Nature’s Perfection
OK, maybe I’m a little behind but I finally broke out the SAB Stamp Set “Nature’s Perfection” and the “Sheer Perfection” Vellum Stack. This paper is so much FUN! I love coloring the back and then using my Stylus to “brand” the paper/design where I want.
It creates a textured wonderland of design. Kind of like reverse painting. Anyway, it is lots of fun. Here are some more samples:
Love & Sympathy
A couple of old favorites, one of which is being retired. The sentiments from the Love & Sympathy stamp set are so perfect when someone has lost a loved one. This set is retiring. The tree is from Thoughts & Prayers and it too has some great sentiments. Lucky, this one will still be available in the new catalog.
I combined the two and then used a couple of stamps from Sheltering Tree (grass and flowers) stamp collection to add some color. A few pearls finish it off nicely.
I used an edge die to make the scallops at the bottom and then pierced it.
I used Wild Wasabi and Pink Pirouette (I love pink and green together).
The Manly Collection
More samples of what you will see at my Card Boutique on May 1. The Manly Collection is inspired by the new stamp set “Guy Greetings” and is so much fun to play with. So many possibilities. Here I CASED a few cards from www.Teriscraftspot.blogspot.com where you can purchase instructions if you would like to make the cards yourself. Have fun perusing these great guy greetings.
These are from another cute stamp set; “Wood you be Mine?” So cute and fun!

Spring Show – May 1 Samples
Crimp & Style
So, here is another card CASEd from BrandyCards.com. You can find her tutorial here: http://brandyscards.com/stampin-up-petal-potpourri-stamp-set/
I changed up the colors to Espresso, Lost Lagoon and Old Olive. I also used a variety of scripture stamps I have to make a box of 10 cards. These are perfect for sending an encouraging word to someone close. The crimping is a blast. I had never tried it before and didn’t even own a crimper. But I ran out to get one so I could make this card. I got hooked and decided to change up the design a bit more. So look and enjoy. These cards are a sampling of what will be for sale at my Card & Paper Craft Boutique on May 1. More about that later.
