Dahlia Fold

My card today uses paper that will be retiring at the end of the month called Lap of Luxury. I used the Dahlia Fold to make my focal point using the 1 3/4 inch circle punch. I am really happy with how it turned out! The sentiment I used is from a retiring set called Great Friend. I love this stamp set and am so sorry to see it go. I will have to find a new favorite in the new catalog which goes live on July 1st! I have used "for you" on so many cards. I stamped it on the 1 3/8 x 5/8 punch which is also retiring. If you would like to place an order you can either click the Order Online button on the left side of my blog or email me using the button on the right. Thank you for stopping by and have a great day!

For You

I have received my shipment of new items from the catalog but I haven't had a chance to create anything yet! I am hoping to play will all of my new fun stuff today. I am most excited about the pearls and rhinestones!! If you missed them, they are on page 188 in the new catalog!

Here is a card I made several weeks ago for a workshop. It uses the Island Oasis Designer Paper from the Summer Mini. I love this paper and will be sad when it goes away on August 31st. The stamp set I used was Tropical Party. It is a very quick and easy card to make except that you have to cut the flowers out which really goes pretty quickly. I popped up the top flower and the one on the right with dimensionals. Thanks for stopping by! I am off to play with my stamps!
