Set of Commissioned Cards... Graduation, Thank You's

So what do you do when your nephew is graduating, your husband requests a graduation card, and the school colors are brown and white?? BROWN AND WHITE!!! Who has such colors as school colors!!!!
After some serious thought, this is what I came up with... simple, because it's for our nephew... and in brown and white.
It's a pretty straightforward card, except I used a bookmark tassel I'd purchased for making bookmarks, cut it down, and popped two circles to hold the tassel. I also added two rhinestones to the front for some interest.


here's the inside view of the card.


This is another requested card from our librarian at school. She needed one for someone who was quite artistic. I loved this layered look so much! I used Pacific Point, Black and Vanilla carstock for this card... Pacific Point ink, and the Elements of Style stamp set.


I saw this card on Jeannie Phillips website a LONG time ago... and always loved it!! I needed a card for a horticulturalist, and thought this would be perfect. I used the first cut from the Walk in My Garden Cricut Cart to cut the daisies - making many, many layers. The one daisy in the inside is a little darker yellow cardstock. All pieces are matted and inked with Early Espresso and Black. The leaves are inked in Wild Wasabi and Early Espresso.

I'm not so sure I want to give this one away... it's really something in person!!


Here's the interior view... you can see a little of the flower inside as well as the identical matting from the front. Gotta LOVE the ladybugs crawling on the leaves!


Your comments are always appreciated!

March Stamp Club and a Thank-You Card (OSW)


I really like this card... wouldn't it be SO perfect for a man's birthday card? Gotta love how all the layers work together with the ink matching the very background. It is so elegant in person. I will re-create this for some family birthday cards soon!!


I don't have this punch set yet... but I will!!! We've used it now for 2 completely different "flavored" cards; one was a Christmas, snowy theme, and now this Spring card. Can't you see rusts and deep yellows/oranges for a fall card?
I love the Spring, and this card is just perfect with the beautiful pink, green, and touch of blue.


Here is another One Sheet Wonder Card. I needed a thank you card for someone who helps us out occasionally, and my newest punch - the MS Wrought Iron was perfect here!!

Stampin' Up Club! ~ August and September Projects!

The last two months of Stamp Club have been GREAT!!! Kathy's showing us some AWESOME techniques! I'm always so excited to go because the girls are so much fun... and we get to create beautiful projects! How could that EVERY be a bad thing!!



This card was created with the ever versatile Versamark ink, and chalks!! We used the daubers and the SU chalks to color in the daisies, and then stamped and distressed the remaining areas of the card. I still can't get over how pretty this is in person!!



I always LOVE the stairstep cards! Here we used the black Staz-On ink for the trees on acetate film, set the ink, and colored the trees in with some fall colors. All that was left was to just assemble all the other parts of the harvest-moon card.


This was actually our September card... lots of techniques here, plus a Scor-Pal! I chose to score every line diagonally at 1/2 inch, then stamp the blue baroque swirl. Then, Versamark the entire surface, and then add clear embossing powder for a shiny, glossy finish! There's also a clear brad we made on the medallion!



This one is also a September card!! Guess after 11 PM is just too late for me! Plus, it's been a long week!

Isn't this just the most adorable card? I'd seen that Just Buzzin' By set, and thought I didn't need it... WRONG! I sure love it even more now I've used it... sneaky! :)

Can you see the shimmer on the wings, antennae, and flower? That's the new Champagne Mist shimmer paint. Perfect for this project!!!
