Papillon Potpourri Birthday Card

Happy New Year!

Today's card is for my dear friend's birthday. I knew I wanted to use the Papillon Potpourri stamp set because she loves butterflies. She also loves purple so I wanted to use Rich Razzleberry. It's one of my favourite colours as well. For the sketch I returned to Sketch Frenzy Friday for sketch 010413. I really like the CAS sketch and I know I'll be using it again.



Here's my card:



















CS: Baja Breeze, Rich Razzleberry, Whisper White
DSP: Brights Patterns Designer Pack
Stamp Set: Papillon Potpourri
Ink: Baja Breeze
Embellishments: Basic Rhinestone Jewels, 3/8" Baja Breeze Pleated Satin Ribbon (retired)
Tools: Elegant Butterfly Punch

Keep stamping,

Wedded Bliss

Hi,

Today is an exciting day. It's the wedding of my cousin to his beautiful bride. The family has been looking forward to this day for a few years.

For their wedding card I wanted to incorporate the wedding colours and the flourish design on the wedding invitation. The wedding colours are purple, pink, orange, and brown. The flourish design reminded me of the flourish in the Bliss stamp set. Choosing the stamp set was easy, but coming up with the layout that used all the four colours was trickier. In the end I'm happy with what I came up with.

Here's the card:

Here are the details for the card:

CS: Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie, Rich Razzleberry, Whisper White
DSP: Brights Patterns Stack
Stamp Sets: Bliss, Silhouette Sentiments (Hostess - retired), Tiny Tags

Pretty in Pink & Purple

Hello again,
I'm back with another post. It's another birthday card. This card is for my goddaughter/niece. It's her 20th birthday on Wednesday. I can't believe that she's turning 20 already. I remember being at the hospital the night she was born, so excited for her arrival.

I went to Clean and Simple Stamping for their sketch #170. As soon as I saw this sketch I thought of adding cupcakes to the card. My goddaughter loves pink and purple so the colours were easy to pick. I used the Silver Glimmer Paper and coloured it using my Melon Mambo Stampin' Write marker.

Here's the sketch:

Happy World Card Making Day!

I know this is my second post today, but I wanted to add another one in celebration of World Card Making Day. For this card I am participating in three challenges. First of all, I went to Use It Tuesday's Challenge #16: Chocolate. It gave me a great opportunity to use my Eat Chocolate stamp set. Then I went to CR84FN Color Challenge39. This challenge uses the colours orange, yellow and brown. I really like this colour combination and it works so well with the chocolate challenge. Finally, I went to Stamping 411 for Saturday Sketch Challenge #222. I really like layout of the sketch challenge.





























Here is my card:
