Card for my Hostesses

Here is one of the cards I made for the sweet ladies that have been in a stamp club with me during the 2011-2012 SU catalog year. Each one of them also received the Fancy Fan Embossing folder as my "thank you" gift for their business with me. I was going to add a "thank you " to the outside of the card....but decided it looked good just as is, and left the thank you sentiment for the inside. : )

I used the awesome Comfort Cafe designer series paper and cut it with the Adorning Accents Edgelit. I then did the same with the Cajun Craze card stock strip behind it. I then used the new Essentials Paper-piercing mat to add the paper piercing around the edges. The Mixed Bunch Petal was snipped to give it more dimension.

I then added an Early Espresso twine bow along with a glimmer brad for the center of the flower.

Below you can see the inside of the card. As you can see, I almost forgot to take a picture of the cards before I sealed them up, but remembered in time before the last one was sealed up. : )

Thank you all so much!!!! Annette

Impressions a Bloom for Sunday Stamps!

Happy Sunday! Right now I am knee deep in making decorations for my daughter's upcoming baby shower next weekend and the theme is Winnie the Pooh! lol :) I am going to be a grandma for the first time and all I can say is that I am really is exciting!

The Impressions a Bloom Bundle is one of my newest favorite sets and I really have not had time to create with all of the very many different ways you can with this set. Here's my 2nd go. Soft pastel colors? Count me in! And these petals exemplify the softness you can achieve with the Impressions a Bloom . For these flowers, I stamped 2 in Peach Pie ink followed by Timid Tiger ink. The 3rd flower was stamped using Fresh Freesia ink. I first stamped off onto scratch paper and then used full strength for the detailed/outline stamp. Next, I d...

Perfectly Pears for Sunday Stamps!

It's Sunday and today starts another new challenge at Sunday Stamps! Yahoo! I love card challenges because it makes you think outside the box and at the same time gives you something to create with whether it be a color challenge or a sketch challenge. For this weeks creation, I focused on the new Online Exclusive Bundle called Perfectly Pears . This bundle is part of a suite and the products in the suite are gorgeous. For this particular creation, I focused on the adorable set of pears and a few of the coordinating dies. I stamped the outline set of pears image using Pecan Pie ink and then stamped the solid part of the pear image using Darling Duckling ink which also had some Timid Tiger ink sponged onto it as well. I then took my Darling Duckling and my Timid Tiger Stampin' Blends and outlined some of the edges of the pears to add more depth to each Pear. Next, I colored the leaves and stem using Old Olive, Mossy Meadow and Pecan Pie Stampin' Blends...
