I didn't know what else to call this... I am having fun with my Simply Scored tool! I made these cute cards for my group swap this month. It was fun and pretty easy! Enjoy!

This has to be one of my all time favorite cards fr om convention this year. It really POPS in person! The background is embossed...both dry and heat! I will be demoing this card at an upcoming technique class in September.....wanna come? This card and more can be yours.......:)

When I saw this set in the catalog, I was not impressed. It just didn't do anything for me. That being said,...after seeing all the samples at convention I had to buy it! I really like this card by Sharon Skelton. I love Blue and Brown together! Add a little bling and..what's not to love! The white square is embossed with the polka dot embossing folder. I was going to case it and post my version but....her card is just perfect! (I may case it anyway! ) Thanks for sharing Sharon.

When I make a card I like, I like to make more than one. I really liked the card I showed yesterday, but a couple of the elements were retired Stampin' Up! items. I made this one using all current ingredients. Again, the same butterfly with the tree and 'swinger', but this time no rosette. I also left the tag off since that is not a Stampin' Up! item. Instead of sponging with espresso and blush, this card has suede and bashful blue. I think it turned out pretty cute. Enjoy!

I was in a nostalgic mood the other day. I was looking through my stamps and came across this Forever Young set. I love the tree and the feeling of days gone by it gives me. I really like how this card turned out. It makes me remember days of carefree youth swinging on my grandmothers swing out back. I used vanilla cardstock for my butterfly and word base. The tag in the background is an actual premade tag from the local craft store. ( I have hundreds...don't ask...) I sponged it with espresso ink and stamped the brocade image from the Daring Adventure set. It turned out a bit bold and smeared so I put my Aqua painter to the task and really smeared it around. Hey, if you can't beat it, join it, right? My favorite DSP is in the background of course, heavily sponged as well. I added some vanilla seam binding through the hole in the tag and then tied the original tag string around that. Pearls and a fabric rosette finish it all off. Does it give you the same feeling? Let'...

Does this stamped image look familiar? yes, it is the same as yesterday. I really like it. But, again, I am missing the razzleberry ribbon. Did you send in your request yet to Stampin' Up! I absolutely love this DSP! It is from the Spice Cake collection....coming out in September. It is SUPER yummy and has fabric to coordinate! Schedule a workshop and I will bring it to entice you!

This stamp is one they gave us at convention. Exclusive! Gotta love that! I think it is cute and I love the saying, "don't go through life, grow through life." Words of wisdom for sure. I stamped the image with Old Olive and then used an aqua painter to add some color to the flowers, leaves, and butterflies. Not to bold....I just wanted a bit of interest on there. The card base is Soft Suede with a strip of old olive at the bottom and a matte of Rich Razzleberry under the image. Did you know Stampin' Up! doesn't have any Razzleberry polka dot ribbon? I was very upset frankly. I think we should all request that TODAY! lol I used some vanilla seam binding instead and it works for me. The background image is the large Good Works stamp stamped with Soft Suede. My downline may be seeing some of these cards.....its prize week!
