I started out with a kraft card base. I used my Martha Stewart scoring board to create the block pattern on the Autumn Terracotta cs, I also used my scoring board to score a border around my Sunflower cs. I stamped the flower pot and flowers in Sunflower ink on the Sunflower cs. I stamped three pots and three bunches of flowers on Colonial White cs, I stamped the flower pots on a seperate peice of cs and cut them out, I then popped them ontop of the first set of flower pots. I added some prisma glitter to the centers of the flowers. I layered the flower pot piece ontop of a piece of Buttercup Yellow cs. I wrapped jute around the three colored cs pieces. Topping it with a paper flower and paper leaf. The center of the paper flower is a brad with prisma glitter on it.

Gosh I really like these colors and the designer paper pack is a fav as well!! I created this 5 X 7 card by rounding out the bottom corners. I layered the B/T to three solid cs strips, two of the strips I textured with my cuttlebug folders! I sewed the 2 textured pieces with a zig zag stitch! I stamped the Thanks onto a colonial white tag, I stamped the Many onto a smaller Colonial white tag and the For Everything onto a simple strip of colonial white cs. I inked the edges of everything, it just softens the card and the edges dont look so rough and unfinished. I topped off my large tag with a satin chocolate ribbon.

Something girly!!

I used a all time favorite stamp set, you can always bling it out and I did. I added prisma glitter to every petal and leaf. I outlined the stems with cyrstal gems. I stitched around the stamped cardstock. I layered it onto baby pink cs and cut it with my pinking shears. Hey the pinking shears always get neglected but they can add a whole lot to your cards or layouts. I added some flowers topped with baby pink buttons and a ivory ribbon. I added a piece of ivory crochet lace to the side of a piece of sweet leaf cs. I layered the whole chabang onto a kraft card base. Now I hope this card SCREAMS GIRLY!! I just love it!!

Good News my computer is HOME!!!

I created a PARTY HAT,using exclusive CTMH designer papers!! I punched my 3 strips of cardstock with 3 different border punches! The big scallop punch is a NEW punch from EK Success, its one of their new large border punches. I added several pieces of ribbon and a heavenly blue button to the top of the hat. At the bottom I added to paper flowers and a baby pink button. Finishing it off with a sentiment!! I will have to find a birthday girl to send this too!!
