One Big Beautiful Ornament

Today’s card features one big stamped imaged! I grabbed this stamp set from a FB Stampin’ Up! buying and selling group for really cheap. I don’t know why I never bought it. I love the big ornament and the ability to color it however I like. For these cards, I heat embossed the image in gold, copper, silver, and pewter. From there, I created color groups and started coloring. Pairing the image with a coordinating cardstock and DSP scrap completes my card.

FMS372: Balmy Butterflies

Today’s card was created using Freshly Made Sketches #372. I just love the simplicity of the design. So many directions I could have gone!

For my card, I started with a strip of Bermuda Bay Glimmer Paper and worked from there. I coordinated that strip with a piece of the Gingham Gala DSP in Balmy Blue and cute out some cute butterflies from the Botanical Butterfly DSP pack (SAB item!). I finished off my card with a cute sentiment and some fun sequins. Love this card!

Time for a Cuppa

Today’s card is a beauty! I saw a card on Pinterest that used an embossed piece of paper as a background layering it on top of a piece of same colored cardstock. I forgot how much I love that look so this is my card recreating the idea. After embossing my piece of Highland Heather cardstock, I added a bit of Gingham Gala DSP to the bottom to create a table of sorts. I set my colored tea cup on that table adding some flowers and tying it together with ribbon. My final touch was to add a few Highland Heather sequins to the centers of the embossed flowers.
