Detailed Dragonfly meets Rose Garden

Sweet Sugarplum Treat

I did something I've never done before for this card. First I picked an embossing folder, then a stamp set followed by a set of dies and a pack of DSP. Laid them out on the table and low and behold this is what I created.  As I've never tried this method of card making before I was pleased with the outcome. Might try the same method for a male card next time so keep watching.

Just for a change everything is available now and in the up coming catalogue due out next month except for the DSP that will retire on 31st May.

The materials used are:

Card stock: Shimmery White, Soft Sky, Sweet Sugarplum, Vellum

Ink: Sweet Sugarplum, VersaMark

DSP: Falling in Love

Stamp sets: Dragonfly Dreams

Embossing folders: Seaside

Embossing Powders: Clear

Thinlits: Detailed Dragonfly, Rose Garden

Punches: Banner Triple

Accessories: Basic Pearls, Dazzling Diamonds, Wink of Stella

Will be back again soon with more cards

Grateful Bunch meets Rose Wonder

For Someone Special

I am still trying to use DSP and ribbon as I have a cupboard full and don't usually tend to go for it, but one of my NEW YEAR resolutions was to try, so here goes.  It's handy to have old DSP as a lot of the main colours are not included in up to date DSP, they tend to be the new colours.
This card was made for someone I've known now for a few years and really enjoy being with so wanted a nice bright happy card, as she brightens my life up when I see her.

The materials used are:

Card Stock: pear pizzazz, pool party, whisper white

Card Base: NSU

DSP: frosty white (retired), sycamore street (retired)

Ink: pool party, rich razzleberry, tangerine tango, versa mark

Stamp Sets: grateful bunch, rose wonder

Embossing Powder: pool party (retired)

Punches: blossom bunch

Framelits: secret garden (retired)

Thinlits: rose garden

Ribbon: ruffled (retired)

Accessories: basic pearls

Will be back again soon with more cards
