Bubble Over

Some cards just put a smile on my face and this is one of them.  It's just fun.  I love the bright colors of this card and it makes me think of a fun summer day with a cold soda pop.  Wow - I think I'm showing my age!!
I cut the 3 bottles out using the Big Shot and used sponge daubers to color the 3 bottles.  I used coordinating cardstock to cut out the bottle tops.  The sentiment is embossed onto the black cardstock using white embossing powder. 

And just for fun I added the bubbles along the edge of the inside edge using the same colors.

Special Couple

Well, today is my hubby and my 38th wedding anniversary so it seems appropriate to post a wedding card today.  I love the intricacy of this Springtime Impressions Thinlits.  It really makes a WOW factor.  I used Shimmery White cardstock to cut out the flowers and it really is lovely.  The tag for the front sentiment is cut out using the Petals and More Thinlits - another big hit in my book.

And you know I always love it when our stamp sets also give us wording for the inside.  This was just perfect for this card!

Tranquil Tide Birthday

This is a little bit of a fun fold card.  It's a little unusual in that the framed image in the front also is the place to write you message on the inside.  I love the masculine look of this and I'm loving this new Designer Series Paper.

Here is a view from the side so you can see the part that lifts up.

And here is a view of the inside of the card once it is opened up fully.

Birthday Wishes Vases

I find that Cajun Craze isn't a color I often reach for but I loved how this one turned out.  I think the outline of the flower in Cajun Craze accompanied by the Grapefruit Grove flower color really compliments it nicely.  I'm loving using vellum to softly add a nice texture of leaves using our leaf punch. 

I used a strip of Tear & Tape to hold the Burlap Ribbon in place and just cut it flush with the Cajun Craze strip below it.

I love when our stamp sets have coordinating words that we can add to the inside of our cards so here is what I did for the inside.
