A Grateful Heart
This is a card made last fall at a Stamp Camp. Just getting around to post it.

Pears with Pizzazz
The paisley pattern from the Spice Cake DSP series was not one of my favorites but the more I look at, the more I’m loving it. The subtle layers mellow the paisley which enhances the card without overshadowing the focal point. We made this card at my Stamp Camp yesterday.

Summer Mini Swap
With the launch of Stampin’ UP’s Summer Mini Catalog, I participated in a demonstrator swap. I made 10 identical cards and sent them to our hostess, Karen Povis Graf. She sorted them, and I received 9 different cards back. This is a great way to get ideas and inspiration from some very talented demonstrators. I received some fabulous swaps. You can see all of the swaps on Karen’s blog with her posts starting on May 1st.

Welcome to my Blog
Today is my first post. WOW!!! It's amazing how easy this. The reason why it's so easy is because of an awesome, and I me awesome, lady from Racine, Wisconsin. Her name is Michelle Laycock from Laycock Designs. She is a genius!! Without her, I wouldn't be here. Thus said, my first card is for her. Thank You Michelle!!!!
The base of today's card is Rich Razzleberry with layers of Pale Plum then Cottage Wall DSP. This color pallet is breath-taking.
Next is a layer of Pale Plum (embossed with Nestabilities) on Rich Razleberry. To create the layered flower, I used the 5 petal punch with Old Olive and Rich Razzleberry and the Boho Blossum punch with Pale Plum attaching them with an Old Olive brad. I popped them on with dimensionals. The sentiment is stamped in Rich Razzleberry is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes set. I used the back side of the Rich Razzleberry ribbon to tie a simple knot.
Finally, I first stamped a scrap of RIch Razzleberry with Pale Plum using the Flight of the Butterfly Set for a subtle monocromatic effect. Then I used the new butterfly punch. To add some character, I wrapped the body with DMC 3012.
