Stamp two sides of the Watermelon Wonder card base with a part of the Make a Medallion Stamp Set using Watermelon Wonder pad. Stamp bottom edge of Cucumber Crush card stock with Cucumber Crush pad.

TIPs:
Spritz cardstock with alcohol or water before using Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folders to get a crisper look to the cardstock. Attach them with Tear & Tape adhesive to ensure it adheres to the next layer.

2017013 Sympathetic Thoughts


This easy to make card can be used for either Thinking of You or as a Sympathy card. In addition to creating this feminine card, you can also create this easily in male or gender neutral. Sponging the edges with tone on tone color helps the CSP stand out against its matching cardstock layer.
TIPs: Any label can have an edge matching it by cutting two additional labels. Cutting the first additional label from corner to corner and repeating on the same piece. The second additional label may be cut either corner to corner or in half longwise. Arrange the additional pieces on the back of the original label to frame it.

2017012 Engagement Cake

This week’s really pretty card was made for a wedding shower for a young man I’ve known for a number of years. The young man has an old soul so I knew a traditional wedding cake would make him smile. When asked the color theme the Mother of the Groom told us a pale blush and mint. My sister and I both looked at each other and said, “Blushing Bride and Mint Macaron” at the same time laughing. So this was what my brain came up with. I chose to use a retired textured impressions embossing folder. I’m sorry I couldn’t remember its name; but I loved it.

2017011 Celebrate Banners


This weeks card is based on the colors of my youngest sons sleeper, given to me by one of my favorite people. Of course that was 28 years ago, but since then I've continued to love that color combination. My Any Occasion Sale-A-Bration stamp set came in today and I couldn't wait to play with everything.
