SC#273 Pretty In Pink

I'm just playing with some sketches I never got around to doing. This one is for SC#273 here.

I thought of using the Extra Large fancy flower punch with the stamp set With All My Heart. and the coordinating Sending Love Specialty papers. I used Versamark to stamp the image and embossed it with Iridescent Ice embossing powder. I then punched that out with the Extra Large fancy flower punch.The center of the flower is a piece of Very Vanilla card stock punched with the 3/4 inch circle punch and a Real Red 1/2 inch Sending Love epoxy brad.

Here's my recipe:

Stamps: With all My Heart

Papers: Very Vanilla, Pretty in Pink and Sending Love Specialty

Inks: Versamark

Accessories: Extra large fancy flower punch, 3/4 inch circle punch, Sending Love Real Red 1/2 inch epoxy brad, Iridescent Ice embossing powder, Heat gun, Stampin dimensionals

Pink Polka-dotted Valentine

I've realized time is running out for making those Valentine's Day cards so here's another one. I used the Perfect Polka Dots textured impressions folder on the Pretty in Pink card stock base. I then used a piece of paper from Sending Love Specialty DSP and matted that on some Pretty in Pink and Real Red card stock. I colored the stamp from With All My Heart with the Pretty in Pink and Real Red Stampin' write markers. A piece of 5/8 inch Real Red Satin ribbon finishes it off.

Mojo Birthday Card

It's my sister's birthday on Sunday so I made her this card using the Mojo Monday sketch #124 here. Her card matches the little purse present I made here that she'll be getting this weekend.

I started by running a piece of Real Red thru the Big Shot with the Perfect Polka Dots textured impressions folder. I used the Party Hearty stamp set by inking the "celebrate you"and "party hearty" in Real Red. I punched each out with the Scallop Circle punch and Word Window punch, respectively. I added the Modern Label punch in Real Red on the upper portion. I used Chocolate Chip from the Scallop Circle #2 Big Shot die under the bottom part. There's also a Chocolate Chip 1 inch circle punch layered under the Pretty in Pink present that was punched with the 3/4 inch circle punch and popped up with a Stampin dimensional. A piece of Chocolate Chip punched with the Scallop Edge punch and a 5/8 inch Very Vanilla grosgrain ribbon finishes it off.
