April Swap

I had a terrible time coming up with a color combination for this card.  I love the Botanical Gazette DSP and wanted to use this particular stamp with it.   I was so stumped that I had to take it to my Peeps for help.   We tried several color combinations until Voila!  We found it. Crumb Cake with Not Quite Navy.
 
The base of the card is Crumb Cake. The mat is Night Quite Navy ran through the Big Shot with the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder. The DSP is from the Botanical Gazette series now retired from the Occasions Mini Catalog but available digitally on My Design Studio. I used a scrap of Crumb Cake with the Scallop Border Punch and tucked it just to the left under the DSP. Next a wrap with Crumb Cake Seam Binding Ribbon.
 
The stamp set if from the Four Frames set , a sneak peak from the 2011-2012 Idea Book and Catalog.  I also used the Teeny Tiny Wishes sentiment with the Stamp-a-ma-jig. Both are stamped with Night Quite Navy on Crumb Cake and punched out with the Decorative Label Punch. A faux mat is also punched with the Decorative Label Punch from Not Quite Navy. Not Quite Navy brads were used to embellish the sentiment.
 
I really like the design of this card.  I was going for a masculine look and I think it turned out just fine.  Not my favorite card but I think I did it justice.  Thanks to my PEEPs, Pam, Judy & Patty for helping me get it right!

Dazzling Blueberry Crisp

buddy-swap-november-2010

This card has a two-fold purpose.  The first is a birthday card for my upline, Pam D'Urso.  I had to make something very special for not only is she a very special friend but a creative and talented leader.  Her support is endless and I appreciate her commitment to this business.

The second purpose is for a monthly Buddy Card Swap lead by Karen Graff-Povis.  My swap buddy for this month was Patti Schnell.  After receiving this card in the mail, Patti sent me an e-mail telling me that she was wondering why in the world I was sending her a birthday card when it wasn't her birthday.  Then she realized I was her swap buddy.  What a hoot!  I love this swap because you never know from one month to the next who your buddy is and then it's a big surprise when you get your card in the mail.

Here are the details for this card:

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.

Summary

Stamps:  Teeny Tiny Wishes, Flight of the Butterfly
Paper:  Rich Razzleberry, Pale Plum Old Olive, Cottage Wall DSP
Ink:  Rich Razzleberry, Pale Plum
Accessories:  5 Petal Punch, Boho Blossum Punch, Nestabilities, Dimensionals,  Ribbon, Brad, Paper Piercer & Floss

I hope you enjoy making this card.  It's pretty easy when you Stamp n Punch!!!
