Colorful Hello Card

A couple months ago, I tried some new products. My intent was to have a simple design using a lot of colors.  I wish I had added something else - punched border or some other embellishment to make this more interesting.



Supplies:

Cardstock - Stampin' Up! Brocade Blue
Dots Stamp - Stampin' Up!
Ink and Markers - Stampin' Up!
Hello Embossing Folder - Darice

Butterfly Hi

This card is very simplistic but I love the end result.  And it was a great way to include one of my faves...butterflies!  Once again, I relied on DCWV's paper stacks for the patterned paper.  They introduce new themes so often now, I can't keep up!




Supplies:

DCWV paper stack - Garden Party
Stampin' Up! Cardstock, ink and marker - Chocolate Chip
Stampin' Up! Stitch template
Letter Stamps - Danielle Johnson Art Warehouse

Copic Markers

I completed the standard and intermediate Copic marker certification classes...finally!  I finished a couple projects that we started while in class.  I had to purchase a few more markers so I could finish the projects.  Darn!  :-)

Stitched Card

I am trying new techniques and also finding purposes for the extra embroidery thread I have from past projects. I'll have to make a lot of cards to use that extra stuff!  This is my first stitched card.

Patterned Paper - Pebbles
