Sheer Bliss

I love this stamp set (Bliss) and one of the BEST things about it, is that it was FREE during Sale-a-bration! I used Rich Razzleberry paper, ink and grosgrain ribbon, embossed the whisper white background with the new tulip embossing folder and added a half pearl to the cut-out butterfly! The Crumb Cake background for the butterfly has another of the "bliss" stamps embossed with white embossing powder. Perfect for a wedding or other happy occasion!

Night time Nature

Making cards with a masculine feel are always a bit of a challenge, but I think this one will work! It is a bit of a twist on the positive/negative technique in that the grass from the Inspired by Nature set was first stamped in White craft ink on Basic Black paper and then on Whisper White paper using Basic Black classic ink. We used the large circle punch to create a moon and then matched up the images! Easy peasy! A Basic Grey background adds a bit of dimension.

Build A Cupcake!

This stamp set and the punch are both featured in the Occasions Mini Catalog! A combination of stamping and punching made this card a LOT of fun to make! Card stock used was Marina Mist, Wild Wasabi, Real Red (for the Cherries!) and Whisper White (embossed with a swirly pattern first so it looked like frosting! Yum!) Marina Mist, Wild Wasabi and Chocolate Chip inks were used to stamp the cupcake bottoms and the greeting.
