My card for the day ....

Here is yet another card i made using the new in colors
from Stampin' Up!©

I used soft suede cardstock as the background, then added bermuda bay, dusty durango and crushed curry. The stamp set is Peace Within. I love cats and orchids so this stamp set is right up my alley. It also has a beautiful basket of flowers and another sentiment stamp. The sentiment on this card reads, "Everyday holds the possibility of a miracle. ~ Elizabeth David." This is a great any occassion card!

In Colors - just can't get enough of them!!!!!

Oh how I love these new In Colors from Stampin' Up!© I really cannot get enough of them! Here is a great friend card using the Designer Series Paper - Kaleidoscope and Melon Mambo and Bermuda Bay cardstock. The stamp is from the Full of Life set. I used watercolor pencils to colorize this stamp and then picked up the Melon Mambo ink with my aqua pen and used it like chalking around the edges of the white paper.


The card below was made using paper from the Designer Series Papers - Razzleberry Lemonade and the cardstock is from the new In Colors line. Can't remember the stamp set name for the Thanks a Bunch, but i love it! The butterfly is from the Dream du Jour set. They are both Stampin' Up!©.

The new "In Colors "

The new "in colors" from Stampin' Up!© are great! I paired them with the Razzleberry Lemonade designer series papers and made this card. I found one on Splitcoast Stampers made by Janet Marks and loved it so much that I had to scraplift it. Here it is (my version):

Celebrate Freedom!

I made this card to give to my Mother-in-Law for inviting us to celebrate July 4th with her at her timeshare on the beach. Every year a group of people go to see her and everyone brings food and drinks and we all enjoy ourselves immensely, but it seems that no one ever gives her a card. Last year I started a scrapbook which I will continue this year, but I wanted to give her a card also (and, of course, it can go into the scrapbook too). I made the card using the Stand & Salute cartridge, cutting the star and bursts and the liberty bell. The bell is popped off of the card using the cut out section. I cut the card and liberty bell at once using the card feature, then added the red paper with the star and bursts cutouts and then popped the bell on top, chalked and put Stickles everything and then put red, white and blue paper on the inside with Thank You. I like how it turned out. It is much prettier in person ... the scanner just cannot capture the sparkle or colors well for some reason. Thanks for looking!
