371- Black Floral Shower Card

One of my favorite ladies is getting married and this is the card that I made for her shower. This card matches the lingerie that I bought her- it is some black climbing flowers on a shiny white background. I wanted to keep it simple and elegant to match the bride.

Not only was there pressure to make a great card for Marni because it was her shower but also she's a fellow stamper. So I tried to add details to the card to give it depth and some added pizzazz without losing it's simplicity

First I did some two step stamping with white craft ink to give it a shadow. I also sponged white craft ink in a oval punch out around the sentiment to frame it.

Recipe:

Stamps: Eastern blooms, for the bride

Paper: Whisper White, Basic Black, Shimmery White

Ink: Basic Black, white craft ink

Accessories: Basic black ribbon, oval punch

361- Bouncing Brayer Easel Card

I made this birthday card for a coworker. She always wants cards that are shiny and bright. So I used bold bright colours, glossy paper and dazzling diamonds. I hope she likes it!

I decided to use techniques on this card- bouncing brayer and the fold was an easel card. I made the card bigger than normal- it is a 5 1/2" square card.

Recipe:

Stamps: short and sweet, it's your birthday, eastern blooms

Paper: Melon Mambo, Yoyo yellow, glossy white, whisper white

Ink: Melon Mambo, yoyo yellow, only orange, pink passion, orchid opulence, lovely lilac, tempting turquoise

Accessories: 1/2" melon mambo grosgrain ribbon, ticket corner punch, petals a plenty embossing folder, big shot, scallop oval punch, small and large oval punches, dazzling diamonds, sticky strip

Eastern Blooms Class Planner

Here is my new class planner using the Eastern Blooms stamp set and Bold Brights paper to make 4 great Thank You cards.

160- Pacific Eastern Blooms Card

The layout for this card was a challenge on splitcoast. It was also a perfect excuse for me to use my new Eastern blooms set. I wanted to make a nice simple blank card for one of my aunts in her favorite colour. In retrospect it needs a bit more of a wow factor- maybe a ribbon- but it's still nice
