Card Set: Have a Cuppa with a Friend

Hello!

Today I have a fabulous set of notecards to share with you, all packaged up nicely in their own coordinating folder.

The original design for this set came from fellow Demonstrator Caroline Wright.
You can see her original set, using the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set here.



I know it's odd that I created a set of cards, that feature drinking Hot Chocolate, now that Spring is here :)  But, my family in New England is looking at a possible 15" of SNOW this weekend so... maybe it's not so odd :)

I just love the Cups & Kettles Framelits Dies!  I actually bought it for the little fork, knife, and spoon :)  They were too cute to pass up :)  But now that I have the set, I just love the whole thing!

My note cards are inspired by cards by fellow Demonstrator, Patty Bennett. 

I hope you have enjoyed my little set.
Stay tuned because I'm going to be showing off another set I recently created, this time using the Garden in Bloom stamp set.  


I'm going to be offering one of these Note Card sets as a Class To Go soon.  
You won't want to miss it!

You can purchase all of the supplies to create this project in my Online Store.  
I've listed them below.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!  

Happy Stamping! 
Mary

Card: Elegant Rose Garden

Hello!

I have two cards to share with you today!

The first one (with the Basic Black card base) is a CASE from Pinterest (Pinterest is addicting, isn't it?!).  



As you know, I just LOVE Black and White/Vanilla Cards.  I chose Very Vanilla for these cards as I wanted a more subdued contrast.

For the card with the Basic Black card base, you use your Rose Garden Thinlit Die to cut the Basic Black top layer.  You will pop out all of the "petal pieces", leaving just the outline.  For the Vanilla Card, use the "outline" as a template and glue the "petal pieces" down onto a Very Vanilla layer, removing the outline/template after.
  

Brushing on some Wink of Stella (Clear) to the blooms adds that dramatic touch of elegance!  

Apply it directly to the Basic Black petals on the V.V. card and onto/into the Vanilla petals on the Basic Black card. 

I love both of these cards!  
They are both unique - and, you don't waste a single bit of your card stock :)

I hope you have enjoyed my cards!

Card: Regal Botanical Gardens

Hello!

Today's card highlights the fabulous Botanical Gardens Collection from the 2016 Occasions Catalog.

I love this vine die edge die!  It is so striking in my combination of Early Espresso and Mint Macaron!

I pulled my colors from the coordinating Botanical Gardens Designer Series Paper!  Cajun Craze, Hello Honey, Mossy Meadow, and Mint Macaron.  

Although Basic Black is the background for the DSP, I chose to tone it down by using Early Espresso.  It actually coordinates beautifully!  

I hope you have enjoyed my card!
