Lattice Edge Thank You! FMS86

One of my fellow demonstrators shared a card with this Lattice Edge Technique and I HAD to try it.   It is a very simple technique, with a huge WOW effect!   My monthly club made this card below yesterday and it was a big hit!!    The layout of the card was inspired by the sketch on Freshly Made Sketches blog.

Instructions for the card can be found on the following two blogs:  Stamps to die for! and Brandyscards.com

Hope you enjoy the card!

Washi Tape Cards -- FTL240

Saw this sketch challenge on Clean&Simple blog and automatically went for my Stampin Up! Washi Tape.   I used both the Epic Day This and That and the Gingham Garden Designer Washi Tape for these cards.  The Washi Tape is new to Stampin Up and I LOVE it; it is so easy to work with and you can even stamp on it!!  
Please enjoy these two simple but elegant cards (one feminine and one masculine).

Sweet Essentials Banner Card

Anne Matasci (fellow demonstrator) made very simple but elegant banner card and had to case it.   These are my Modified Cased cards for my May classes!   This is just one reason why I LOVE Stampin Up! and the team I am involved in; there are so many creative ladies that share what they love.  

The Flower Trim (Item#126869 $6.95) was colored with our Stampin Spritzer (in Raspberry Ripple) and than I used some Frost White Shimmer Paint on a Sponge Dauber to give it some "shimmer".    I really like the final product and hope you do too!!  Enjoy!

Twirly-Whirly Birthday

Figured I would make a nice and bright fun card since it's cloudy and rainy today.   Hope it brings a smile to your face as it did mine!   

This card is for my May classes -- this is the last month for the Spring Catalog and I hadn't yet played with the Pinwheel Sizzlit.   I also used a sponge dauber to highlight the embossed clouds in the background to make the "Pop".    SO CUTE!!!   Definitely two items I will keep after they retire . . . .
