Forever Friends …

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Today is a cute -n- simple card created with the Floral Affection Embossing Folder and the “Better Together stamp set, choosing the “forever friends” stamp.

The color pallet for this card is Crumb Cake and Early Espresso.

The flower we used for this card has been discontinued but many of my club stampers have this one, so I decided to us it. Miss all the little flower punches!

Each little flower is embellished with one of our Pearls – it adds such a nice touch.

Monday’s can be tough so we’re keepin’ it simple and wishing you a simple and joyful day.

Thanks for stopping by ~

Better Together with Swirly Bird!

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

I hope this Saturday finds you well. It’s a bit warm here in Wisconsin – hitting in the 90’s with some of that fine humidity! It appears summer is right around the corner and I know some of you have been waiting for this!

Speaking of summer, I have a cute card for you that fits right in! Picture a warm summer day sailing across the cool waters …

I created this card with the absolutely “fun to play with” Swirly Bird stamp set and Swirly Scribbles Thinlets Bundle! With the 4th of July right around the corner and “blue” such a nautical color – I chose the new “Dapper Denim” and teamed it up with Cherry Cobbler and Whisper White.

The greeting and verse used on the card come from the very versatile stamp set, Better Together. I am using this stamp set for both of the cards shown today. You can also see a variety of the words used in this prior post – CLICK HERE to view.

 

My second card was cased from another demonstrator, but I turned it around and added my won touch. Isn’t that what we all do? The catalog is your first reference for card samples 🙂

On this card I used the swirly from the framelits and the flowers and dots from the stamp set. This card highlights the new “Flirty Flamingo”. I teamed it with Smokey Slate, Whisper White and the elegant Silver Foil.

The silver swirl draws your eye to the greeting “Just a Note” which is anchored with the cute little bow made out of the new “Flirty Flamingo” Ruched Ribbon. The rhinestones really tie the card together with that little touch of bling.

We brought the stamped patterns from the card fronts, and repeated on the inside of the card and on the envelopes! Just ties it all together so nicely.Both of these cards were created for my June Technique Stamping Clubs … we are now done for the year but will be starting up again in September.
