Valentines Day 2012

While this is only the image, not the complete finished card, I wanted to share anyway.  I came across this picture in my files and realized I had never posted last years Valentine card for you.  This was an image created by Sherry Baldy.  Love her 'Big Eyed' images.  This was added to a jazzed up Red & White card and looked pretty fancy, with Blingy red hearts, etc.

Garden Collage again - the other 3 designs

OK, here are the three other cards that I had failed to post, then no more Garden Collage for a while, I promise.
This one is almost 'electric' with it's bright blue and nearly florescent green papers and embellished with the 'blue diamonds'.  How cheery.

This next one is on a white background, honest.  Have no idea why it scanned gray.  Embellished with tiny blue ribbon and the added bird again.  Doesn't show well in scans, but bird and butterfly are  lightly glittered

This last one is done in the 'Zindorf' style.  Michelle Zindorf does the most beautiful work and travels the US teaching her style.

 

Hope you enjoyed seeing the variety available with a single stamp.

More Garden Collage (Retired SU set)

I think this is the 5th design I've done with this set recently.  Guess I need to scan and post a couple of the others yet.  On both cards, the center design piece is raised above the rest of the card.  On one of them, there is truly a white border.  On the other, the black goes all the way to the edge.  I think it's a little confusing when looking at the photos.  Enjoy.
  This is the one that has the white border:

Friendship Class Card

What a fun card to create.  I am so fortunate to have Heidi Tekunoff as my Stampin Up Demo.  Aside from being an incredible person, she comes up with some of the most original creations.  This is a card we created, at one of her class meetings, using the new Chalkboard Technique.  We also used the Wood Grain embossing folder and highlighted it 'grain' of the tree by swiping our darker brown ink pad across it.  We used the SU border die and the Boho Blossom punch.  Thanks Heidi.
