Pssst...

                         

Here is a card that I made for my upline's monthly meeting swap.  I had to make 15 of these and I'm very happy with how they turned out.  The flower is from Happy Watercolor, a new set in the 2014 Occasions catalog.  I stamped it onto a 4 x 4 piece of Watercolor Wonder DSP and cut it out with snips.  Then I ran the remaining piece of DSP through the Decorative Dots embossing folder before adhering it to my card front.  When you cover that with the top layer, you'd never know there was a flower-shaped hole in it!  Here is the inside in case you were interested:

I hope you like my card!  Connie

Hello

I signed up for a swap that was based on Sketch SC469 on Splitcoast stampers.  The sketch begged for a doily in place of the large circle. I used several new products on this card including the Fresh Prints DSP stack for the background, Simple Stems stamp set for my flowers and Simply Celebrate for the sentiment.  I used the Framelits from the Secret Garden to cut out my flowers and leaves and the paper for the leaves is from the Quatrafancy DSP.  I hope you like my card.  Connie

Make A Wish

This card is a catalog case, or actually a SAB flyer case.  On page 15 of the 2014 SAB flyer, there is a card that looks remarkably similar except the stamp used is different.  The DSP and card stock colors are the same.  I used the same embossing folder and edgelit.  However, I used a stamp from the Perfect Pennants stamp set for my card.  I'll be needing to build up my birthday card stash for the new year and this is a good start!  I hope you like my card.

Coastal Christmas

This card is based on the Paper Craft Crew Card Sketch 71(PCCCS071).  I wanted to use my new Fresh Prints paper from the 2014 Occasions catalog, but I'm also still thinking Christmas.  I decided to make this card for my husband using the 3.5 x 5 note cards. The sentiment comes from Christmas Messages, one of the best sentiment stamp sets I've ever seen.  The tag is left over from the Holiday Catalog's Real Red Goodie Gear Simply Created Kit.  I don't own the Chevron Border Punch, but it only took a few clips with my snips to turn that Coastal Cabana card stock into a fun adornment.  Three Coastal Cabana Boutique Details finish the sketch.  I hope you like my card.

Petal Parade Thanks

My 2014 Occasions catalog purchases arrived last night at 9:00 PM after I had been stalking the UPS man all day long.  First thing this morning I assembled the stamp sets and I couldn't wait to put together my first card.  This is a loose case of a card by Justin Krieger.  I copied his idea to punch out the flowers instead of trying to cut them exactly.  The DSP is called Sweet Sorbet and the flower stamps are called Petal Parade and both of those will be available as Sale-A-Bration freebies between January 28th and March 31st next year.  The sentiment is from the Occasions catalog, called Simply Celebrate.  I hope you like my card!

Be Merry!

One of my November swaps was to make a pocket card.  I really didn't know what that meant but one of the members directed me to Splitcoast Stampers.  They had a good tutorial on pocket cards. This one is called a Criss Cross Card. I love how all the Stampin' Up products coordinate so well.  It makes me look good every time!  I hope you like my card!

Fun Christmas

I made this card for a swap group that I am in.  It was based on a sketch by Frances A. Sylvia.  I used several pieces of Winter Frost DSP and the stamp is from Christmas Messages.  I love the sparkle added by the strip of glimmer paper and the Frosted Finishes embellishment.  I hope you like my card.
