Great Friend!

For this card I am using up some of my retired paper. Pink Passion cardstock and ink are one of them. I also used my great friend stamp and put glitter on the butterflies. The ribbon is from the 60% off sale!

Spring Trees

For this card I pulled out a retired stampin up stamp called Trees Three. I still really like this set and I don't want to get rid of it. I am making 96 cards, along with Julie and Ruby, for the Vintage market, so I need to come up with allot of ideas.

Chic Boutique!

For this card I used kraft, old olive, crushed curry, regal rose, and Bella Bleu paper. I also used one of my favorite stamps, chic boutique. For the background I used the very vintage wheel.

Happy Moments!

I will be posting allot of cards this week. My friends Julie, Ruby and I are making cards to sale at Vintage Market on main street in Turlock. We have been very busy making cards! For this card I used some DSP from stampin up old olive paper and orchid opulence. Orchid Opulence is one of the stampin up colors that will be retiring. It is to bad because it goes so well with rich razzleberry. I also used the new Happy Moments clear stamp. I love the new clear stamps because you can line them up without having to guess so much.

Happy Bird Day!

For this card I used some of my favorite paper by my minds eye and wild asparagus. The stamp is by stampin up Good Friend. The punch is the bird punch for the greenery in old olive. I also used the scallop punch.
