#imbringingbirthdaysback with Abstract Impressions

Posted on by

I’m loving the new shades of purple that we have to choose from – of course I’m bias since purple is one of my favorite childhood colors. LOL! So I couldn’t help reaching for it to stamp today’s card that is going out to everyone who has a September birthday.

I’ve got my stack all ready to go

If you’d like a birthday card from me too. Why not email me at [email protected] your name, address, phone number and of course birthday. Since we’re all 29 no need to include the year, that is unless you want to 🙂

I’ve also whipped up a quick tutorial for you so you can make some too. Why not check it out?

Artistically Asian and more

Posted on by

Today’s cards have a decidedly Asian feel to them. It’s one of those sets that I had to take another look at after seeing cards created with it. I found I especially love the sentiments contained in this set.

Check out these cards made with the set. This first one uses simple circle created with our punch and used as a mask to create a lovely back drop for the silhouette image.

And how about with one done on our Glossy Card stock (144240) with Brusho Crystal Colour  (144101) and our Stampin’ Spritzers (126185).

We’ve got another great set called All the Good Things (146555/146558).

It’s got some wonderful sentiments too. And here is a lovely card done in Crumb Cake and Garden Green.

So simple but lovely – can you see all the texture? Torn edge and the Garden Green has been run through the Big Shot with the Subtle Embossing Folder (143706).
