Texture-Texture-Texture

I love my new texture plates... they really dress up a card. This card was made using the flower from 'Best Wishes & More' stamp set. I used black and Sahara Sand cardstock. The flower is embossed with clear embossing powder and Versamark. I used the Friend and Distressed texture plates and of course a little dazzling diamonds for that bit of bling!

Very Versatile

I've been playing around a lot with my new texture plates. I saw a card awhile back on SCS that I fell in love with... This is my take on it. This is also one of the samples I made for my sister's Wedding Invitations. The stamped image is from the Friends 24-7 stamp set. The paper is Sahara sand and Very vanilla.

Baja Basket

I made this cute little basket as a thank-you for a customer. I just love the new oval set and oval scallop punch (available April 1st). Baja and black has also become one of my new favourite colour combos.

Swaps for Regional

I decided to do 2 swaps for the Stampin' Up Regional. I did a little chocolate chip basket decorated with an appricot appeal flower. The other card used my favourite colour combo... chocolate chip and pink pirouette along with the little leaves sizzlit die cut. I made 15 baskets and 20 of the little leaves card (all in one day). I had them all swapped in less than 15 minutes-should have made more!
