Two New Stampin' Up Sets

This is one of the new hostess sets from SU called Simply Soft (a two-step stamping set). I embossed one of the floral images in white on the vellum and colored it in with markers. The sentiment is from the new set called Happiest Birthday Wishes on the Four Frames set frame. Also used pink taffeta ribbon, half pearls, frame punch and a border punch for bottom.

Simple Friendship

I just got the new set Simple Friendship yesterday and I think I'm going to love every stamp in this 7 piece set!! I used the Bella Birds paper with Cocoa and Naturals White cardstock. Small flower was stamped in Pirouette Pink with rhinestone brad added to center. Butterfly was stamped in Pretty In Pink on vellum and cut out.

Fifth Avenue Floral and TAWC Vellum Challenge

Our Three Amigas Weekly Challenge is hosted this week by Sharon Graham who has challenged us to use vellum on our card.
I used Pirouette Pink as the card base with another layer of vellum cardstock that was wheeled with Doodle in craft white and edged with eyelet border punch. Fifth Avenue Floral image on Pirouette Pink sponged with some pinks. Leaves in Celery from the flower in set. White organza ribbon and you know I had to add some piercing, Sharon :)
We would love to have you join us for the challenge, just break out that vellum and add it to your card somewhere. Be sure to add TAWC to your keywords so we can see your creation and leave you some love.

Vellum Cameo

I came across some coasters that looked like the old fashioned cameos and thought I would try to translate it into a card. The base is Bordering Blue which was embossed in white with the Bella Toile. The vellum was folded in half over this and secured in the center under the main circle. (You can add a tiny dab of vellum tape in corners if you like). Botanical Blooms stamped first in the Bordeing Blue ink and then in Versamark and embossed in white. Add dots with white gel pen and alternating piercing. Scallop circle die is from our Big Shot die selection. Added white taffeta ribbon that was run through a ribbon slide. Center of slide ring was filled with liquid glue and Dazzling Diamonds added for some sparkle.
