Sweet Essentials Banner Card

Anne Matasci (fellow demonstrator) made very simple but elegant banner card and had to case it.   These are my Modified Cased cards for my May classes!   This is just one reason why I LOVE Stampin Up! and the team I am involved in; there are so many creative ladies that share what they love.  

The Flower Trim (Item#126869 $6.95) was colored with our Stampin Spritzer (in Raspberry Ripple) and than I used some Frost White Shimmer Paint on a Sponge Dauber to give it some "shimmer".    I really like the final product and hope you do too!!  Enjoy!

Twirly-Whirly Birthday

Figured I would make a nice and bright fun card since it's cloudy and rainy today.   Hope it brings a smile to your face as it did mine!   

This card is for my May classes -- this is the last month for the Spring Catalog and I hadn't yet played with the Pinwheel Sizzlit.   I also used a sponge dauber to highlight the embossed clouds in the background to make the "Pop".    SO CUTE!!!   Definitely two items I will keep after they retire . . . .

Meet the 13-14 In Colors - CTS#26

Decided to play along with the Sketch from CAS(E) this Sketch blog.    I love how clean and simple the sketch is.  Made it very easy for me to make my Sneak Peek cards of the 2013-2014 In Colors!!   I took the ink pad and "swiped" it across the Whisper White cardstock and than stamped my sentiment (Really Good Greetings-3 of the 6 shown below) and used the window framelits to cut them out.
