HAPPY ANNIVERSARY

I have so many Anniversary cards to send out in the fall. So I added one to my stash today.

I used the TRY A NEW TECHNIQUE CHALLENGE over at SCS. It was to Alter Designer Series Paper....I used mine in a new way for me and made one of these Lolly Flowers that I am seeing all over the place. I also used the DSP as the main panel on my card...which again is something I rarely do.

SENDING MANY THANKS

I saw a card on my friend Crystals blog using the Easy Events stamp set that we received for FREE at convention. I realized I haven't even inked it up yet. So I remedied that today. I made this card using the colors from today's COLOR CHALLENGE over at SC. The colors were: More Mustard, Calypso Coral and Cherry Cobbler.

I also used the fabulous Lace Ribbon Border Punch and weaved some Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding through it for some added texture.

I also created my own DSP using the flourish from the Best Friends Forever set, stamping it tone on tone on the More Mustard card base.

Card Supplies:

Stamps: Easy Events, Petite Pairs, Best Friends Forever

Paper: Very Vanilla, More Mustard, Cherry Cobbler, Calypso Coral

Ink: Black Staz-on, More Mustard

Markers: Cherry Cobbler, Calypso Coral, More Mustard

Punches: Lace Ribbon Border, Large Oval, Scalloped Oval, Modern Label, 2.5"Circle, 2 3/8" Scallop Circle, 1 3/4" Circle

Accessories: Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding, Rhinestones, Dimensionals, Dazzling Diamonds Glitter, Two way Glue pen

HAPPY 25TH ANNIVERSARY

Yesterday we spent the afternoon with family celebrating my Sister-in-law and Brother-in-law's 25th Anniversary. This is the card I made them that was included in their gift basket.

This card is a whole piece of 8.5 x 11 " card stock folded in half. I used the SU's Glossy Cardstock for the main image panel.

Here is a close up of the glossy card stock main image panel. (Click on the photo's to enlarge)

Here is a close up of the bow (I lOVE this ribbon) with the little Mr & Mrs attached with a safety pin.
