White Cross Card

Here is a card I created for a swap on Splitcoaststampers. It was a White only swap and I had a hard time coming up with an idea. To make matters worse, there are a couple of *very* creative ladies in the swap that have signed up for (and created cards) for 11 spots! Their cards are amazing and I was always thinking that my ideas wouldn't measure up. Then inspiration hit and I came up with this card. I've had this stamp for several months and not used it, so it was nice to come up with a design using it. The cross is from Stamp A Mania (I love their stamps!!) and I used SU Dazzling Diamonds. The background is the Swiss Dots embossing folder, cut with the Victorian scissors. The cross has been cut out and popped up.

Here is a card I made for my step-dad when he was sick.  I'd gotten the Achoo image in a swap and thought it was perfect.  I used my Bic pins to color the image and it is layered on a tissue - a clean tissue!

Graduation Cards

One of my family members is graduating from high school this month and here is the card I made for her and the thank you cards I made for her.  I used the SU set Tassel Time and the Graduation Day roller.  The die cuts were made using "Thin Cuts" die.  None of the paper or ink is SU, just paper I had that was the right color. The thank you cards were made using the DCWV pre-folded cards.

Wedding Card

I made this card for a wedding that Johnny, his mom and sister are going to next weekend.  I would be going but I already had unchangeable plans.  The bride is Annette's cousin's granddaughter.  I used some heart tissue paper as the background (thanks Mom) and then Real Red for the heart which I embossed with the script Cuttlebug embossing folder.  I used a white ribbon to "tie" it all together.

I made this set of cards for a swap.  I used the Script embossing folder and then used my ink spots to ink them, concentrating on the raised letters.  I used the SU scalloped/circle punches and the Small Script for the front.  I used Die Cut With a View paper and the following SU colors: Regal Rose, Pink Passion, Certainly Celery, Bliss Blue, Barely Banana, Apricot Appeal, Gable Green and Mint Melody.  The last color is Whisper Blue from another company.
