Another retired DSP pack down... I'm really loving this set of cards.

Card #1

Card Inspiration from Stampin' Connection

I love the simple blue and cream combo. Very pretty together!

Card #2

Card Inspiration from North Shore Stamper

My version

I made two variations because I didn't have enough Midnight Muse Dahlias for both cards. I actually pulled these little heart wood veneers from my Take Ten PL kit. Perfect finishing touch.

Card #3

Card Inspiration from DO Stamping with Dawn

Simple yet lovely. I realize that my favorite cards are usually pretty simplistic. At the last minute, I added the wood veneers for that extra little something.

Card #4

Card Inspiration from Card Creations by Beth

My version

This card looks much better in person. The embossed Midnight Muse piece really pops and the dahlia adds a little extra touch.

Card #5

Card Inspiration from Stampin' Pretty

My version

This card is so bright and cheery! I don't have the ovals framelits (must put on wish list), so I substituted my new Starburst Framelits. And I don't have the same ornament stamp and punch, but I do have the old retired ones. Still works!

Card #6

Card Inspiration from Northwest Stamper

My version

This card really isn't my personal style, but it's pretty. I got the new hostess set I LIke You because watercolor images are so popular right now. This is the first time that I used it and I actually like it!

Card #8

Card Inspiration from Dawn's Stamping Thoughts

Another card that just isn't my style, but it turned out okay. I like the contrasting paper and butterflies.

Card #9

Card Inspiration from Pretty Impact

My version

I think this card is my favorite of the entire bunch. I love the simplistic shapes and lots of texture. For me, the switch to the yellow cardstock for the sentiment banner really makes the card pop!

Card #10

Card Inspiration from WeeBeeStampin4Fun

My version

Turns out I don't have Cajun Craze ink in either a marker or an ink pad. I dug through my stash and found a Really Rust marker from a few years back. It' snot the same color, but I think it coordinates nicely with the Cajun Craze card stock.
