Swiss Cheese


I pierced so many holes in this card it is like Swiss Cheese. I just couldn't stop once I got started, sorry. Polka dot paper is retired SU Night and Day specialty along with Real Red, Basic Black, and Whisper White. The stamp set is the soon to be released Elements Of Style, this time I used the swirl and the bird from the set.

Red, White, & Blue jumbo wheel


I used the new Red, White, & Blue jumbo wheel by SU available soon in the Summer Mini, embossed in clear on Whisper White. Also used Something Sweet set and sweet treat cups. Colors that will be staying in the new catalog of Not Quite Navy and Real Red. Mixed red M&M's with blue and white York peppermint pieces for inside treat cup. A very tasty mix :)

New SU Color and paper


The yellow scallop is the new SU color Daffodil Delight. It is a softer, more buttery shade than the retiring Yoyo Yellow. The pumpkin polka dot paper is from the summer mini, the other paper is Kaleidoscope. Pumpkin Pie card base. The image is from the sweet new fairy set called A Little Bit Of Magic, colored in markers and Dazzling Diamonds added for wings. White taffeta ribbon and non SU crochet thread with Playground button to embellish. This new set is two fairy images, a bit of stardust and one sentiment. Very cute!!
the sketch is this week's Card Patterns Sketch #60.

More Elements Of Style


I can't seem to stop making cards with this set. For this one I used Bella Bleu paper with Brocade Blue, Very Vanilla (base was embossed with the Perfect Details plate). Flower image was embossed in Versamark and silver. Flower at top is die cut from the Sizzlits Birds & Blooms.

Elements Of Style


A quick card to try out the new colors of Cherry Cobbler- an absolutely gorgeous red that is somewhere between Riding Hood Red and a cranberry/burgundy. The Espresso is a darker brown than Chocolate Chip. Very pretty together.
I stamped the background swirl in Cranberry for now and shaded my flowers with pastel chalks in a dark and light pink with an apricot center. This makes really quick work of coloring the blossoms and looks prettier in real life. It was hard to get it right in the photo.
