Layer Wow

Always inspired by others.  I found this layout in a blog I follow and fell in love.  Think of it this way, when someone is inspired by your work and is compelled to case your project, you are receiving a gift - a compliment.  I did not have all the accessories in the original creator's  design, so I made some adjustments.  The fun part of this card was creating with multiple layers, they give the card elegance.

All Stampin' Up! supplies were used...however I created this card this past summer and I forgot most of the details of supplies used.  Papers: Crumb Cake, Basic Black, Newsprint DSP, Vellum; Ink:  Crumb Cake, Staz On Jet Black; Tools:  Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder; Accessories:  Very Vanilla Taffeta Ribbon, Mini Library Clip; Stamp Set:   Artistic Etchings.

Let's be thankful for everyone that influences us in our lives.

Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Stamping - April

On A Snowy Day...

I decided to share something with a hint of Spring.

I created this card during my recent girls weekend with T-n-T.   My goal was to use retired ribbons, papers and accessoris; so you will notice on recent and soon to be posts I will note the retire itms used.  I liked this color combination, fresh and simple.  I also used craft ink to color the pretties kit flower and the bitty buttons added some "pop" to the design.

Stampin' Up! supplies used:  Paper-So Saffron, Whisper White, Retired Hostess DSP paper; Ink-So Saffron, Basic Gray, So Saffron Craft Ink; Accessories-Clear Bitty Buttons and Retired So Saffron Ribbon and Pretties Kit Flower.

Happy Stamping - April
