Oops!

I make mistakes.  We all do, right?  The first time I stamped the doily for the card I made yesterday, I didn't get it pressed down very well, especially in the center of the stamp.  When I do that, I usually just turn the cardstock over, and try again, but the Melon Mambo is too dark and you could see the goof on the back.  I've seen a few cards with the scallop punch in the center and so I decided to try that.  Perfection!  It covered up the goof, saved a perfectly good piece of cardstock, and I ended up with another pretty card.  Yea!

Girly Birthday Card

I love everything girly and of course pink is my favorite color.  This is another super simple card.  All you need is the Hello, Doily background stamp, a rhinestone, and a sentiment, then pick your colors, and your done!

Hello!

Today, I'm sharing more detail about a card we made at my last class.  This class featured thank you cards.  This card is made with 2 of this year's in colors from Stampin' Up!  The background color is Island Indigo.  This is such a lovely teal blue color.  I layered it with a Top Note square in Pool Party.  To create this square, I first cut it using the Top Note die.  It is then a rectangle, so I turned it sideways on the same die and lined up the points and sent it through the Big Shot again.  This creates the square shape with the pretty points.  I then stamped it using the flower and ivy stamp from the Thoughts and Prayers set in Pool Party ink.  After that, I ran it through the Square Lattice embossing folder.  I absolutely love the texture of this folder and all the neat things you can do with it.  I tied my Whisper White ribbon around the front and made a simple double knot.  The last detail was the stamped sentiment in white ink, punched out with the decorative label punch, a few rhinestones and popped up with dimensionals.  I hope you like it!
