Petals a Plenty

Hi there,

I hope that you're staying dry. Right now the rain is coming down quite heavily. Yesterday was my mom's birthday and I made this card for her. I used the Paisleys Petals DSP that will be available in the 2011-2012 Idea Book & Catalogue. I just love this DSP and all the colours that are in the designs. I am participated in the Use It Tuesday challenge - Challenge #8: Flowers! If you're wondering if the rosette is availabe in different colours, I'm sorry to disappoint you. It doesn't. What I did was colour the vanilla rosette with my Stampin' Write Bravo Burgunday marker. This way you can coordinate the rosette with whatever colour you like.

Here's my card:

Here are the details for the card:

CS: Bravo Burgundy, Baja Breeze, Whisper White
DSP: Paisley Petals
Stamp Set: Well Scripted
Ink: Bravo Burgundy (Stampin' Write Marker)
Embellishments: Baja Breeze 1/2" Seam Binding Ribbon, Vanilla Rosette, Basic Pearls
Tools: Scallop Trim Border Punch, Decorative Label Punch

Thanks for stopping by,
Ana

And the long weekend is over...

My birthday falls over the Victoria Day weekend. What a treat to celebrate my birthday with an extra day off! Well, today reality hits and I'm back to school... marking awaits me.

I thought I'd share these mini thank you cards. They are 2 3/4 X 4 1/4 in size. I used them as "thank yous" for the teachers who helped out with my spring concert. They are all made using the Blueberry Crisp DSP (can you tell I'm trying to get rid of my stash of DSP)???

Happy Birthday Triple Slider Card

Happy Birthday to Heather! I wanted to create a special birthday card for my dear friend and fellow blogger Heather so I decided to make her a triple slider card that Heather Summers created. Check out Heather Summers' blog Stamp With Heather - Triple Tier Slider Card for full dimensions and instructional video. It was easier than I thought to create, mainly because of the video tutorial.

Here's my take on the triple slider card:

Here's the card with all three tiers visible:

CS: Rose Red, Pumpkin Pie, Very Vanilla
DSP: Sweet and Sour
Ink: Rose Red, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Crumb Cake
