The card that I made this I used the Wishes How to Book, the pattern is Top Band on pg. 100.  I used some paper from the Caboodle paper pack.  I used Sorbet, Tulip, White Daisy and Creme Brulee cardstock.  I stamped the words in Tulip ink.  The flower pot was stamped in Sorbet.  The flowers were stamped in Sweet Leaf and then paper pieced after I stamp the flowers again in Tulip.  I used the Creme Brulee marker to color them in.  I used the Creme Brulee ribbon with scrolls.  I popped the flower pot and flowers with 3d Foam squares.  The scroll border was done with a punch.

Here is a close up of the flower pot & flowers:

Happy Birthday!!

Here is a card I made for a friend's birthday this weekend.  I really liked how it turned out.

I used my Cricut to cut the card with the Wild Card cartridge.  I cut the envelope 5" and the card was cut at 4 1/2" in Juniper cardstock.  I then cut the Veranda Pattern paper the same and layed it over the top.  I cut the frame at 2 1/2" and stamped Happy Birthday in Juniper ink.  The words came from the stampset "Piece of Cake" which was a stamp of the month.  I used a sponge dauber and distressed it with Juniper ink.  The girl is from the stamp set Ms. Chillin'.  I colored her with Honey for her hair, Taffy for her skin tone, Creme Brulee' for her shirt and Juniper for her pants.  The rhinestone brads are from Stampin' Up.  I used Liquid Glass on her lips, Ipod and shoes

Creative Basic - Veranda Cards

Here are some cards that I scraplifted from the Close to my Heart Spring Catalog.  I have been eyeing these cards for sometime and the Veranda Creative Basic Paper Pack.  I just love them!

I used the Wishes Book and it was the Designer Tag pattern that I used.  I used Garden Green, Juniper and Colonial White Cardstock.  The inks I used were Creme Brulee, Juniper and Garden Green.  I used the Little Something Stamp Set.




Enjoy!
