Tempting Turquoise

I am not sure how tempting turquoise is....maybe tantilizing or tremendous or some other "t" adjective would have worked better. However, it is a really pretty, bold blue and I love it combined with the black & white on this card. Its nice, bold & crisp..... maybe even tantilizing?

Last One For Now

Are you liking the mini cards now too?! I promise that this is the last one for a little while. This birthday one took all of 5 minutes to make. Thats my kind of card when in a hurry! I find that I just dig into my pile of scraps to put them together and then use colors to coordinate. I have way too many scraps so its a good thing when you find a way that helps use them up.

Pastel Mini

Ok, so like I said, I'm loving these mini cards! We made a bunch at one of my clubs and they were a big hit. Quick, easy, fun & pretty! This one used one of my fav Sale-a-bration stamp sets, Happy Moments. Really cute flowers that were stamped in Versamark onto Naturals White cardstock (which I like better than Whisper White because its heavier, thicker) and then we used sponges or cotton swabs to apply the Stampin' Pastels. Its fun watching the colors emerge. It gives a soft, muted image....pretty :)

Stamp Club Card

Here is one of the cards we did at Stamp Club last week. Its funny but I had the medium envelopes in the kraft color and really wanted to make a card to go with them. Call me wierd - but that was the inspiration for this card! That and the fact that I wanted to make something with the Love You Much stamp set since Valentine's Day is coming up soon.

The paper is from the Sale-a-bration catalog called Delicate Dots (114674) as well as the poly-twill ribbon in Certainly Celery ( 114618 Ribbon Bundle-So Saffron, Certainly Celery). The best part of the card is the beautiful edge made with the newest punch, the Eyelet Edge punch. Its one of my top 5 things from the new catalog. I love it and it is super easy to use. We also decorate the inside of the card and used another new item, the Three Hearts punch and punched out some more of the Delicate Dots paper. One of our club girls, Andrea, does a great job decorating the envelopes so I usually ask her to do the honors. I love the way it all goes together!
Here's the inside:
