Cat Friends

 

For my Father-in-law (Pop)... he loves his black kitty! Such a cute stamp set the 'Love Cats' is!

I chose the colors Pacific Point and Basic White and Basic Black. Although, there is no Pacific Point Stampin' Blends marker.... I used the light Night of Navy one instead. I added a Wink of Stella to the heart to make it shine!

Thanks for taking a look!

Calming Flora

 

Such a lovely card from Lesley's Stampin' Ground (on her website).  I knew I had to create one of my own. Here, I used the sentiment from 'Calming Camellia' stamp set and the new 'Two-Tone Flora' stamp set with it's coordinating dies. Although, I do have to say that I'm a bit disappointed with the huge die background piece... it's way to big for the 5.5 x 4.25 cards that I made... so I had to adjust my card size to 5.75 x 4.25. I'd still like to have more of the card base color showing around the edges of my cards.

I chose the colors Starry Sky, Highland Heather and So Saffron with Old Olive. I stamped the darker image first. With the Two-tone stamping, with the lighter stamped image, I inked the stamp and stamped on a piece of paper before stamping on my project. Beautiful effect!

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

Thanks for taking a peek!

Stitched Happiness

 

The new 'Happiness Abounds' stamp set and it's coordinating dies 'Blossoming Happiness' do not disappoint. There are sentiments along with many different flowers to coordinate with whatever you choose to create.

The background piece die cut was interesting to me, and thought it could be used as a lattice type background.

Autumn Punch

 

I just love the Fern 3D embossing folder! It really makes a dramatic background for any card. I paired it with the 'Fond of Autumn' stamp set... to create a fall/winter card. More winter for me as this card is a January card! lol  I used the sentiment from 'Punch Party' stamp set.

Snowfall Greetings

 

I saw a similar card on Pinterest using Crumb Cake and White and a tag. I thought I'd try my hand at making one with the stamps, dies, embossing folders that I had. Makes for an elegant card, in my opinion.

The sentiment is from the 'Go To Greetings' stamp set.

The background is from the Wintry 3D embossing folder set. (I just ran it through my Stampin' Cut and Emboss Machine twice.)

The 'Tag' is from the 'Seasonal Labels' dies. I just punched a hole in the top center to make it look like a tag.

I used Wink of Stella on the snowflakes to make them shine.
