in the future. This set paired with the 'Scenic Coast' DSP are perfect together!

I added Wink of Stella to the lighthouse to make it shine!

Thanks for looking!

I so love this stamp set 'Pretty Kitty'. Its very versatile. I paired it with the 'Rings of Love' DSP (Designer Series Paper)... so I picked up the colors within the paper to color the stamped image.

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

The banner and heart die is from the Hearts and Hugs die set.

Happy Botanicals

 

Using the 'Botanicals Expressions' die-cut for the first time and I'm in love with this die. I wish the coordinating stamp set had a 'Happy Birthday' sentiment, but the ones that it came with will be used someday. I paired the die-cut with the 'Happiness Abounds' stamp set and also with the 'True Blue Florals' DSP.

The sentiment die-cut is from the 'Changing Leaves' die set.
