Buckle card ...using the scallop topper punch

I will try to put a tutorial on this technique within the week....using sahara sand...this is a case from Monika Davis's card...just changed the punch and placement of tag and buckle....
 this is made from one piece of paper......
 I would love to see this twine in our catalog....so easy to tie and placement is so wonderful...oh well...I can dream....lol....

Road to Happiness

This is a cased card....few things done differently.....I used regular foil on the scrap piece ...glued it with towbow multiglue and then attached to card base with sticky strip....want less mess...use our new foil sheets carried over from the holiday  mini...
 the cherry cobbler piece and the tag are the only two pieces that are popped up.....I didn't attach the wheel brads on the tires to the two pieces...just to the white...but corrected it in class...they did it right...lol....
 After stamping the car on a separate sheet of paper....I then did versamark...direct to paper technique and then used the irridescent embossing powder...the presents were stamped before adhering the car with dimensionsals...
the tag just has one modern label punch...with the cherry cobbler ..it is cut in half and then added to the popped saying.....

Peaceful Petals

When I created this card, I had help from my upline upline I believe...Linda Bauwin....I used a different flower and did some of the other things differently but it is her card......used Peaceful Petals...love that flower design ...so simple and elegant....used the smoky slate and cabana paper....you need to go in on each side (after card stock is cut 4.25 x 11) and score at 2 1/2 and then at 3 1/2 then used the biggest die and cut it 
on the magnetic plate(try to get under the non embossed area...so you don't nip a corner)...then emboss with the SAB dots EF....sooooo glad that will be in the catty this year....

 I colored the center of the flowers with wisteria and then used dazzling details on that part...colored the butterfly wisteria at the ends and in the middle and added just a hint of cabana between the colors and then used the dazzling details....this is a really pretty combination....it shows up pretty well in picture....attach with glue dot or dimensional...
 view when it is folded...from the side...

Gifts of kindness with dots SAB folder

Have had this set for awhile and been dying to use it....I envisioned this card...and it turned out pretty well...I was not satisfied with the plain flower, so added some touches....my class felt otherwise ...the first flower is mine and the second ....the class one...we left plainer....
 LLLLLLLOOOOVVVEEE those candy dots...candy to the eye....lol
this is the way we did it in class.....there is a whole in the middle of the olive oval...and we flipped that piece over and used it for the center....

Happy Watercolor set again.....

The sets in this mini...along with the watercolor paper are to die for....wonderfully designed....I used the artichoke color on my sample but in class we chose the stazon...will show  pictures of that at the end of the post...
 used the rotatry blade that is zigzag for the edges on the water color paper cantalope piece...
 stamped off to get the lighter spots behind the flower image...small pearls....
These are the closeups using the stazon and we used extra pearls in the center of the flower..isn't 
that lovely....
 closeup is bad but think you can see the pearls...and the design....
