I Made it the Finals!

I am super excited to have made it to the final round for the SCS CAS fall design team. The theme for the last round is couples. This Amuse image came to my mind right away! I just think it is too cute! I stamped the image, colored it with copic markers, and then used Verve's set Sweet on You and stamped around the image. Next, I used SU's wide oval punch to punch out the focal image. The scallop border it is actually stamped in chocolate ink, it is not cut out of a piece of cardstock! It is also part of Verve's set Sweet on You. I popped up the focal image and added a heart gem to the top of the kissing couple. The patterned paper is by Bo Bunny and I used SU's scallop border punch to make the edge decorative. Lastly, for the sentiment (by Hampton Arts) I stamped it on a strip of white paper and folded it to make a banner. I used a small square punch to complete the triangle edges of the banner and popped it up in the center to add some dimension. Wish me luck, we will find out on Thursday who will be a part of the fall design team!



Thanks for looking!

Thinking of You



We recently visited the Cooks Corner in Green Bay and while I was there my husband spotted a display of handmade cards for sale! Of course I had to check them out, I love getting inspiration from others! One of the cards I saw had a layout like this and I thought it was so fun, and something different! I had to try one! I started with the sentiment from Verve and used a variety of punches to make the gradual matting. Thank goodness I have such a variety of punches, it made life pretty easy for this one.

Stamps: Verve: Circular Sayings, SU: Thoughts and Prayers

Punches: ek success and marvy circle punches, su scallop circle

Accessories: gold brads, ribbon by American Crafts

Ink: Memento Rich Cocoa

Paper: DCWV paper pad, Bazzil Cardstock, GKD Cardstock

Thanks for looking!
