Good morning! Today I have a wedding card for you. Black and White is always perfect for a formal card. I added a little Pretty In Pink since it is a wedding card. The card base is Whisper White. Then I added another Whisper White layer that’s been embossed with the Perfect Polka Dots EF. And I tied Black Satin ribbon around this layer.
My focal piece is a Pretty In Pink square with the Rose from Fifth Avenue Floral. I stamped the rose with Versamark ink. Then heat embossed it with Black embossing powder. I finished it with a greeting from Teeny Tiny Wishes.
The inside has a greeting from God’s Blessings stamped is Basic Black. And I stamped the rose with Pretty In Pink in the lower right corner.
Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for stopping by!.

Today’s card is one that we created at Stamp Club last week. I used the Fifth Avenue Floral stamp set and the coordinating Manhattan Embossing Folder. We also tried the “spreading ink” technique on the rose. You can find the “Spreading Ink” details on Gretchen Barron’s website. The technique is really quick and easy, well except for the drying time. We dried our flowers with the heat tool.

Good morning! Today’s card is a bright and cheerful “Thinking of You” card. I used an elegant pink and gray color combination. I love the contrast of the warm pinks with the bit of cool gray and metal.

Today’s card is the kind we don’t like to make, but might be the most important. I needed a sympathy card for one of my best friends. I chose to make one featuring her favorite flower and favorite colors, hoping it will express all the things that I don’t have the words to say. (Wow, I expect a lot from a card, don’t I?!)
I chose the Fifth Avenue Floral set because of the beautiful Lily, Janet’s favorite flower. Then I decided to copy the sample card in the Idea Book & Catalog, pg 122. I changed the colors to a mix of greens, light pinks, and soft neutrals. I even pulled some retired Handsome Hunter from my stash since it’s Janet’s favorite color. All the flowers and words are stamped with Chocolate Chip ink.
The Rose is stamped on Pretty In Pink paper, and I needed to add some shading. I tried the Pretty In Pink marker, but it was too dark. Next I tried using a Blender Pen, but when it dried, it was too light. So I sponged some Pretty In Pink ink on top of the Blender Pen.
The Lily is stamped on Pink Pirouette paper. I colored the stamens with a Bravo Burgundy marker. Then I sponged Bravo Burgundy ink in the Lily’s center. I love how the Lilies turned out. The other flower is stamped on Very Vanilla, and I sponged a little Pretty In Pink ink on the flower.
I used the same layout for the card’s inside with a single Lily and strip of ribbon for embellishment.
You’ll notice I also used the Manhattan Flower embossing folder. Although, you don’t see very much of the design on the card’s front, I really like the impact on the inside.

Today’s card is another one that we made at the Stamp-a-Stack. I used the Tulips Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and the Big Shot to add the pretty border around the edge of the card. Notice how the embossed trim matches the Scallop Trim Border Punch. And repeating the same design element gives this simple card a sophisticated look.
I think the Stamp-a-Stack was successful. I’ll plan another one this summer. In the mean time, I’ll continue to show more cards we made, so you’ll know if you want to attend the next Stamp-a-Stack.

Today’s card is a special Thank You card I made for one of my friends. I hope she likes it. I chose my colors from Color Dare’s CD90 – Baja Breeze, Pink Pirouette, Rich Razzleberry, and Very Vanilla.
I embossed the card base with the Manhattan Flower embossing folder. Then I used my two-way glue pen to add Dazzling Diamonds to the embossed impression and stamped the coordinating rose image from the Fifth Avenue Floral set as my focal image. The use of Dazzling Diamonds qualifies this card for the SUO Challenge 9 -- "Bring On The Bling".
