And here is today's card - simple and fun, using some brand new Designer Papers along with a funky flower. Keep Calm is from a brand new hostess set you can earn. There are some beautiful new sets that you'll want to use over and over again.

Just a Note

A little embossing, a little tuille, a button and  some pearls. This card was created using Twitterpated DSP, Basic Grey, Lucky Limeade and Baja Breeze.

I'm off to Canada for a few days to be with family and  to visit my sister's scrapbooking store, Scrap and Bean, in Edmonton, AB for the first time! Want to visit with me - click here! 

I'll be right back to creating and posting when I return.

Have fun stamping!

Easter Basket Card

A quick and easy basket card just in time for Easter with lots of dimension thanks to embossing. Gotta love that Big Shot! Paper eggs can easily be embossed with any design (well, short of Halloween!)  Embellish with ribbon and a paper flower!

Real eggs take on a vintage look with a little stamping in Sahara Sand. Easy ways to use your supplies for home decor.

Pool Party Colors

Happy Monday morning! 

This  wonderful little stamp set, "Send Me Soaring!, from the Occasions Mini catalog, was the stamp set I chose when asked to design a few projects for InkingEverythingWithBecky (have you checked it out yet?)

Well.... I keep picking it up and creating another card and then another card and then ...   I go to the mailbox and if there isn't a copy of the great magazine Stampin' Up! does just for it's demonstrators and they're showcasing "my" stamp set! So, of course I had to copy one of their cards  just to show you. (the one on the right - cute, huh?)

The other one  - all mine. Everytime I look at this Sweet Shop DSP I think of water so I knew somewhere along the line I had to come up with a little boat to float in it! So here it is along with a few how-to pics. Enjoy! 

Here is a close-up! I embossed the full sail with the Adorning Accents Hearts embossing folder and also embossed the "water" with the Adorning Accents Scallop embossing folder. Tuck it into the water and you're done!

To create the "boat" I used the Round Tab punch as shown. 

For the sail I used one complete triangle and one half triangle from the Petite Pennants punch.
