Eastern Beauty Smiles

Hello Hivers,

I thought I would try something different with the Eastern Beauty stamp set.  I used some of the images as flowers.  This was my first attempt and I didn't really think about the layout.  I love this card, but I think I could have done so much more.

Colors:  Dapper Denim, Rich Razzleberry, Whisper White, Lemon Lime Twist, Melon Mambo, Old Olive, Smokey Slate, Wink of Stella, and Soft Sky

Ombre Birthday

Hello Hivers,

I was wowed by the results of this card.  I am not a huge fan of Wisteria Wonder, but I love how it looks when paired with Calypso Coral.  The bold image from Big on Birthdays really stands out.  The final touch was the New Calypso Coral 1/4" Ombre Ribbon that I added to the top corner.

Colors:  Calypso Coral, Whisper White, Glossy White, Wisteria Wonder

Here are a couple of boxes I created using the template found below.  These boxes are the same, I just turned one of them on its side.

On the tall box, I used the Bow Builder Punch for my sentiment and the Tree Builder Punch for the little flower.

Stormy Days

I am still playing around with the Polished Stone technique.  I thought the High Tide stamp set was perfect for the colors that I used in the background.  I textured the Basic Gray card stock with the Seaside Texuted Impressions Embossing Folder (TIEF).


Colors:  Glossy White, Smokey Slate, Basic Gray, Pacific Point

Polished Stone Sympathy

Hello Hivers,

I hate having to make Sympathy cards, but I do love the way this card turned out.  I wanted it to be very simple with calming colors.  I added a pop of color with Flirty Flamingo to just one of the roses.  I used the Bright Wishes and Colorful Seasons stamp sets to complete this card.

Colors:  Whisper White, Glossy White, Smokey Slate, Pool Party, Silver Glitter

Colorful Seasons Sympathy

Hello Hivers,

I made this card for my oldest son to give to one of his friends.  She lost her husband a couple of weeks ago.  I can't imagine what she is going through.  We are praying for her to find comfort in good memories of their life together.

I used the High Tide and Colorful Seasons stamp set to create the card.  The colors I used are Whisper White, Basic Black and Bermuda Bay card stock.  I added some of the New Mini Cheveron Ribbon along with some retired Candy Dots.
