86- Iridescent Ice Card


This was the first of the cards we did at the Sweet Shapes stamp class. I wanted everyone to do some two-step stamping and use the iridescent ice embossing powder. This is also the first chance I've had to use the textured wild wasabi paper- I definitely need more textured paper because I love the final effect.

Recipe:

Stamp set: Sweet Shapes

Ink: Wild Wasabi, basic black, cameo coral, barely banana, apricot appeal

Paper: textured Wild Wasabi, cameo coral, basic black, whisper white

Accessories: Iridescent ice embossing powder, versamark, black gingham ribbon

85- Magic Card




I learned how to do this magic card when I was at the conference in London. I made this for Becca's birthday because I wanted to make her a different type of card. It's actually pretty easy- you just have to have the scorer on your paper cutter

Recipe:

Stamp Set: Eat cake

Ink: Yo-yo yellow, pink passion

Paper: Tempting turquoise, whisper white, yo-yo yellow, pink passion

Accessories: wheel, versamark, corner rounder

84- Baroque Glossy Card


This was my first time using the glossy white paper. While I liked it and will probably use it again it is important to note that it takes a long time for the ink to dry- I learned that the hard way!

Recipe:

Ink: elegant eggplant, certainly celery

Stamp set: baroque motifs

Paper: glossy white, certainly celery, elegant eggplant

Accessories: certainly celery ribbon, scallop punch, circle punch, double rectangle punch

83- Wonderful You Chocolate Card


This is a nice gender neutral card that I did at the demonstrator night.

Recipe:

Paper: Very vanilla, close to cocoa, chocolate chip

Ink: Close to cocoa, chocolate chip

Stamp set: Wonderful you

Accessories: wheel, ticket corner punch, chocolate chip grosgrain ribbon

82- Baby Shaker Card


I absolutely love this card- I've also made it in pink. It's just the perfect baby card.

Recipe:

Ink: Basic black, bashful blue, yo-yo yellow, only orange

Paper: Barely banana, bashful blue, whisper white

Accessories: Whimsy wheel, so saffron brad, duckie wheel, bashful blue ribbon, acetate, 1 3/4" square punch, corner rounder punch, blue glitter, sticky strip

81- Adorable Fruit Card


Here is my adorable fruit card- I love the tart and tangy set so much. I also bought the white gel pen specifically to do this card. I also used the sponge to put the yellow on the oranges.

80- Award Winning Card



I went to a demonstrator night on Monday where we each had to bring one card for everyone to make. The criteria were that the card had to be demonstratable to clients and contain at least one WOW factor. I asked some friends which of my cards I should make and they suggested this one. And I WON!!! Best card for being most demonstratable...and pretty! I won a wheel and a case for my wheels- so exciting!!
