Celebrate Cards

I wanted to create some simple cards for my next card workshop and I also wanted to incorporate the new embossing folders into them.
These cards were so simple and fun to make and I think they turned out so cute.
I used the Hooray Bouquet Stamp set and inked the edges with the same color cardstock I used. 
I also used an old stamp set Happy Birthday for the Sentiment.  I used pop dots on each flower to make it pop off the card, then I said I need some bling but want to keep it simple so I used the Clear Sparkles, the bigger ones for the center of the flowers. 





I will keep you posted on the next workshop for these Cute cards!

Thanks for stopping by to take a look!



Ivy Lane Box Card

This past Saturday was my Grandmas Birthday and I have been wanting to create one of those Box Cards that everyone is creating.  So I googled Box Card on youtube and watched a few videos and then started my card,  They are so easy to make and fun too!  I made this one using the Ivy Lane Paper and the Ivy Lane Cardmaking Workshop Stamp Set and the Holiday Tags Occasions Stamp Set I used Cotton Candy and Pear Ink.


I also added a little sparkle with the New Purple Glitter Gems, Purple is my favorite color so I just love those little gems.






These box cards are so fun to make I am planning a workshop for one in the near future so I will keep you updated.

Happy Stampin and Scrapin
