My Version

I loved the look of this set of cards so much, I decided to create my own version.  I used the 154542 - Artistically Inked Stamp Set and coordinating 155371 - Artistic Dies.

I made one card for each coordinating color in the DSP.  For reference, the coordinating colors are listed on the DSP paper packaging which makes it super easy to coordinate products -- no guessing required!

             

         

     

       

     

I used the 151297 - Label Me Fancy Punch to get a curved shape for the edges of the greeting banner by inserting the end of the cardstock strip through the back of the punch so that just one edge was being punched and centering it before punching.  Then I turned the strip around and inserted the other end to punch it as well.

For ribbon, I used the 156485 - Black & White Gingham ribbon, and opted to not tie a bow.  To finish off the embellishments, a sprinkling of 154284 - Matte Black Dots does the trick.  

I love how this matching set of cards turned out!

The look of water you get from this sheet of Designer Series Paper got me thinking about other possibilities.  So, I pulled out the Sailing Home Stamp Set and coordinating dies and got to work creating this version of the card.

I substituted the 149457 - Sailing Home Stamp Set for the Awesome Otters Stamp Set, and used the coordinating 149576 - Smooth Sailing Dies instead of the Garden Dies.

I also substituted 146988 - Soft Sea Foam Cardstock for the Granny Apple Green Cardstock.

The sail boats were stamped using Basic Gray instead of the Tuxedo Black.

And, instead of using Blends, I used the Basic Gray watercolor pencil from the 141709 - Watercolor Pencils set to color in the boat.  I also added 141897 - Wink of Stella on the sails to give them a nice shimmer.

154897 - Pumpkin Pie Stampin' Blends Combo Pack

150646 - Hammered Metal (3D) Embossing Folder

Valentine's Day Card

 It's almost Valentine's Day!  Here a really quick, but elegant, card idea using the Always in my Heart Stamp Set (158183) and the Floral Hearts Dies (154306)

     

This card, was part of my February Card Class.  It uses the beautiful Shimmery White Cardstock (101910) that adds a special touch.

Blushing Bride Cardstock (131198) gives it a subtle pink touch of color, and the coordinating Blushing Bride Classic Ink (147100) for the greeting finishes off the look. 

Add a little bling using the beautiful Opal Rounds (154289) and your done!

Peaceful Deer Card with Embossed Designer Series Paper

 

Peaceful Deer Card

Embossing Designer Series Paper adds an extra element of texture and interest to your projects.

For this card, use a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Tidings of Christmas 6" x 6" DSP.  Run it through the machine using the Timber 3D Embossing Folder.  Once embossed, cut the DSP along the 4" side at 3".  This will give you two pieces - 1 that is 3" x 5 1/4" and 1 that is 1" x 5 1/4".  Turn the 1" strip over to use the reverse side on the project, and adhere both pieces to an Evening Evergreen cardbase using Stampin' Seal.

    

Adhere a 1/2" x 5 1/4" strip of Soft Succulent cardstock across the seam.

Stamp the deer on Cinnamon Cider cardstock with Early Espresso ink, and punch out with the Deer Builder Punch.  Adhere to the top portion of the card using dimensionals.

Stamp the greeting on Basic White cardstock using Evening Evergreen ink, and punch out using the Everyday Label Punch.  Using Soft Succulent Stampin' Blends, outline the outside edges of the punched out greeting.  Adhere to the card front with Evening Evergreen ribbon behind it using dimensionals.

Sprinkle with rhinestones and your done!
