Bloomin' Beautiful 2

Actually, I made this card for one of the LNS challenges. I never did get it uploaded for that! Oh well! I still really like the card! The challenge was simply to use Designer Series paper! The patterened paper I used on this card is from the Sweet Pea DSP stack. There are alot of really nice papers in the stack....and ALOT of them too! This card was inspired by a card I saw on Stampers Showcase a long time ago. That card was made by Bethany Rozek. Here are the items I used to make this card:

Stamp sets: Bloomin' Beautiful, Teeny Tiny Wishes

Cardstock/Paper: Kraft, Rose Red, Whisper White, Sweet Pea DSP stack

Ink: VersaMark, Rose Red, Old Olive

Other: black embossing powder, Big Shot, Movers & Shapers die w/Modern Label insert, Modern Label punch, Scallop Trim Border punch, Tag punch, Small Tag punch, heat tool, AquaPainter, Stampin' Dimensionals

LNS Challenge 51

This is my submission for this week's challenge over at Late Night Stampers. Now, unfortunately, I didn't save a picture of the "inspiration" for this week's challenge but it was one of those "designer" cakes. It is really pretty. It was pink and red and white. It had stripes in some places, tiny little flowers, these little round objects, diamonds, and I can't even remember what else it had other than around one of the layers was what looked like a yellow ribbon tied in a bow!!! Now, you can see what I "saw"! All of the other girls on the list saw the pink, red and white! My poor brain must be warped because all I saw was polka dots and the yellow ribbon!!!! OH....go look here - http://www.technostamper.blogspot.com/ and you will see a picture of the cake! That is a link to Mary Jo Price Williams's blog! See all the pink and red? See that TINY bit of yellow? That TINY bit of yellow is what called out to me! My brain really is weird! Anyway, here is what I used to make this card:

Stamps: Circle Circus, Vintage Vogue

Cardstock: Crushed Curry, Old Olive, Whisper White

Ink: Crushed Curry, Old Olive

Other: Movers & Shapers die with the circle die, Scallop Circle punch, 1 3/8" Circle punch, 1" Circle punch, 3/4" Circle punch, Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions folder, Big Shot, sponge, Crushed Curry Polka Dot ribbon

A Flower For All Seasons & LNS Challenge

This card fulfills two purposes actually! The first is the Late Night Stampers weekly challenge. The challenge this week was to make something using brads. The centers of the little flowers (which might be difficult to see because of the shadow) are brads. The other purpose is one of my New Year's Resolutions! I want to use EVERY stamp set I have to make a card or "something" this year. I have quite a few sets that I have that I have NEVER used! I also want to use all the tools I have. I have had this Movers and Shapers die since Stampin' Up! started selling it. I have NEVER used it to make a card! Well, I have now!!!! Here is a list of the items/products I used to make this card:

Stamp sets: A Flower For All Seasons, One Of A Kind

Cardstock/paper: Watercolor paper, Cameo Coral, Pink Flamingo DSP

Ink: Basic Black, StazOn Jet Black

Other: Big Shot, Movers and Shapers die with Holiday Windows die, AquaPainter with Cameo Coral, Garden Green and Going Gray inks, 1 3/8" square punch
