I had a lot of fun making this card for my sister and brother in law's anniversary. I got to use my big shot and mover and shapers die cut. I love how it turned out. Here is what it looked like from the outside:


The inside is just as pretty, with a punched out image:



The finishing touch is embossing along the bottom of the card on the inside:

Pink Passion is one of my favourite colours and I'm sad that they retired it. I bought a bunch of it, though, so I'll be able to make cards with this colour for a long time to come. I really like it with So Saffron and Apricot Appeal, another retired colour I will miss.

A big thanks to post it notes to help me make this cool Father's Day Card.

Peel away the post its and voila!

I made this card for my brother Jeff's birthday. I love using the sponging technique to make cards. They always turn out so pretty. On the whisper white, I used post-it notes to border off the image (1/2 " on top, 1/2" on left, 1 1/4" on right, 1 1/4" on bottom). Then I sponged Ballet Blue on the top part of the image and Creamy Caramel and Close to Cocoa on the bottom. I then stamped my Inspired by nature over it with Basic Black. When you peel away the post it notes, it looks great against the whisper white.

Well.. it's hard to believe, but this is my 200th design. I have made 200 different cards since I started with Stampin Up! last year. I cannot believe it.

It turned out very different from how I originally envisioned it, but that always seems to be the case.
