Thistle




 This fun fold that I cased from connie stewart is one of my favorites to date.  She always has
the best tutorials and a free PDF to go with them always.  I just love watching her because I 
learn so much.  I used pool party and basic white thick cardstock for the 2 card bases, beautiful thistle
stamps and dies and deckled rectangles for the frame.  I stamped the image in memento 
black and used pool party and mint macaron stampin blends to color the images.  The sentiment is from 
the beautiful thistle stamp set as well.  I love this set, it has such beautiful images and
the dies are wonderful allowing you to cut the stamped image or a whole thistle to assemble
If it is still available it wont be much longer, all of the last chance items go away effective may 1st.
If you were thinking of getting anything now is a great time to shop!!

Just Want to Say......


 I may be hard to tell from this photo but this is a mini slimline measuring 3 1/2 x 6 1/2.  
I used stampinup art gallery stamps and dies.  I also used ornate borders dies for the DSP.  Mango melody and highland heather are the colors used and also thick white and mango melody cardstock.  The DSP is dandy delights which was free during sale a bration.  It is one of my favorite DSP's from stampin up!!

Queen Bee


 Queen Bee Happy Birthday

This is a slimline card using the stampinup queen bee stamp set and dies.  I am actually 
happy with the way it turned out.  I used Vellum for the Bee wings and basic black, daffodil delight and basic white thick cardstock.

little critters.  I am entering this card in the following challengesa:
