Beautiful Bunch Note Card

This is a sweet and simple note card I used for one of my swaps.  I think square cards are so fun to make and this one is 4 1/4" square.  The flowers are stamped in Delightful Dijon ink and are from the Beautiful Bunch stamp set.  I punched them out using the Fun Flower Punch and popped them up with some Dimensionals.  The sentiment is from the Best Thoughts host set on page 180 of the Annual Catalog, and the bold strip of color is a piece of English Garden Designer Series Paper.  I thought it did a great job of adding a little more effect and dimension to the card.  Mossy Meadow is such a rich color!  Doesn't it just have an "end of summer" feel to it?

I look forward to your comments!

You've Got This

Another gorgeous card made with the new 2015 stamp set You've Got This!  This sample incorporates embossing with clear embossing powder, layering, and sponging to create a new color.  I used Tempting Turquoise cardstock where I stamped the flowers from host set Best Thoughts and sponged Island Indigo ink in the center of the the embossed flowers, extending a little outside the flower, but leaving just a hint of the Tempting Turquoise showing in between the flowers.  Adding a splash of sparkle with the 1/8" Silver Ribbon really added impact.

Embossing leaves from Choose Happiness on the black layer created a little depth and interest on the right to balance out the look.

A combination of Circles Framelits and the 2" Circle Punch gave the sentiment just the right depth and helps to draw your eye directly to it.

This is just one of the cards we made at Stamp Club this month.  If you are interested in joining us, contact me for more information.  I have spots available in O'Fallon and Union, Missouri.
