CARD FOR HOUSEKEEPING AT MY WORK

One of the housekeepers where I work asked me to make her a general card.  I was a little stumped, only in that she wanted to send it to a friend who is a man.  I'm hoping this will work.  Everyone knows I make cards and loves them.  I wish I had more time to make for everyone who wants one.  This lady works really hard and I know it will mean a lot to her.  I used the stamp set Upsy Daisy which I love.  This will certainly be one of those timeless stamp sets you reach for again and again. 

My ink color and card stock color is marina mist.  I love this color.  I also did some embossing with my Big Shot and used some smooch spritz to shimmer up the card a bit.  The thinking of you is from sincere salutations.

CARDS FROM BEV'S CLASS

For those of you who were not at Bev Cvach's house a week ago, here is one of the cards we did. I just love the Upsy Daisy Set. It is really great. The Flowers were stamped with Baja Breeze for a tone on tone effect. The sentiment on the card is from the same stamp set. The envelopes were also stamped with the flowers, but after stamping once, I "huffed" on my stamp to moisturize what ink was still left on it and then stamped the flowers again slightly over to the right. It gives it a nice shadow type effect.
The brown card stock is chocolate chip and I used the scallop edge border punch to create the scallop. I wheeled the retro mix wheel in craft white ink over it. Wow! dramatic effect. The sentiments on the envelopes are from sincere salutations.

The group at Bev's house was super. They were a mix of first time and experienced stampers. Everyone had a great time. There were 12 of us there and we made two cards and a project. It was such a lovely evening and Bev is a super hostess. I hope to meet up with this group again.
The other card we did is posted here.

ANOTHER SWAP CARD for SCS DINNER SWAP

We needed to make 51 cards for the SCS (Splitcoast Stampers Dinner Swap) tonight. I copied this card I made for a wedding and instead made it a thank you card. The card base is basic black card stock. I next layered it with whisper white card stock that was run through the Big Shot using the SU! embossing folder called Finial Press. Do you notice that I have been using it quite a bit because I think it is just lovely and goes with so many things - it really enhances your cards when they are embossed with the Big Shot. The image is upsy daisy that is stamped twice in white craft ink on Bermuda bay card stock that I layered with basic black. The daisies are highlighted with dazzling diamonds glitter using a two way glue pen also by SU!.
