Congratulations

Simply title. Not so simple card.

This was one of the cards from my September Card Buffet. I forgot to share it.

I love this color combination. The gold tones work really well with the Island Indigo. Don’t you agree? Brushed Gold card stock with the Gold Foil – nice, nice, nice!

I had been excited to try the Dotty Angle stamp set – it was perfect for this card. Especially, stamped vertically next to the Washi Tape. The sentiment from the Bravo set – stamps so well! I was skeptical at first about these stamps. Not anymore.

The feathers just add a fun element, Ties everything together.

This card, it speaks for itself.

I’d love to hear what you think?

I’ve been flippin’ to share this card with you. It’s a pretty one from my February Card Buffet.

Since the Occasions Mini has come out, several of our favorites have fallen out of site. For example, these Circle Card Thinlits. I combined this card style with a new stamp set in the Occasions Mini, Happy Watercolor. And, two other nifty products, Watercolor Wonder Washi Tape and Gold Sequin Trim. Take a look –

And, as it flips open…….wait for it…..

Despite the yellowish photographs, isn’t this lovely?

The Gold Encore Pad really helped to do this card justice. A simple added touch? The Gold Sequin Trim. It comes off the string rather easy. I just adhered them with Tombow Liquid Glue.

As I am preparing for the March Buffet, I do not think this one will be on it. I just have too many things to show.

Comments are always greatly appreciated.

…..And the Winner Is

Happy Sunday! Finally taking a little time for myself! Decided to create a card.

I’ve Pinned several different challenges as usual, but now I’m trying to get back around to playing with some of them. Since tonight, many will watch the Oscars, I thought why not create a card for that?

So, I went to Freshly Made Sketches and decided to play along with this layout –

Nice layout, huh? See my take on it –

My card is fresh, fun and simple! It’d make a great jacket for an Oscar nominee list or a party invite or just a simple birthday card.

The star of this card is the Gold Foil Paper. This stuff is a bit hard to photograph. I added a little extra with the Watercolor Wonder Washi Tape.

I wanted to coordinate the edging around the Foil with my sentiment. In my retired bin of punches, I found the Pinking Hearts Border Punch which works perfectly.

‘The Winner’ is from a main catalog stamp set Blue Ribbon. We have sort of forgotten about those, haven’t we?

I was able to use the new Starburst Framelit Dies here as well.

As an accent color, I thought Real Red was real appropriate!

Thanks for taking a look. Hope you enjoyed my Oscar card share for today! Thanks Freshly Made Sketches for the terrific layout that I used here!

Banner L O V E Direction

Banner LOVE direction because of all the elements I used in my card share today.

Like I said yesterday, I love card challenges. This time I found a color challenge to play along with over at the Paper Players. The colors to use are Midnight Muse, Crisp Cantaloupe and Gold. Nice, challenging combination I’d say.

I went with a non-traditional Valentine type themed card.

I stamped my letters in Gold Encore from the ABC-123 Sketch Alphabet & Numbers. I used the Sale-a-Bration Banner Punch to punch them out. They work perfectly together!

I added the detail of punching the two card stock colors two more times to add a piece at the bottom and top of the mini Banners. It added some length. The background is the Watercolor Wonder Washi Tape. The arrows are from a new framelit set, On Film Framelits.

Just a few elements put together to create an amazing card. Speaking of card, the card size here is a retired Stampin’ Up gift note or enclosure sized card (and envelope). It’s wonderful. I wished we still had these. I do have a lot of odd retired stuff in my stash.

Happy Stampin’
