Wild Greetings

 

With the 'Wild & Sweet' stamp set... I just knew I had to have it! I love raccoons, my best friend loves koalas and my aunt loves pandas! What a combo in this set! I fell in love with it immediately.

Since each stamp has that one image on it, I looked to Pinterest to dress my card up a bit, and I found Chris' card here! 

The striped DSP (Designer Series Paper) is called 'Petal Passion'.

I added a sprig of leaves on my card (similar to what Chris did, but only because I smudged the stamped image of the Panda and needed to cover that space. Clever, I know!

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.

Beautifully Layered

 

LeeAnn Greff's card was so elegant and stunning... I just knew I had to create one of my own. Thanks LeeAnn for your inspiration! I chose to use the colors that were in Tracy and Dan's wedding gold/red/white. Such a beautiful color combination during the Christmas season! As the wedding invitations back when they got married used snowflakes... I used the Wintry 3D Embossing Folder in the background! I know Tracy will LOVE all the little touches to highlight their wedding 9 years ago!

Magical Snowman

 

I fell in love with the simplicity and clever die organization in Wanda Pettijohn's card, so I created one for myself. I did change a few things to make it my own (and so I wouldn't need to add an additional piece within the window!

From Genevieve Ko's card... I was inspired to create my own card... making a dramatic color combo for my brother-in-law for his birthday. 

I paired Basic Black with Parakeet Party. The Parakeet Party really stands out on the Black background. I felt the background needed some dimension, so I embossed them with the Fern 3D folder.

Twinkle Birthday

 

When I first purchased the 'Stellar Birthday' and its coordinating 'Give It A Whirl' dies I thought it'd be cute for the little nieces that I have. Wow! After I got this card completed... I thought, you could definitely use the dies for older adults as well with different stamps for the 'boxes'! I'm so happy with this purchase!

Although, it did take time to assemble and find a brad. LOL! It's so worth it in the end though! My little niece will get a kick out of it... cuz she loves the peek-a-boo books. It's perfect!

I used the retired 'Twinkle Twinkle' DSP - as I said before - it's perfect!

I also added a Wink of Stella to all the stars to make them shine.

Thanks for checking this out!
