Flip Twist Card

Using the Apothecary stamp to be framed in the center of the flip piece and by using the negative as well as the positive designer paper, you don't waste much!

The inside isn't finished yet, but you can see how it lines up!

Hostess: Cheerful Treat

I 'cased' this card from Chiaki and tweaked it a bit to make it my own. I don't like to 'waste' designer paper so I like to cut the papers in 3" or 4" or 6" increments if at all possible...so I found that cutting it at 4x4 was the most effective way to use this paper and still be able to create this card!

Designer Paper for Hostesses ONLY! Cheerful Treat!

Using the punch to create a negative flower!

Adding a bit of ribbon to the button is easy IF you cut the ribbon at a sharp angle to get the ribbon through the holes.  Adding dimensionals to the textured cardstock also creates more emphasis on the flower!

I love this card! Very cute and very springy!

Spring is here!

The new papers are so cute! I love the bright and cheery colors!

Using the diagonal score board to create a cross hatch pattern, and then laying the cute little rhinestones on the hearts gives this BLING!

Time passes...friendship stays

 I am really enjoying the NEW Springy papers that will be coming out next month! And the new stamp set too!  The phrase is currently in our catalog (curvy verses)...I love how whimsical this set is and the curvy verses goes along with the whimsy look of this card perfectly! 

 Combining Lucky Limeade and Pear Pizzazz, along with Pool Party and Calypso Coral, the card zings out spring!  If you look in the stores, you will see this tangerine color everywhere!
