Lovely As a Tree

Lovely As a Tree
Lovely As a Tree has been around for a long, long time. If you always wanted it but haven't purchased it yet you'll be happy to know that it is now available in clear. The wood-mounted set is $27.95 but the clear-mounted set is only $19.95. Time to rethink this purchase!

Love this as a masculine card. To me, guy cards are the hardest to creatively design. But - just because it is a masculine card, doesn't mean it doesn't get a little bling - dazzling details was added to the leaves.

Stamp set(s): Lovely As a Tree, Bring On the Cake
Papers: whisper white, more mustard, chocolate chip, crumb cake
Inks: chocolate chip, more mustard, cajun craze, always artichoke
Punches: decorative label
Big Shot: labels collection framelits, houndstooth embossing folder
Embellishments: button, dazzling details glitter

French Foliage $14.95 (C)
The leaves have started falling at my house. They were the inspiration for this card using the "French Foliage" stamp set from the SU! 2012-2013 catalog. It's a great set for making your own background paper!

The ribbon on this card is SU!'s 7/8" Cotton Ribbon - a stampable fine cotton texture. I stamped the ribbon with the same color of ink used in the card - what a way to complement the images and colors used to make the card.

Stamp sets: French Foliage, Loving Thoughts
Papers: Early Espresso, Raspberry Ripple, Very Vanilla
Inks: Early Espresso, Raspberry Ripple, More Mustard, Lucky Limeade
Punches: Square
Big Shot: Woodgrain embossing folder
Embellishments: 7/8" Cotton Ribbon, Designer Printed Brads

Happy Fall Y'all

This cool weather makes me want to stay in, drink cocoa and curl up on the coach with a comfy blanket. It is my favorite time of the year! So now I'm inspired to make fall cards. I love using purple in combination with traditional fall colors.....

Four Seasons
Rich Razzleberry works nicely with Pumpkin Pie and Crumb Cake. I added just a touch of Baja Breeze also.

The stamp set is "Four Seasons" which is a hostess set. It is $24.95 value for only $15 for the hostess of a $150 qualifying workshop. Great Deal!!

Stamp Set: Four Seasons
Inks/Papers: Rich Razzleberry, Pumpkin Pie, Baja Breeze, Soft Suede and Crumb Cake
Punches: Scallop (2-3/8"), Circle (2-1/2" and 1"), Square
Big Shot: Elegant Lines Embossing folder
Accessories: ribbon, buttons and baker's twine

Circle Circus Christmas

My Circle Circus Christmas Card



Found this idea on Pinterest - love the Circle Circus stamp set used as a Christmas card.

I used the Sassy Salutations stamp set for the sentiment (which is my favorite sentiment set) because I think its font style better fits the art style of Circle Circus. Colors are Lucky Limeade and Cherry Cobbler. DS paper - Festival of Prints. And of course - bling!!
