Wings Circle Cards

I finally went to a scrapbooking retreat, and I figured I may as well use up some of my older papers.  Here's a couple of circle cards I made using the Wings paper and Wings Creative Basics.  Colours are Juniper, Olive, Vineyard Berry, and Black.

Stella!!!

I love the new Stella paper from Close To My Heart.  It is vibrant and fun, and can be used for so many different projects. 

These are the cards my workshop group made last week.  The first project was a Valentine's Day card.  I love the Lagoon and Tulip colours together, and I think this card could definitely be given to anyone, regardless of age or gender.  The baker's twine is a new product from CTMH - comes in a package of 4 tropical colours, as well as a package of 4 neutral colours.  The heart is from the Hearts Dimensionals chipboard accents, and I used a foam-sticker on the back to raise it up.  I covered the heart with the tulip Stella patterned paper, then cut around and sanded the edges.  I used the Token Alphabet for the letters in L-O-V-E.  As usual, I added a ton of bitty sparkles too!



 The other card we made was also using the Stella paper pack, but used only the neutral patterned paper, along with Sunset, Chocolate and Lagoon cardstock.  The striped chocolate and colonial white ribbon is fantastic, and adds tons of dimensional to your project, whether you're laying it flat (as shown), or tying it in a bow.  The flower stamp and 'Congratulations' are from the new stamp set Card Word Puzzle.  It is extremely versatile, and it comes with many phrases you can tailor to your needs.  I used a water pen on the flower to blend Bamboo and Sunsets inks, and I also sponged Sunset ink around the edge of the flower.  Thanks for looking!  I'll be posting Easter cards using the Lucy paper pack soon!

Sonoma Workshop Cards

These are some cards made using the Sonoma Level 2 paper packet from Close To My Heart.  I absolutely love green and purple together!  These cards are definitely different from other styles I've done, but I'm pretty happy with how they turned out.  I think my favourite is the one resembling a quilt.

All supplies used are from Close To My Heart, except the scallop punch is from Marvy Uchida and the source of the brown twill ribbon is unknown.  The cute resin flowers and the crystal charm are from the CTMH Heirloom Assortment. 

The stamps used are Tailor-Made, Card Chatter - Sympathy and Sweet Memories.  The colours used are Bamboo, Olive and Smokey Plum.  This paper pack will be available until July 31, 2012.
