Moon Lake

I have a new stamp set that is perfect for your Masculine cards — it's called Moon Lake.  The images are great — this goose/duck/loon (yup, I'm a real nature girl), a row boat by a tree and a bird on a branch (don't ask me what kind of bird).  The words in the set are nice too.  Check on this card.

FullSizeRender-03The base of the card is Island Indigo with a strip of Adventures Bound DSP Stack — great prints in this paper stack.  I stamped the goose with Stazon and used Aqua Painters and stamp pad to color the image.  I mounted the stamped images on Basic Black cardstock to make them pop a bit and of course used dimensionals to adhere the layers to the card base.  This card is quick to make but is very stunning.

Petal Potpourri Birthday

 

Don't you just love when you have a punch that coordinates with the stamp set.  Petal Potpourri has just that — a brand new stamp set and coordinating punch — Flower Medallion and better yet it's bundled together at a sale price — WOO HOO!!!!
Petal Potpourri BirthdayThe base of this card is Blackberry Bliss with a layer of Sahara Sand which I stamped Happy Birthday with Blackberry Bliss ink.  I used the Something Borrowed designer paper to make the banner pieces.  I added circles and starburst of Blackberry Bliss and Sahara Sand cardstock — don't forget the piece of fabulous lace.  Yes, that's new too — it's in the Occasions Catalog — it's called Sahara Sand 7/8" Lace Trim — love it.  I stamped the lacy flower with Blackberry Bliss ink on Whisper White cardstock and punched out with the coordinating punch.  Don't forget to addd a pearl in the center.  This card can easily be transformed into a wedding card, sympathy card, thank you card — just change the words on the front of the card.

Love is Kindness

 

Love is Kindness is such a sweet stamp.  It is a single stamp from the Occasions Catalog.  For this card I left the words on the stamp — I think I am going to cut the words off so I can use the tulip image for birthday cards, thank you cards, thinking of you — then I won't have "the essence of love" on a birthday card.

Love is KindnessThe base of this card is Wild Wasabi with a layer of Calypso Coral.  Then I added a layer of designer paper from the Sweet Dreams DSP.  I used the Ornate Tag Topper Punch to punch a pretty top for the Whisper White tag and then cut a piece of Calypso Coral cardstock a 1/4" larger and slipped that in to cut the "fancy" top for that layer too.  I stamped the tulip image with Memento ink and colored with Calypso Coral and Wild Wasabi Blendability Markers.
