50 and Fabulous

A friend turned 50 this week and I had a special cookie stack made for her from Paradise Sweets!

I happened to receive some lavender roses a day before I gave the gift. The flowers came arranged in cellophane and netting. I re-used the netting to wrap the white bakery box, tied it with some organza ribbon and added my home made tag using Silver 1/8" ribbon.

My tag base is Wisteria Wonder card stock die cut with the Apothecary Accents Framelit. I stamped the sentiment in Wisteria Wonder ink onto Whisper White card stock and then cut it using another Apothecary Accents Framelit. I decorated it with Basic Rhinestones and then adhered it to the base. I added the "5-0" cut from Silver Glimmer paper using the Tyepset Alphabet Bigz die. 

I hope you liked seeing my project and that you will leave your comments, which I LOVE to read!

Heartfelt

It's Friday! I hope you have a wonderful weekend planned. If you don't, it isn't too late to MAKE some plans! Today's card was meant to be elegant. Inside will be a personal message that fits right in with the sentiment: HEARTFELT.

I began by die cutting a piece of Cherry Cobbler card stock using the Apothecary Accents Framelits. I snipped off the pieces show above.

Next, I stamped onto Whisper White card stock using Cherry Cobbler Ink. I trimmed the same die cut on the sides, as well as the same snips I took off the Cherry Cobbler shape.

I added a "frame" in Basic Black using the Labels Collection Framelits. Three pearls on each side and a Crumb Cake background textured with the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder, and hello elegant!

"For You" Anniversary

My sister and her husband are celebrating a special anniversary, so I made this card. I kept it simple, but I really LOVE this Framelit from Apothecary Accents. It cuts out so smoothly and makes your card element look so professional! 

This stamp from Layered Labels has a lot of solid space in the background. When using the NEW Stampin' Pads, the ink coverage is much better, but this time I used one of our older pads. Still lookin' good!

Thank you for stopping by and I REALLY appreciate all of the nice comments on the Blog Hop yesterday! I love to read them all and they make me smile!

Denim and Diamonds Congratulations!

Hello! Lots of folks will be graduating this month and next, so I thought I'd show you one of the cards I made for a friend who is graduating from college. I used school colors, of course, and some of the sneak peek products from the upcoming 2012 Catalog.

I love how the denim ribbon looks against both the Night of Navy and the Tangerine Tango designer paper. I added the "diamonds" as a dressy contrast to the casual ribbon.

Now for those new products! I love this sentiment from Layered Labels. There are four labels in the set, each elegant and luscious in their own right! You can see that I have used the new Apothecary Framelits to precisely cut around the stamped image! The second of the four Framelits was used with the striped Tangerine Tango designer paper to add some contrast. I LOVE these shapes! You will be able to order these stamps and Framelits June 1st.
