Hi – Hope you all enjoyed your weekend!  I was absent from the stamping room but I’m back at it now!  This is a quick card I made tonight as part of a set.  I made 6 base cards – 2 each in Kiwi Kiss, Riding Hood Red and Pink Pirouette.  They all have the Friendly Words jumbo wheel at the top on Kraft and the matching colored DSP from Bella Rose at the bottom.  They all have a ribbon across the center.  This one here has a medallion from the Gallery set and then nesting circles.  The 3 half pearls came from the Pretties kit.  The other cards are still waiting to see what they will get!  Thanks for stopping by!

Hi – Today’s card is a little off center – not literally, but the leopard is blue with orange spots!  That seems a tad off… But he’s cute, I think! 

I was looking for something to do with the graphic sides of the Walk in the Park DSP.  The floral sides seem easier for me to use in my projects.  Sometimes the straight lines and shapes of the more graphic designs seem to need too much symmetry or something.  Maybe I’m making that up… :]  Anyhow, I used the So Saffron and Baja Breeze pieces of the Walk in the Park DSP and layered it on more of the same colors.  The leopard is from the Zoofari stamp set and he’s colored with Baja Breeze and an Aquapainter.  The dots are just done with a Pumpkin Pie marker.  The frame is from the Gallery stamp set, stamped on So Saffron and then cut out and popped up on dimensionals.  The leopard’s hat is actually his body stamped and then turned upside-down.  The two dots at the top of his back are the bottom of the hat and the dot at the center of his belly is the point of the hat.  I just left some extra for fringe and then drew the side lines on with a really skinny black marker.  The “Happy Birthday to you” is from Birthday Wish set from the back page of the catalog – it’s only $6.95!  The button is threaded and tied with a skinny piece of So Saffron cardstock.  And all this is probably way more than you ever wanted to know about one little ol’ card!  Hope you like my goofy leopard!  Thanks for stopping by -

Hi – I love the way these cards turned out!  They are very different but both are cheerful, I think.  The pink card uses the Gallery stamp set for the frame in the middle.  I cut it out and layered a pink 1-1/4 circle on it with the “merci” stamped in the center.  The flowers are felt with a rhinestone brad in the center.  I used the Friends 24-7 set to stamp the Chocolate Chip layer at the bottom.  The red card is Riding Hood Red and Kiwi Kiss. The designer series paper is Bella Rose – a favorite!  The flowers are punched out with the Boho Blossoms punch and the retired Spring flower Bouquet punch.  I hope you like the cards too!  Thanks for stopping by -
