Emerald Anniversary #2

Here is my second 55th anniversary card made with my two favorite new stamps sets - Flower Shop and Petite Petals.  The sentiment and rings is done with a Sizzix die and the background is an old Stampin Up stamp called French Flair - done with Sparkle N Sprinkle's Silver Detail embossing powder.  The leaves are from Stampin Up's Bird Punch.  You'd almost think it was St Patrick's Day, there's so much green around here!

On a roll, see you soon!

Pastel Birthday

 I cased a card on pinterest (found HERE) and it turned out to look nothing like the card I cased!  So the question is....Did I really case it?  First of all I used a Martha Stewart butterfly, which wasn't nearly as large and then I used SU Petite Petals and the leaves from Stippled Blossoms.  And the color combo is much subtler.  Love the Hardwood background done with Crumb Cake on Very Vanilla.  The flowers were also stamped with Crumb Cake on a piece of watercolor paper that I splotched with six different colors of Twinkling H2O's first.  You can see the sheen of the flowers better in the photo below.   The best part, though, is the sentiment that I didn't have a label to fit on, so my good friend Terry showed me how to trace and cut on the Silhouette!  Thank you Terry!  I just love it!

Thanks for visiting!

Cat Lover's Birthday

 I'm back with my second post this month!  I'm on a roll again!  And I had the best time today playing with some new stamp sets that I've been dying to use!

 I gave a friend a card using this SU set called Giggle Greetings back in March and she ordered four more - one for each of her sisters. Obviously ALL cat lovers!

 This first one I cased off a card on Pinterest by Robin Lee from Stamping Country.  I used Pool Party and Slate Gray papers and a doily die by Cheery Lynn. 

For the second one I used my two new favorite colors, Pistachio Pudding and Crisp Cantaloupe with the Stippled Blossoms stamp as a background.

And on the third one I used a paper from Primo's Rondelle paper pack with the Petite Petals stamps for the embellishments. (Had to hand cut the flowers because the punch is on back order, but it was worth it!)

Thanks for visiting!
I'll be back soon!
