Graduation time

Here are a couple of cards Margie made. She wanted to use her grandson's school colors for his graduation card. Easy to adapt the embossed squares to whatever colors you want to. Tassle was made out of embroidery floss. The other she made with the scraps from the graduation card. I think both are fantastic!

Play Ball

Robbie made this card today for her grandson's 9th birthday and I just had to share it. Made with the Happy Birthday embossing folder, Big Brads and baseball lettering.

Elegance

One paper..many different ways to use it. I had bought a package of  Michael's  Recollection "Elegance" patterned paper which included five different black/off white designs. Everyone liked the vesatility of the paper so much that they went out and got the same pack! Easy to embellish with silk flowers for beautiful cards. These five were made with the Asian floral design.

Birthdays and more Birthdays

We tried out the Happy Birthday embossing set by Sizzix and liked the way the birthday medallion embossed. On the first card the embossed brown cardstock looks like a piece of chocolate inked in white. The yellow and blue ones are chalked. Silk flowers, scallop punches, 3 layer butterflies and gems finish off the cards.

More butterfly birthday wishes from Marti with a daisy chain from and EK edger.

Marti's husband is turning 60 this week and here's the card I made for his gambling themed party.  I cut the numbers out with my Silhouette, placing the different colors behind them once it was cut. Poker chips and cards are brads. It's very 3D although it doesn't look it in the pictures.

Wedding Album

Marti created a wedding album for her mother in law of her son's beach wedding. They had a very unique color combination-peach and grey.  But, Marti did a great job working those colors into a beautful book. The EK "Flowers and Flourish" edge and corner punches added a lot to the elegance along with grey/peach silk flowers. It turned out simple and clean and very formal looking. The embellishments look orange but they are actually peach.
