Bordering on Romance

Look at this lovely card, made with the "Bordering on Romance" stamp set from the Occasioins Mini catalog. I love this stamp set.. it is so lovely.  

We made this card at the Open House!  
Wouldn't you have loved to go home with this card?  My next Open house is coming up!  
Let me know if you can come to the Saleabration Open house on February 10 or 11!

This card is perfect for watercoloring. I first stamped in Staz on ink on watercolor paper.  (I love watercolor paper.. it makes such a difference in the end project!)  I used the Pretty in Pink and Wild Wasabi re-inkers to do the colorting.  I dropped 2 drops of the reinker onto a plate, and then used my Aquapainter to apply the color.  After it dried I applied the pearls. 

The background uses the "Netting" background stamp # 122655.  I LOVE that stamp~ it gives such a great texture! After stamping in Pretty in Pink, I then embossed with the Finial Press Embossing folder and the Big Shot.  The pink satin ribbon finishes the card.

 

Take It To Heart

Last weekend I had an Open House here in my home.  Forty of my wonderful customers came to meet the fabulous new product from the Occasions Mini catalog.  I had seven projects for everyone to make... did you miss it?  Don't miss the next one..
The Saleabratioin Open House will be Febuary 10 and 11.  Contact me if you want to come!

We made (and loved!) this card that I first saw on "Stampin' Connection"~ a site where Stampin' Up! demonstrators can find lots of ideas from other demonstrators!  

The heart image was stamped in Real Red from the Take it to Heart stamp set in the Occasions Mini, and then cut with the new Hearts Collection Farmelits die... fabulous!!!  And, see those darling little hearts embossed on the card?  They were made with the new Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, "Adorning Accents". It comes with three different accents.. so cool, and so easy!  Aren't they great? The Sentiment is from the new "Sweet Cake" stamp set, also from the Occasions mini catalog. 

Isn't this a great, and easy card?  And you can see the stamp sets below.

  

Come back tomorrow to see more from the Open House!
