Happy 4th of July

Since today is the 4th of July I thought this card was very appropriate.
This was one of the cards that my sister, Tina, designed for our
Demo Make & Take last month.

Isn't this so fun.
She stamped the Brushstrokes background with Real Red ink onto Whisper
White cardstock.  She stamped the star image from You're So Sweet using
VersaMark ink and White embossing powder on a piece of Night of Navy cardstock.  Then she cut out the center of the star using the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits — there is a star in that set.  Then she used dimensionals to adhere the Night of Navy piece
to a piece of Whisper White cardstock and adhered that to the front of the card.

But that's not all.  Check out the inside of this card.

ADORABLE!!
She used the Confetti Stars Border punch along the bottom of the
Whisper White cardstock and added a piece of Real Red 1/4" ribbon
that has a bow tied in the center — cute.

Watercolor Wings Just for You

The Watercolor Wings stamp set has very quickly become a favorite set
for my stampers.  The best part — it comes in a bundle.
The Bold Butterfly framelit coordinates wonderfully and when
purchased as a bundle you save 15% — don't you love a sale.
Watercolor WingsThe base of this card is the Thick Whisper White cardstock.
I added a layer of Mint Macaron and then a layer of Smoky Slate.
I stamped the border image from the Watercolor Wings stamp set using
Smoky Slate ink. 
Have you tried the Triple Banner Punch yet — love it!!!
I used that on the piece of 2015-2017 In Color DSP — Mint Macaron to
punch the banner end on each of the DSP strip.
I added a piece of the wonderful 1" Mint Macaron Lace Trim over the banner.
I stamped the full butterfly image with Mint Macaron ink that was stamped off.
Then I stamped the outer edges stamp using Mint Macaron ink full strength.
Last I stamped the inside image using Smoky Slate ink.
Cut out with the coordinating Bold Butterfly framelit, then stamp the body
of the butterfly with Smoky Slate ink.
I popped the butterfly up with dimensionals and last I stamped "Just for You"
with Memento Black ink.

Friends are the Spice of Life

This card has lots of layers — you know I like layers!!!Gifts from the GardenThe base of the card is Mossy Meadow with a layer of Smoky Slate.
I added a layer of Rose Red (I know, when was the last time you used that color).
I applied a strip of the wonderful In Color Washi Tape (love that stuff)
across the center of the Whisper White layer.
Ink up the words with the Smoky Slate and Rose Red markers
and stamp, centering at the bottom.
I cut out Pear Pizzazz and Whisper White layers using the Lots of Labels framelits.
I inked up the stamp with markers — Mossy Meadow, Smoky Slate and Rose Red.

I am loving this stamp set — these kinds of flowers I can keep alive.
