Greenhouse Garden

I just love this stamp set! This is the Greenhouse Garden set and it is a "2-Step" stamping set, which means the main flowers (lighter solid parts) are stamped first, and then the darker 'veins' are stamped on after. Gives a really nice effect!

Here is another nifty idea to do with your border punches. Fold the paper in half and then use the border punch (here we used the Scallop Trim Border punch), and then unfold, and tada! You can now weave your ribbon through it and tie a pretty bow!

Peace Within

Here is another card made with the "Peace Within" stamp set that I think could be used for either a man or a woman.
We also offset the length of the front to add a little interest and show off our birthday message!

Isn't this a cute card? This nifty little card is called an "easel card", and a simple brad and a few quick folds is all there is to it! A perfect way to add a different twist to a card and really show off your message!

Add some "Punch" to your cards!

Here we made great use of Stampin' Up!'s double sided paper (DSP) and the "Large Oval", "Scalloped Oval" and "5-Petal Flower" punches to make this fresh, Spring-y card!
We also dry embossed the flower petals to give them dimension and pop off the page.

Bride/Groom Specialty paper

This "Bride", "Groom", and "Bridesmaid" line of Specialty papers are often overlooked as the catalogue doesn't do them justice. They truly do have to be seen in person to see just how elegant and classy they really are!
We used the Sizzix Bigz die, "Lattice" to make this simple but elegant card, using papers from both the "Bride" (white) and "Groom" (black) paper packs.


Here is a closeup to show the detail in the paper. Isn't it gorgeous?!
