Bella Rose card

Hope everyone is having a great weekend! I am excited to be heading to a family gathering later today, and looking forward to seeing lots of cousins, aunts & uncles etc. You know we LOVE to eat too! There will undoubtedly be tons of food!



As I head off to get ready for this, I thought I'd send you a little stamping inspiration from my desk. Here's a quick card I made the other night.



Bella_rose_card



It is using the Bella Rose Designer Series paper (I LOVE this stuff!), along with Pink Pirouette cardstock, and Kiwi Kiss. I punched out the Bella Rose paper for the centre circle, using the 1 /4" circle punch, added a 1 3/8" punched circle of Kiwi Kiss behind, then popped that up onto a Scallop punched piece of the Bella Rose chocolate polka dots. The bakground layers are simple straight cuts, with an added Scallop Edge punch trim along the bottom. The sentiment is from the Upsy Daisy stamp set (on sale for 15% off right now!) in Chocolate Chip ink. Hope you like this!



Have a fabulous Sunday!

Upsy Daisy cards

I was unpacking some orders yesterday, and got my Upsy Daisy stamp set that I have been waiting for! Here are some things I made last night....



Upsy_daisy_card_2 I used the Kiwi Kiss carstock, Bella Rose Designer Series paper, Pink Pirouette ink, and Kiwi Kiss ink. I inked up the Upsy Daisy stamp set (on sale for 15% off right now), and used my Stipple Brush to add Kiwi Kiss ink to the tops. The sentiment (from the new Punches Three hostess set)is inked the same way, and punched out with the new Scallop Square punch! Add a little White Taffeta ribbon, and voila!









Here's another one:Upsy_daisy_2_card



Same color combo and tools as above, but used the Designer Label punch (p188, $19.95) for the sentiment (taken from the Upsy Daisy set).



This one's in honor of my Mom, it's her birthday today! Happy Birthday, Mom!















Hope you like them! Have a fabulous day!
