CAS(E) this sketch....Wild about Flowers...

Decided to enter this card in a case sketch....this is a thank you card for one of the organizers of my reunion....used the wonderful set...Wild About Flowers...love this set...stamped in old olive and Pacific Point and Blackberry bliss inks....

 sponged the background with old olive daffodil delight and pumpkin pie.....

Thank you card

Using the christmas paper in the new Holiday mini(Home for Christmas DSP) and the new set, Wonderland.....and the set from the regular catalog...Another Thank you..

 black ribbon

 tore both the black and DSP at the same time....but did it too fast....

 felt it needed something else...so added the trees in memento..

First Christmas Series

I really wanted to use this part of the christmas DSP to show Santa coming out of the chimney...I worked with this for awhile ...am satisfied with it..but not elated...lol

 part of the santa is popped...used our new snow falling embossing folder....

 and sponged that with craft white to look more realistic....smoky slate for the roof with the arrow embossing folder and the brick folder for the house...

 LOVE the striped ribbon on the tag...

 The second in the series is the one we did at the convention...I loved the elegance of it so am using it in the first series...

Butterflies and Washi tape

Love the washi tape and then dry emboss...nice technique...

Cut out the butterfly framelits from the black paper (embossed in clear to give it shine) and the Everyday chic DSP...I love that SU has the black and white paper...think it really adds to a card...gives it a touch of elegance...

Here is a close up of the washi tape when it is embossed...

inside of card

Happy Notes and Birthday Blossoms

Birthday Blossoms were stamped with Elegant Eggplant rhinestones and dazzling details were added to some flowers

 Happy Notes phrase and wisteria ribbon

Guy Greeting class card

Love the Blackberry Bliss with the soft sky.....they really compliment each other....

 there are two pieces of blue and then the 1 1/4 squares are added and glued and then the Label racket is popped...

 candy dots added

Card ministry...Blended Blooms

Used the zigzag folder with the Guy Greetings and did the technique with the circle...and object sticking out of it....

 After stamping the Blended Blooms, a blender pen was used and put right on the ink right after stamping....fake water color look

 used the lattice on the side

Guy Greetings with technique

Out of the circle technique...that is what I call it...have no idea the technical term....it is a tracing 

 then the piece is cut out and I cut into it and added the red frame

Card ministry card....boho borders and butterfly

Did the butterfly with Blackberry bliss and then stamped again on crumb cake paper....

 glued center

English Garden DSP with Best Thoughts set

Love the new pearls...Metal Rimmed Pearls....and chose to put the lattic look on the side of the card...

 Stamped part on and part off of the lots of label collection...

Silver embossed You've Got This

Love the neutrals paper pack.....really nice paper....used this set using the silver embossing powder...

 Phrase from A Dozen Thoughts....

Cherry on top case

I did a case on Monika's card...did not have the set needed so I used washi tape ....

 did use the daubers and qtips like she did though.....

 used the bird builder punch for the flame....

Magic card using VIvid Vases

It took me awhile to get this...such a techie...lol

 was half satisified with it...have to try it again in a couple of weeks..lol

Heartfelt Sympathy

Elegant dots were the best combination with pool party and lost lagoon sympathy card.....those doilies are still one of my favorites.......and that dragonfly...fussy cut....

 a couple of pearls and then all set....

Bloom for You case

I did this Thursday with my new friends...with the box card class.....in addition to the Bloom for You set, used the Flourishes set and the greetings edgelits....used so saffron and rose red....with the square of dazzling diamonds glitter paper .....popped the center saffron blooms piece...also curled the flower....

Had a few ladies that wanted me to do a box card class

Was nice to see and talk with these ladies I just met...they had asked me to do a box card so I did...but only one lady wanted her picture taken...lol....Deb, Judy and Linda...

 We did two cards on a prepaid class....Linda Dobbs is pictured....we talked and did another fold ...wil show that one later...

 Deb did the same paper in the Pretty Petals pack...wonderful paper..but everyone did their own colors with Coral as the base...the one above is Judy's card...

 Here is my sample....the ladies left with complete instructions,....some pictures...so they can make it on their own...Deb did the same as mine but accented it with the lettering and her banners in Old Olive...

 The card below is a close up of Linda's card
