Anyone for a Martini?

Shaken not stirred! Actually I think I was watching a James Bond movie when I made this card.

This one is made with some stamps from the new Cheers to You stamp set, as well as using papers two of the new In Colours, Tangerine Tango and Baja Breeze. The olive is coloured in with Kiwi Kiss ink and the Cheers to You greeting is also stamped in Kiwi Kiss. The background images were stamped using Versamark Ink.




Stamps: Cheers to You

Ink: Kiwi Kiss, Riding Hood Red, Basic Black, Versamark, Baja Breeze

Paper: Tangerine Tango, Whisper White, Baja Breeze

Accessories: Circle Scallop Punch, Circle Punch, Chocolate Chip ribbon, SNAIL, Blender Pens, dimensionals

New Catalogue

The new catalogue officially starts tomorrow!!

My camera is dead so I’ve scanned a few of the cards I’ve been working on. Hopefully I’ll have a new camera in a week or two so until then, I’ll be scanning cards instead.

Here’s one card using new stamp sets, In Colours and Designer Paper. I’ll upload a few more later.




The Hi image is punched out with the square scallop punch and I used a couple of dimensionals to make it stand out a bit. I love the birdie paper from the Good Morning Sunshine DSP. So cute!

Stamps: Good Friend & Say It With Scallops

Ink: Pacific Point, Tangerine Tango, Chocolate Chip

Paper: Pacific Point, Baja Breeze, Whisper White & Good Morning Sunshine Designer Paper

Accessories: Mat Pack, Square Scallop Punch, SNAIL

I actually only used white and black as I don't have any grey. It was rather difficult to photograph due to all the shiny emobssing. The black heart is also embossed.

Ink: Basic Black & Versamark

Paper: Basic Black & Whisper White

Accessories: Clear Embossing Powder, Heat Gun & the fabulous Embossing Buddy!
