 a close up...

 some sayings you can stamp after you emboss....did the saying first on this card

No 10 in male card class

This has a nautical look to it.....

No. 9 of the quick male card class

Butterfly Basic set...male card

Another male card from that class...just used the paper, twine and a vellum piece embossed with the butterfly set from the mini

Gorgeous Grunge

Used Gorgeous Grunge set, washi tape and smoky slate and saffron cardstock....also used  the hostess set for the phrase...and the banners are the subtles DSP ...

Peachy Keen and moustache edgelit

This is a very simple card....I cut it a little short of the 4x4..used memento ink and popped the moustache...

Open Sea

Did this card with watercolor paper using the Open Sea....that was stamped in stazon and both pool party and lagoon were used  with the aqua painter.....the circle collection, modern label and word window were also used...

World of Dreams and A Dozen thoughts

This was stamped with the cherry cobbler....the postage stamp with garden green cardstock...I used the ticket builder punch to create the slot for the cherry cobbler ribbon...when they did the class....told them to punch the slot lower...I had it up too high....

Traveler and Starburst Sayings

Here is one of the ten quick male cards...will post one a day...used cajun and pacific point ink

Polka-dotted Pieces and Daydream Medallions

Polka-dotted pieces and Daydream Medallions and the framelits....I used the hello thinlit...am hoping it will be in the catalog...I have loved the polka dot set but hate to order sets after the first of the year....but never fails...I always do..lol...

Love the crochet lace...hope that stays in the catalog....wanted to do a vintage card but this year was thrown out of kilter a little bit....

Used the heat n stick for adhering the dazzling diamonds....can also just use 2 way glue....used sticky strip to adhere the pink pirouette seam binging....the doilies are the best!!   And SSSSOOOO reasonable...

Used Banner Banter

Used the Hexagon punch to reach in and punch the two areas where it says Happy Day and Just for you...one was punched from the top...the other from the bottom...

 Punched all the Flower Pot DSP hexagons and just glued on....little Itty Bitty Accents in Lagoon with the pearls were added....

 you have to watch those pearls...they move on their own...lol

Amazing Birthday, Everything Eleanor, A Dozen Thoughts

This is a cased card...isn't it wonderful....love all the dimensions...used the envelope board to round the corners....

Love our new memento ink....used the  2.5 inch circle punch for the Eleanor decorative circle...and the circle collection for the black large circle....the 1.25 and 1 3/8 were used around the birthday cake...

 Have been using the Dozen thoughts a lot lately....guess if the teeny tiny wishes goes...can use that one...lol...

Easter card for Orlando and a class shutter card

Just used punches for this card...using the gatefold and a couple of embossing folders....

 then used the circles collection

 This is similar to the other shutter card...in color and the very front and happy birthday

 Added the stamp to the side of happy day..

 used the dazzling diamonds on itty bitty butterfly

 used the accents punch pack for the white corners...

used the pansy and the petite petal and punch pack for the flowers...

used the chevron punch in two areas again.....pearls are a great accent!!! used the bone folder to curve the flowers..

 the card closed....

Easter baskets....Berry basket die

This is for Adam...the young man I tutor..and his brother, Seth...they are leaving for the beach on Friday for their Easter vacation....have been tutoring him for about 2 yrs...I made the basket with our wonderful Gold Soiree DSP....and used the brushed gold instead of the foil due to the paper...I would much rather have a brighter look....love our new staple gun....did the butterflies in the brushed gold and pistachio to go with the paper...and the vintage buttons and white twine...

here is a close up....I attached it to the cellophane using some light twine...threaded it through the holes in the butterfly before knotting it in the back...love how it came out...Nicole Tugrul (one of Patty Bennett's downlines)...did a tutorial on utube using the DSP backing paper as a way to reinforce the basket....that is what I did...glued the DSP to the backing paper 3.5 by 8.5 and die cut together...wonderful idea...thanks Nicole...she is on talented individual!!
