FOUR FRAMES FUN!

Hi all!!! I hope you are enjoying your week - I am as the sun has been out, and it is starting to warm up! I am definitely NOT a cold weather girl, lol! Sooo, the sun on my face is wonderful and makes me happy :-)  I also found out some news about my knee this week:  I definitely have a tear in my meniscus as well as some damage to my knee cap so I will be seeing a specialist next week to see what the next step will be in making me better and getting it to stop hurting! All in all, I am starting to feel like maybe there is a light at the end of this tunnel and I can start getting my life back to normal soon....whatever that is, lol!  Meanwhile, I have been doing some stamping and having fun with the promotion stamp set and designer series paper on special this month! The stamp set is called Four Frames and the paper is called Paisley Petals and is BEAUTIFUL!! The stamp set ROCKS - there are four fun stamps in the set and they can all be punched out using the Designer Label Punch!  I have two cards to share with you today that I made using this paper and stamp set - and I am loving playing with them!  The first card uses Whisper White as the base and I embossed it using the Finial Press embossing folder.  I pulled the Peach Parfait from the patterned paper so I could use the yummy ribbon and the card stock, which I stamped with the Sanded background stamp.  Both patterned paper and card stock have been punched using the Scallop Edge punch.  And, just look at that frame from the stamp set - just soooo pretty! I stamped it on Marina Mist in Peach Parfait and then punched it out, adding some pretty pearls! Simple but pretty, and I am loving the colors!

This second card uses the same set and papers, but the emphasis of color is on the burgundy, which I love! For the base card, I embossed the Whisper White with the Perfect Polka Dots folder this time, and edge punched the papers with the Eyelet Border punch.  The frame is stamped on Whisper White using Pear Pizazz ink and then I stamped the sentiment in Marina Mist on the same color card stock, punching it out with the Small Oval punch and popping it up on dimensionals.  That yummy ribbon is the Marina Mist Satin ribbon - isn't just beautiful??!! I love that big bow, makes me happy!! :-)  This stamp set and patterned paper are a sneak peek from the new catalog that will premiere in July BUT you CAN own it right now and here is how:
