<br />
Here is a card inspired by an Online Card Class. This is a single layer card with in-laid die cuts (technically 2 layer because I added a card base). I went back to my trusty valentine CCC color combination, Calypso Coral, Crisp Cantaloupe, and Cherry Cobbler.<br />
<br />
I laid out 1/2 inch strips of the colored cardstock, adhering them to printer paper. I then die cut out the heart using the Hearts collection Framelits. Next, I used the Hearts stencil and used versamark to create what looks like a shadow. I then offset the stencil, and used Whisper White craft ink to make it look like the hearts were jumping off the paper. Obviously my versamark pad was a bit filthy, as it turned one of the hearts a bit gray, but I don't think that's worth scrapping it.<br />
<br />
I then cut the same heart out of Whisper White cardstock and stamped and colored the sentiment. Then I assembled everything together on a Cherry Cobbler card base.<br />
<br />
I used the photo-polymer set Countless Sayings 2 for the sentiment, and colored it in with the Calypso Coral Blendabilities (my friend's markers that I used while she was napping ;) ). I then added dots with the Uniball Signo White Gel Pen.<br />
<br />

This is a photopolymer set, so it was easy for me to extend the drawn line to the edge of the card (the curly-cue on the right hand side is actually the "e" from the "love", I wasn't watching, oops!).<br />
<br />

To make this card I sponged (similar to a cosmetic sponge), in a pouncing motion on top of the Hearts decorative mask stencil. I used the "CC" theme, Cherry Cobbler, Calypso Coral, and Crisp Cantaloupe for the hearts gradient. I used Staz-On for the sentiment, then lined up the stamp and stamped again to extend the line to the width of the card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The doily heart is a design that I cut on my Silhouette Cameo, I don't think this particular design was suited for being cut on such a small scale... it was quite "fun" to weed all the hundreds of tiny pieces (hard to see in the photo, but the interior heart is a lacy grid). I think it was worth it though!! I adhered it to the card using bits of Stampin' Dimensionals.</div>

The silver glitter heart was cut using the smallest framelit from the Hearts collection, and the red glitter heart was cut from the Fashionable Hearts embosslit.</div>

The white embossing detail doesn't show clearly, rest assured the embossing shows a nice clean intricate design. I had seen some cards where people colored a white embossed image with markers on Kraft card stock. The colors look very nice in contrast with the white line art. I decided to give it a try, I didn't want something as dark as Kraft, so I used Sahara Sand.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I used the flower from the Flower Shop stamp set, and the sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes. I simply stamped the flower multiple times on the Sahara Sand with Versamark ink and heat embossed white embossing powder. I colored in the images with Coastal Cabana and Calypso Coral. I repeated this color scheme on the sentiment, it is stamped in Calypso Coral and matted with Coastal Cabana.<br />

I'm using one of my favorite stamp sets again - Blooming with Kindness. As I look at it now, the one thing I would change is adding a Coastal Cabana mat around the embossed panel, and then mounting it on a white card base.<br />

I came up with a card that uses some of the Sale-A-Bration goodies available free for every $50 you spend. Here is the card:<br />

Tip #1</h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I bought an extra See Ya Later stamp set in clear mount. I absolutely love the style of the sentiments, but may not always want the icon that goes with them. The icon and the sentiment are together on the same stamp. Masking is a pain and I wanted a better solution than resorting to using markers to color in only the parts that I wanted directly onto the stamp. So, in the end I turned my set of 4 into a set of 8 by cutting the stamp in two. I cut the icon loose from the sentiment! Because this set is an extra, I have the choice now to use the stamp as a whole or to use my separated set.</div>

Tip #2</h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I needed to apply Dimensionals so I could mount my card elements around the twine. I only had a little space to work with, so I cut the edges off of the Dimensionals sheet for long and put the narrower pieces behind my elements.</div>

What I did with this card was very similar, I die cut an ornament, but this time, just cut one side of it to make a flattened bottom, and retained the pointed tip. Here is the card that I put together.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-cJonv9X3A86aDjyKPUh9zbrU9qxn6N8aXZqxGZ8dHgA2jcu1xdrSztX29D8pl32T-_WUlQU-NM3NHprx2R-aAcDGS02gJFw_yZFzxf9u-rHIa9SkRbX0MfPUjHuaGTM945rnxC0kDPtx/s1600/WP_20140117_012.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-cJonv9X3A86aDjyKPUh9zbrU9qxn6N8aXZqxGZ8dHgA2jcu1xdrSztX29D8pl32T-_WUlQU-NM3NHprx2R-aAcDGS02gJFw_yZFzxf9u-rHIa9SkRbX0MfPUjHuaGTM945rnxC0kDPtx/s1600/WP_20140117_012.jpg" height="320" width="180" /></a></div>
<h3>
INSTRUCTIONS</h3>
<div>
<ol>
<li>Create a standard 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" card base out of Real Red cardstock</li>
<li>Using Brushed Silver cardstock, a die from the Ornament Framelit collection, and the Big Shot Magnetic platform, die cut the ornament shape. In my case I had it overlap the edge to avoid trimming the bottom of the kiss.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoViSVe5gVurNThALfQj8_lXyOGfjqjDX21iupOTFuDA7-_L1YPthK7-DWv_mCa2QHuwYA7TyzNdMOr6vAVqc_zyrl2lylZxWbd8A-v0i6pIT-K1Uf2CRxno2TFUS5dSk87IwamV34GAa1/s1600/WP_20140117_004.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoViSVe5gVurNThALfQj8_lXyOGfjqjDX21iupOTFuDA7-_L1YPthK7-DWv_mCa2QHuwYA7TyzNdMOr6vAVqc_zyrl2lylZxWbd8A-v0i6pIT-K1Uf2CRxno2TFUS5dSk87IwamV34GAa1/s1600/WP_20140117_004.jpg" height="320" width="180" /></a></div>
</li>
<li>Next, take out the Circle Collection framelits to size up the circles with the die cut kiss. In my case I am using the 5th and 6th (from the smallest) dies.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</li>
<li>Using the larger of the two circle dies, die cut Real Red cardstock</li>

I wanted a darker green color, mid-green color and a light green color. It ended up being a little too subtle for my liking but I thought I'd post it here anyway. The next time I will probably go all out bright contrasting colors, like vivid blues, pinks and purples.<br />

<li>Decorate :) - I used the Beautiful Wings Embosslit for the butterflies embellished with Pearls. I used the One in a Million Stamp set for the sentiments using Tangerine Tango ink. The sentiments were cut out using the Labels Collection Framelits. The flower on the main sentiment is from the Love and Sympathy stamp set, I felt it fit the watercolor feel well. It was colored with Pear Pizazz, Daffodil Delight markers, then I thumped the Tangerine tango on the flower part to give it depth. I also punched some borders using the scallop ribbon punch. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here is a card I came up with for my son's birthday. I wanted him to know just how spectacular he is, so I used a lot of silver on his card.

Within it is some of the most beautiful paper I've seen in a long time, it's called Watercolor Wonder designer series paper. It is quite stunning!<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I decided to put together a quick project, I really didn't have a plan in place, so I just went with the flow. I came out with a cute flower card using the new Watercolor paper as the background.</div>

Creating a Christmas Wreath with Flower StampsI love it when a stamp set is versatile. For this project, we will be creating a Christmas Wreath card using the Stippled Blossoms (Roses) stamp set. This is an idea I've seen many times on the demonstrator website, I'm not sure who came up with the initial idea, but it has a fabulous effect!<br />
