Lovely Trio

In just a few short hours ordering can begin from the NEW 2017-2018 Annual Catalogue.  If you need a copy of the new 2017-2018 Annual Catalogue, email me and I'll let you know how you can receive one.   I will have the link up in my sidebar sometime tomorrow.
To kick-off the catalogue launch, I made this lovely set of cards.  I have to say, I truly like the combination of colors in the new Color Theory DSP.   But I like the paint color chip patterns even better!  I wanted the focus of my cards to be on items from the new catalogue.  In addition to the Color Theory DSP, here you see the Lovely Inside & Out stamp set for background and sentiment and the coordinating Lovely Words Thinlits.  I used a slightly bigger heart from the Sweet & Sassy Framelits to cut out the lovely heart.  Using Whisper White cardstock and sponged-on ink is another way to get that ombre look.  A Basic Black layer beneath makes that color really POP!

Sparkle Alert!!!  Look at the new Glitter Enamel Dots! 
You get 4 colors: the three colors I've used & old olive, in ombre hues.  As the colors fade, so do the sizes, getting smaller and lighter.  GENIUS!

Eastern Palace Suite



 The Eastern Palace suite is absolutely gorgeous!  The colors, the patterns, the Thinlits and oooohhhhh......those tassels!  Oh, and the gold stickers.  OOH LA LA!


One of the many things I love about the stamps and Thinlits dies of this set is you can satisfy your need to stamp, by detailing the die cuts with the small accent stamps.  But these dies are so pretty and intricate on their own, that a solid cardstock is just as beautiful.


This Eastern Palace suite is absolutely gorgeous!
There are two EXCLUSIVE BUNDLES available through May 31st:



All of the items shown in the bundles will be available individually beginning June 1st.  And yes, the stamps and Thinlits will be available as a Bundle.

Starry Congrats Card



The Stars Framelits are retiring!  This is one of those sets that I find I use year-round...birthdays, Christmas, Fourth of July.  Here, I used them for a graduation card.  


The Fabulous Foil Designer Acetate was an afterthought, and I just love how it looks on this card.  I watercolored the bottom layer with Delightful Dijon and brushed on some stripes with the same color Stampin' Write Marker.  It was too blah looking, so I then brushed over it with Clear Wink of Stella.  Still not satisfied, I added a bit of Dazzling Details to the stripes.  Okay, getting there, but still looked a little drab.   That's when I decided to add the foil acetate.  Wow, much better!


The sentiment is from the Happy Happenings stamp set, which is also retiring.  It's also time to bid farewell to Delightful Dijon.

Balloon Pop-Up Thinlits


I know I said I was done with balloon cards, but this one has been laying on my work table for two weeks, waiting to be completed. The inside was all done, but I guess I lost some steam after that and left the card front blank. After much procrastination, it finally has a face. After heat-embossing the sentiment, I used the Sponge Brayer to add some strokes of color, in Pacific Point, Crushed Curry and Emerald Envy. Easy peasy.


 Here's a tip: Stamp and heat-emboss sentiment first. Then sponge on the color and remove any ink from the surface of the embossed image with a soft cloth or tissue. Or, if you're like me, use your finger! HA!
