Love & Laughter Cake

I just love the images made up of words in the Love & Laughter wedding set! The cake fit perfectly on the Window Framelit die cut...love that too! What I don't love is the bad quality photo I took before sending off this card. Oh well...have a look anyways.

I used the beautiful new Lacy Brocade Embossing Folder for the background and the new Festive Paper Piercing Pack to easily add the piercing on the Brushed Silver layer. The stamped images are embossed with Silver EP. The sheer white ribbon is lined with silver and went perfectly with the rest of the card...not sure where I got it, it's been in my stash for a while.

Hope your day is filled with love & laughter!

Floral District Happy Hour

It's been a while since I stamped and posted anything, but I had to create a fun card for a friends upcoming birthday, so it was just the excuse I needed to get in my studio and stamp! I used the super cute set Happy Hour along with a few goodies from the new Holiday Mini Catalog.

I used the new Window Frames Framelits to cut out the two layering shapes and then the Festive Paper Piercing pack to easily add some detail. I colored the glass image with my VersaMarker (which unfortunately is retired from SU!...but you could use a blender pen and VersaMark re-inker to do this) and embossed it with Clear EP to make it shiny like a glass...see the close up when the light hits it.

I got my color combo of Baja Breeze, Rose Red, Rich Razzleberry & Tangerine Tango from the fun print in the Floral District pack of DSP. I was also inspired by a M&T shown in a recent Stampin' Success for my layout. Even with all this inspiration, since I hadn't stamped for a while it seemed to take me forever just to create this one card! Tomorrow one of my friends is coming over to stamp, so hopefully I will find my mojo and have more to share here again soon.

Hope you are enjoying the summer! Thanks for stopping by today!
