Today I'm sharing 2 cards made from the same layout, both in spring colors.
Yesterday I spent the day at Kathy Winland's shoe box swap. We had 30 stampers making cards, sharing stories and eating lots of yummy food. What a fun way to spend the day! I wanted to keep my card clean & simple and easy to make. I used the color combination from the Cottage Wall DSP: Rich Razzleberry, Orchid Opulence and Old Olive. I added a little "spring" tag using the new Jewlery Tag punch. And, of course, Dazzling Diamonds glitter to the flower centers. I also highlighted the center flower by popping it up with Dimensionals.
My upline challenged us to create a card using a stamp set from the 2090-2010 Idea Book & catalog with embellishments from the Occasions mini. I used the same layout and stamp set, but the base layer is Shades of Spring DSP and I took the colors from it: Orchid Opulence, Pretty in Pink and Certainly Celery. For embellishments, I used the Pretty in Pink Sending Love Epoxy Brads and that luscious new satin ribbon in Certainly Celery. This time the Jewelry Tag punched tag says "friends" from the Tiny Tags set. When you have a good layout, go ahead use it multiple ways. It's fun and saves create time!
I'll be posting more pictures of the cards from the shoe box swap over the next week or so. So check back often for more great ideas.
Enjoy,
Lisa
