Hi




This is a card that I designed for the national swap using Ariana paper.

The card measures 8" x 3 1/2" and is covered by Ariana Gray CS. The piece of B/T paper from the Ariana paper packet 1 1/2" x 8" is adhered down the left side of the card.

A piece of Ariana Green CS is cut into a 3 3/4" circle and then run through the Cuttlebug inside the new Dot Embossing Folder(Z1924  $8.95) to give a little interest in the corner of the card.

New Pink Glitter paper (Z1922  $5.95) is FABULOUS!! You get (3)- 12" x 12" sheets of 3 shades of pink . LOVE IT!!

The "M" size stamps are such a value at $2.95. This "Hi" stamp (M1041) is a must have. Who doesn't want to say "hi" to someone? The "I" in hi is dotted with an acrylic flower found in the Ivy Lane assortment (Z3001  $5.95).

Enjoy your day!

Skylark with Quatrefoil Embossing Folder



                                    Made by Krista Hershberger

I think this is my favorite embossing folder of all the new ones....though tomorrow I could feel differently! Haha!!

Running the Sweet Leaf CS through the Cuttlebug with the Quatrefoil folder gives this card tons of texture without a lot of work. My kind of card.

Using an "A" size stamp like Quick Card: Island Greeting (A1157  $6.95) is another way to make a quick card look like you put a lot of effort into the card.

Did you notice the Jute ribbon? You get 5 yards of Jute ribbon (Z1867  $7.95) which is a great deal is you have ever priced ribbon out.

The accessories are the new Epoxy bubbles and the Skylark assortment which has 2 sizes of flower and birds all made out of resin.

Enjoy your day!

Skylark with Zipper Ribbon



This card is so pretty and I love the zipper ribbon. Made by Krista Hershberger, I received this in the national swap that I participate in. I love that I receive cards & layouts that other consultants make who have a different flair that I do.

The Skylark paper (X7177b  $9.95) has beautiful patterns in it. The zipper ribbon (Z1917   $3.95) is unique and you get 1 yard of ribbon in the package. The stamp set Believe in Yourself (C1574  $13.95) has great images that can be used in many different ways.

Enjoy your day!

Amazing with Lollydooodle



                                                                Easy with impact!

 New Lollydoodle paper, Love This (B1432  $9.95) stamp set, Pigment Black ink, Cotton Candy ink and Epoxy Bubbles (Z1935  $3.95)

I also ran the flowers through with the new Dot Embossing Folder (Z1924   $8.95) for some texture then bent the petals up slightly, mounting tape underneath also gives more dimension.

Washi tape in the corner is mounted to Cotton Candy CS to give some opaqueness to it.

Enjoy your day!

Perfect Day with Embossing




I love the new Embossing Folders in the spring/summer Idea book. This embossing folder is the Quatrefoil (Z1926  $8.95).This folder is 7" × 5" clear plastic, patterned embossing folder for use with an embossing machine. Pattern is repeatable for larger papers.

I ran the Slate CS through my Cuttlebug with the Quatrefoil folder and Viola! this is the amazing pattern.

I stamped the Perfect Day ( M1036  $2.95) with the Black Pigment ink (Z2503   $19.95)
Exclusive Inks™ Mini Pigment Pad Set in the following coordinating colors:
Black
Slate
Whisper
Cocoa
Chocolate
Saddle
Cashmere
Champagne
Desert Sand
Bamboo

I colored it with a Pear marker.

The new paper packet Lollydoodle (X7183b  $9.95) has wonderful patterns including this zip strip which you cut off the 12 x 12 to use. Very fun!!

New Durable Studs (Z1928  $3.95) finish off the card with a little Bakers Twine Metallic (Z1921   $5.95)

Enjoy your day!
