Kitty Love

 

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.

Thanks for taking a peek!

Beautiful Swirl

 

I loved the layout of Stampin'Gala's card (found on Pinterest).... so I chose to use the same layout for my card. I wanted to use Flirty Flamingo as my "niece" (Best Friend's daughter) loves anything pink (my kinda gal).

I love how my background piece works with this card. It's the new 'Swirls of Magic' Embossing Folder. I can see where I'll be using this folder a lot in my cards!

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

Thanks for taking a closer look!

Gallery Greetings

 

I loved the layout for Nilka World's card, so I chose that for my own card. Loved the monochrome of red/pinks too. Thanks Nilka World for your inspiration!

I used the 'Gallery Blooms' stamp set for my focal piece and colored the flowers with Real Red, Melon Mambo and Pretty in Pink.  I used the Layering Squares dies.

The sentiment is from the 'Go To Greetings' stamp set and I used the 'Lovely Arrangements' dies to cut the sentiment out.

Thanks for taking a closer look!

Another perfect stamp set for my family! The 'Capturing Smiles' set is perfect for my niece, who is a photographer. So maybe possibilities with this set! Looking forward to sharing them with you! I loved Lynn's card so much... I just knew I needed to create one for myself.

Too Happy

 

Seeing Heather Potterton's card, I just knew I had to create one of my own for my niece's birthday. Thanks Heather for your vision using the 'Beautifully Happy' stamp set.

It was lovely to use this set, as you don't need to color in the flowers and leaves by hand. Yep, there is a stamp to color the image in! So this card was an easy one to complete.

Cat Greetings

 

My niece loves her cat 'Peaches' and so wanted to create a cat card for her. Upon looking through Pinterest, I came across Jacque Williams' cute card. Thanks for your inspiration Jacque.

I changed the colors and embossed the background to make the card my own, but wanted to share where my vision was inspired.

I used 'Wink of Stella' on the heart to make it shine.

Hibiscus Greetings

 

My Sister-in-law loves the color purple and has many hibiscus flowers in her yard in California. When I purchased this set, I thought of Hawaii and the trips we took there throughout the years. BUT... I realize, I can use them for his sister's cards too! Win-win!

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

Garden Greetings

 

Such a cute card from Lynn Dunn... I just knew I needed to create a similar card for my Sister-in-law. I wanted somewhat authentic hydrangea colors for my stamped image, so I blended 3 colors to create what you see here. Boho Blue, Fresh Freesia and Misty Moonlight.

I love the coordinated set of stamps, decorative masks (stencils) and die-cuts of the 'Thankful Garden' set -- it truly helps creating lovely cards. 

For the decorative masks... these are the colors I used:

Mask 1 - Boho Blue

Mask 2 - Fresh Freesia

Mask 3 - Misty Moonlight

Mask 4 - Old Olive

Mask 5 - Garden Green

Layered Greetings

 

Thanks to Wanda Pettijohn, I found the perfect card for my niece. Such a lovely feminine card in pinks! Love it! Thanks Wanda! I used her color combo of Bubble Bath, Petunia Pop and Berry Burst with Old Olive for the leaves. I added a Wink of Stella to the petals to make them shine.

Thanks for taking some time to look!

Journeys Gone

Such lovely cards made by Alejandra Gomez! I just knew I had to make one for myself to give to my Dad's wife who is recovering from surgery.

I chose to use the 'Go To Greetings' stamp set for the sentiment. The background is embossed with the 'Layered Leaves' folder. The papers are from the Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper.

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.
