Computer Issues

Hello Everyone,

I just wanted to let everyone know that I have not fallen off the face of the earth! I am having some computer problems and have not been able to upload my photos. Still trying to figure out what the problem is. I am posting this from my husbands computer.

Hope everyone has a great weekend,
Cindy

Sympathy Card

I have a very wonderful friend who is a Gyne Oncology Nurse and I make cards for her Doctor to send to the patients family. This is just one of the cards, all the others will be the same except for the DSP will be different. I decided to go with shades of green for her cards and I really like how they turned out.

Stamps: Close as a Memory & Heartfelt Thanks

Paper: Certainly Celery, Mellow Moss, Close to Cocoa, Brocade Background DSP (retired)

Ink: Timber Brown Stazon, Certainly Celery, Pale Plum, Perfect Plum, Barely Banana

Accessories: Stamp-a-ma-jig, Eyelet Border punch, Mellow Moss Taffeta Ribbon, Dimensionals

Elegant Thank You # 2

I needed another Thank you card so I did another one but different. I like the Rose Red as the main part of the card and the Kiwi Kiss as an accent. Did a little more layering on the thank you. All in all, I like this card better than the first one I made!

Sympathy Card

Not my favorite cards to make, but receiving a handmade card is precious to the receiver.
Another coworker needed five cards made and this is one of them. All were the same except
the DSP designs.

Birthday Card for a Friend at work.

I really like the colors in the Raspberry Tart DSP so I just had to make another card with it!
I also added a little extra bling on the top of the cupcake with some beads. This card got a
lot of attention at work :-)

Anniversary Card

I made this card for a girl at work who needed an Anniversary card for her parents. Taking the photo was a bit challenging trying to get the right angle in order to see the Baroque Motif's embossing behind the heart. This look was achieved by stamping image in Craft White and then clear embossing. The heart was stamped on Vellum with versamark and embossed with Silver embossing powder. I turned it over and used SU Markers to color it to give it the stained glass look. This card looked so much better in real life!

Stamps: Always, Together Forever, Priceless, Baroque Motifs
Ink: Craft White, Regal Rose, Pretty in Pink, Versamark
Markers: Pixie Pink, Green Galore, Pretty in Pink, YoYo Yellow
Paper: Shimmery White, Blush Blossom, Vellum

KWERNER Color Inspiration #40

Click the KWERNER photo to get to her blog!

I am so ready for spring! I have never used this color combo and this is what I came up with.

I embossed the Old Olive with a CB Folder using my Big Shot. I used Versamark to stamp the butterflies on the So Saffron. The Ric Rac was made with the Eyelet Border punch. I thought

these colors made a great spring card.

Stamps: Flight of the Butterfly

Ink: Versamark, So Saffron, Taken with Teal

Paper: More Mustard, So Saffron, Taken with Teal, Old Olive, Whisper White

Accessories: Ticket Corner punch, Eyelet Border punch, CB Embossing Folder, Big Shot, Stamp-A-Ma-Jig

Elegant Thank You

This was a quick and easy 3" x 6" Thank you card using the Raspberry Tart DSP and making Ric Rac with my scallop edge punch. If you stamp the Thank you with the swirl in the corner, this goes great with the square scallop punch!
