Brewed For You

Brewed for You is an awesome set! I love that it also has the dies to coordinate with this fantastic stamp set. I'm not a big alcohol drinker. I will have a drink with friends or even with my hubby but not more than 2 ever. I still appreciate this set for everything that it is.

This first card I started by scoring the sides, top, and bottom a couple of times. I then stamped the wine glass 4 times with Stazon ink. One glass I stamped with Merry Merlot the contents of the glass. I added the greeting and bow. I added some of the Fine Tip Glue to the "wine" and allowed it to dry. This makes the stamped image look like glass. A very simple technique, if you have the patience to wait for the glue to dry!

Garden Wishes

Garden Wishes retired last May. It's a stamp/die set that I really liked but didn't use as much as I thought I would when I purchased it. This summer I decided I needed to use it a few more times before I added it to my for sale pile of goodies. Here are the results of that play time.

I challenged myself with a color combination that was a struggle too. My colors are Cinnamon Cider, Blushing Bride and Bumblebee. I added some Pear Pizzazz  because I really felt the need for a green. The greeting is hard to read on this picture. It is stamped with Blushing Bride and the angle is a challenge but the greeting is really there!

Parakeet Party

By now I'm sure you have seen the new In Colors. They are bright and fun! I have an In Color club where each month you get the cardstock, ink pad, marker, blends, designer series paper, ribbon, re-inker, glimmer paper, twine, and dots if you chose. When you are part of this club, you also get at least one card from me using the color for the month. I'm sharing with you the cards I made for Parakeet Party.

I only used Basic White and Parakeet Party for this card so that the color can stand out more. This limey green is one of my favorites! I always like when there is a limey green in our line up of colors!
