Bordering on Romance Anniversary card

This is the card I gave my husband on our Anniversary earlier this week. Silly me, I didn't realise the sentiment was not straight until I looked at the scan. Oh well, he still like it, after all he knows I am slightly off also. I saw this card and knew it was the one I wanted to make (with a few modification, of course). I took my color coach to my husband and asked him to pick one color for his card, anything but a brown or green, since the color he picked would be the color of the flower on his card. He picked Rose Red. I changed the card from square to the standard A2 invitation size, changed the sentiment, added pearls to all three flowers, used smaller pearls as the accents. I also changed the embossing folder. Since I was using Rose Red instead of the pink she used, I changed my secondary color from Crumb Cake to River Rock. I size larger of the Framelit Labels Collection Dies. If I made it again, I would go with the smaller.

Postage Due in Rich Razzleberry

Here is another card for this months stamp camp. I loved this stamp set as soon as I saw in the the Idea Book and catalog. I love postage stamps, and the Eiffel Tower, so this was right up my alley.

My inspiration for this came from Kellichan, you can see her card at  (http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/2224849?&si=got card will travel). I removed the sentiment and twine, added the netting stamp and die cut with the Labels Framlit. 

The collage stamp in this set is fabulous. You can stamp it all one color, or with markers color it like I have done in this sample. Cut it out with the Labels Framelits. Then sponge and crinkle, pop the postage stamps, add a bit of ribbon, an antique brad and you have this beautiful card. This scan doesn't show it very well but if you look close you can see I have stamped tone on tone the Netting stamp on the Razzleberry card front.

Stampin' Supplies:
Stamps: Postage Due and Netting background.
Ink: Rich Razzleberry, Early Espresso and Old Olive Classic Inks and Stampin' Write markers.
Paper: Rich Razzleberry, Early Espresso and Very Vanilla.
Accessories: Labels Framlits Collection, Big Shot die cutting machine, Early Espresso Taffeta ribbon, Antique brads, Stampin' Dimensionals, Mini Glue dots, Stampin' Sponges

Gently Falling with En Francais

This is the second card for this months stamp camp. I don't know why the scan is so blurry.

I cased Tami C's card (http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/2229918?&si=cqs swap 1). but made the following changes. I used the new Woodgrain embossing folder.  I didn't have a Rich Razzleberry button, I used the small Vintage Faceted button and punched a 1/2" circle of Rich Razzleberry card stock. I attached the paper on the back of the button using Crystal Effects. I also used the bakers twine instead of the Linen Thread. Thank you Tami for the wonderful card.

This card uses the the Core'dinations card stock available in the Holiday catalog.

The Core'dinations paper was embossed using the new Woodgrain Textured Impressions embossing folder, also available in the Holiday catalog. After embossing, I lightly sanded the paper, leaving the wonderful panel used on this card.

I love the leaf with the script showing in the leaf. This effect is created by Stamping the Scrip in Early Espresso, then Stamp the leaf with the VersaMark ink pad and embossed with clear embossing powder. When cool, using a sponge dauber, ink over the leaf, darker close to the leaf and getting lighter as you get near the edges. When inking is complete, use a napkin or paper towel and wipe the ink off of the leaf.

To crinkle the ribbon, on the edge, pull a tread gently out of the center on both ends. the part under the leaf panel does not need to be crinkled, so you only crinkle a small portion on each side.

I didn't have a cherry cobbler button, so I created on using a 1/2" circle punch and a small Vintage Faceted button. I attached the paper on the back of the button using Crystal Effects.
