Kind & Cozy with Flower Shop

We've got a lot of brilliant sunshine today, so I am posting

a card that I hope reflects that sunshine.

The Kind & Cozy set seems to go so well with Flower Shop,

that I had to pair them.  I used happy colors inspired 

by the Gingham Garden DSP pack.

Colors:  Melon Mambo, Whisper White,

Daffodil Delight, Gumball Green,

Gingham Garden DSP

Other:  Pansy Punch (or Flower Shop Bundle),

 2 1/2 Circle Punch,

Framed Tulips Embossing Folder

 

Gift of Kindness With Some Grunge and Grid

I like the Gorgeous Grunge (p 109) and Off the Grid (p 108)

 sets paired with almost any other.  They work with any

genre or event!

Sets:  Gift of Kindess, Gorgeous Grunge, Off the Grid

Colors:  Whisper White, Coastal Cabana, Real Red,

Fresh Prints Designer Series Paper Stack

Other:  SAB Banner Punch, Rhinestones,

Crumb Cake Taffeta Ribbon, Argyle Embossing Folder

Golden Congrats

The Happy Congratulations set makes it easy it is to 

produce flashy cards.  The lanterns are easy to emboss and 

punch out, so that they can be strung across a card.

Sorry about this picture as it's really hard to capture

the gold elements, without glare.

Colors:  Whisper White, Vellum card stock, Gold

Other:  Gold Embossing Powder, Gold Sequin Trim

Valentine-ish card

This looks like a valentine card, but then "love" cards

work any time of year.  This card was inspired by someone,

but sadly, I can't find the pin on my Pinterest boards.

I am drawn to cards that have an image punched out

or cut out with a framelit, so that cool paper can be

put behind it.

 

Set:  Field Flowers 

Colors:  Whisper White, Champagne Glimmer Paper,

 Basic Black, Primrose Petals

Other:  Small Heart Punch, Postage Stamp Punch,

Beautifully Baroque Embossing Folder,

Pearls

Embossed Gold Foil Flower Shop

I was in a mood for textures when I made this card.

First I embossed the background layer with the

Simply Scored with Diagonal Plate, creating a hashed pattern.

Then I took some Gold Foil (p 23 of Occasions)

and embossed it with one of the flowers from Flower Shop.

Cut it out with the Pansy Punch and layer on

1 1/4 Burlap Ribbon and you get a very organic look.

I used the "happy day" sentiment from the

Happy Day set (p 112).

I wanted to add black ribbon, but the 1/4 inch Taffeta Ribbon

has silver borders.  I ended up using my black marker

to color the edges black, yeilding a great, 
well balanced look.
