Simple Love

Need a simple wedding or anniversary card??? This was a quick card that still does the job. Gold is "back in," which is great, because if I stick with what I like, eventually "fashion" agrees with me periodically. :-)

The Large Polka Dot embossing folder is becoming a favorite, and of course the Little Letters Thinlits are *awesome*! Add a little gold baker's twine, and the card is ready to go!

Summer Sunshine for PPA 211

Yellow is my very very favorite color, so I couldn't resist the color challenge over at Paper Pals Arts, PPA 211. I combined 2 sets for this card--Kinda Eclectic and Ray of Sunshine. The Large Polka Dot folder and a few sequins helped add some texture. Here is the inside:

Paper Pumpkin Bonus card

This card is made with parts of the July Paper Pumpkin kit, with just a few extras! I used the Banner Punch on leftover bits of the Paper Pumpkin Designer Papers, then stamped the "party" stamp to create an invitation (or birthday!) suitable any time. A great side benefit of the kits is that you accumulate great stamps and ink spots (the miniature version, no longer available in the catalog) to use in other projects.
