Border Punch: Sympathy Card

 The border punch creates the card.  I punched both sides of the front of the card, making sure I started in exactly the same place. 

The center of the card used a border embossing folder and butterfly embosslits.  Pearls were added to the butterfly.

The sentiment is stamped in Marina Mist.

The inside of the card is white card stock, which is what makes the punched pattern stand out. 

This card is cased from Frenchie.

Thank You Wreath on a Flap

 Soft Suede and Crumb Cake were made to go together.  I used an old set - Stampin' Up's Nellie the Nest Lady from 1997.

The card base is 4.25" by 5.5".  The folding piece is 8" by 5.25", scored at 2" and 4".

I love the way the branch at the bottom still meets even though it is two different images.  What a fun card.

Hope Your Day is Purrfect

I found the cat stamp at Michael's clearance and I had to buy it!  I cut out the "hope your day is purrfect!" from the SU Long Fellows stamp set.  I added bling and corner punched the image.  Love it!

I have gotten used to using clear stamps. In fact, I make most of my wood-mounted stamps into clear mounted stamps.  I peel the rubber off the wood and attach it to my clear blocks.  I still store the stamps on their original wood blocks just for convenience.

Summer Afternoon in Wisteria Wonder

This card uses the SU set Summer Afternoon, which is a new hostess set.  I love it!

I used Wisteria Wonder and Concord Crush card stock and Concord Crush ink.  I corner-punched the lower left corner and added pearls to the lower right corner of the image. 

Birthday Blossoms - Bordering on Romance

This is the first time I have used this stamp set (SU's Bordering on Romance), but I am sure I will use it a lot more now.  I love it! 

I had to cut the border stamp to stamp the sides.  Using clear stamps makes it easy to take apart and put back together.  I colored the blossoms to add a different feel to this card.
