Memorable Leaves

 

I just loved Julie Davison's card, I just had to make one for myself for my best friend.  She loves the color pink, so I changed my color scheme to match her colors. I also used the 'Layered Leaves' embossing folder for the background instead of what Julie used.

Thanks Julie for your inspiration!

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

Ice Skating Birthday

 

My niece is taking ice skating lessons and will have her birthday party at the ice skating rink. I didn't have a Stampin' Up stamp of a ice skates or an ice skater, so I went online and found this one on FreePik website. It's perfect for her! 

So, once I created it... I felt it needed more to the card, so I added the Melon Mambo ribbon detail.

Thanks for taking a look!

Wonderful Nature

 

I finally received my 'Spotlight On Nature' stamp set (it had been on backorder for so long)! I chose to re-create Karen Trelfa's card just with different colors and background embossing folder. Such a great card! Thanks Karen! I do wish the 'Spotlight on Nature' dies included one for the butterfly. I had to fussy cut it out.

I added a Wink of Stella to the petals and butterfly to make them shine.

I really loved the 'Changing Leaves' stamp set on the dark background from Stampin' Up!, so I had to create one for myself for my brother-in-law.

I decided not to have a sprayed background and used the Pinewood Planks Embossing Folder instead. I changed the sentiment for the one in 'Wildlife Wonder' stamp set.
