Grand Soiree

I love this Stampin Up set, Grand Soiree. It is retired. I needed something to use my Country Living Cards a la Carte with and this was just perfect. I also used some old lace and some netting. The card stock is whisper white 12x12 and the new crumb cake! I love the new crumb cake card stock. You cannot see it but there is glitter on the chandelier too.

Flower Folds

For this card I used the Stampin Up big shot die, "Flower Folds". For the middle of the flower I used the scalloped punch and 5 petal flower punch. I also used the 1 1/4 circle punch for the black scallops at the bottom of the card. I used the day & night designer series paper. The cardstock is black and textured ivory. The ribbon is romance rose.

Graduation Card

I made this card for my nephews graduation. The school colors are red, white and blue. I didn't have any stamps that were graduation so this was the next best thing I could come up with. I just printed the Star Spangled Banner song on stampin up natural paper. I just cut stars out of crushed curry to add a different color. The card stock is real read and nights of navy. The stamp is Well Scripted. I saw this card on pals paper arts created by Beth and just made some changes to fit what I had.

Sew Perfect!

I love this october afternoon paper because it looks vintage. The cardstock is stampin up kraft and real red. I used the scalloped punch on tissue paper with the yellow button to make the flower. The ribbon is stampin up too.
