Sympathy: Sharing in Your Sorrow

I absolutely love how this card went together.  I seldom use River Rock, but it really accented the Night of Navy.  The tulip frame folder makes the card simple, yet elegant.

Gift Card Holder with Hidden Surprise

 

Even though this card looks clean and simple, it isn't!  There is a rotating gift card holder under the decorated layer.  You pull a ribbon tag to reveal the gift card!  I totally cased this from my SU demonstrator Sue Begger.  Thanks, Sue!

The tulip frame embossing folder makes the perfect frame for the holder.  I used SU! Island Indigo and Whisper White for the card stock.  The designer paper is The Paper Studio from Hobby Lobby.  

I love the design of this card!

Just For You: Tulip Frame

The tulip frame embossing folder is so elegant! I used the new Stampin' Up! stamp set Simply Soft, using a darker blue for the stems and a lighter blue for the petals. The flowers were punched and bling added. The sentiment was put on dimensionals and bling added.

This card is pure elegance.

Just For You Blossoms

Orchid Opulence is used for the card base. The tulip frame embossing on white card stock adds such elegance to the card. I used the apple blossom stamp, colored, layered, and added bling. I also layered the sentiment with the label and word window punches.

Birthday: Apple Blossoms in Pink

A good friend of mine has a birthday this week. I chose pink and rose for the card stock. I used Stampin' Up's Tulip Frame embossing folder, Easter Blossoms stamp set, and word window and label punches. I colored the blossoms and mounted the pieces on dimensionals. I added bling to the blossoms for a little sparkle.

Mother's Day

This card utilized new (for me) stamps, embossing folder, and a punch. I used Wild Wasabi and white card stock. The tulip frame embossing folder has such a great impression. I also just received the four frames stamp set and the decorative label punch. Boy, did I use a lot of new items!

The wild wasabi green decorative label punches are from the same punch as the white. I cut two pieces diagonally and pulled them out just a bit to look like layering. I mounted the punched label piece on dimensionals and added bling.
