Celebrating You

Have you checked out the Crazy About You stamp set in the Occasions Catalog?  What a great stamp set and well worth the investment.
Celebrating YouThe base of this card is Calypso Coral with a layer of Coastal Cabana and then a layer of Whisper.  Next I used a piece of the Irresistibly Yours DSP (you can choose as a FREE Sale-a-Bration item when you place a $50 order).  I sponged Coastal Cabana ink on the DSP to color the areas not embossed — this piece has little polka dots all over it.  I trimmed the bottom of the DSP to make a banner.  I used the Flower from Crazy About You and stamped it on Whisper White cardstock with Calypso Coral ink and punched out with the 1 3/4" Scallop Punch.  I added a pompom from the Calypso Coral Pompom trim.  I stamped the Celebrating from Crazy About You also with Calypso Coral ink.  The used Calypso Coral cardstock and the Hello You thinlit to cut out YOU and adhered to the front of the card using the 2-way glue pen.

The Hello You Thinlit and Crazy About You stamp set are available in a bundle that will save you 15% when you purchase both items — what a great deal.

Moon Lake Happy Birthday

 

Masculine cards are tough to design.  Making cards with flowers and feminine designs is so much easier.  The Moon Lake stamp set from the Occasions Catalog makes designing cards for the men in your life a breeze.
Moon Lake BoatThe base of the card is Whisper White with a layer of Basic Black.  I stamped the boat and tree image from Moon Lake using Memento Ink.  The Happy Birthday is from Crazy About You — the words are separate so I mounted them onto the same block (that is one of the things I love about the photopolymer stamps) and stamped with Memento ink.  The Memento stamp pad is what you should use for black ink with the photopolymer stamps — stazon can have a reaction with the materials used in the photopolymers.  Last I layered the stamped image on the Black layer.  Wow, not one dimensional used on this card — can you believe it.

Simple Wonderful Tulips

 

Have you tried the Irresistibly Yours DSP yet?  LOVE IT!!!  It is white embossed images on white 12" x 12" cardstock — so cool to use just as it comes but better yet, you can color it any color that you want and the embossed images stay white while the rest of the cardstock is colored.
Simply WonderfulThe base of this card is Pear Pizzazz with a layer of Soft Sky and then a layer of Whisper White.  The bottom of the White layer is a piece of the Irresistibly Your DSP that I used a sponge and Pear Pizzazz ink to color — so cool.  I used Soft Sky and Wild Wasabi Blendabilites to color the tulips and stems.  I used the lightest shade in the Skintone Blendabilities to color the "newspaper" just a little bit for some added depth.  I added some Soft Sky 1/2" Seam Binding Ribbon and a knot on the right side and last I made a small bow using White Baker's Twine.

Remember you can get a package of Irresistibly Yours DSP when you place a $50 order.
