The lovely Regency Park 6 X 6" Designer Series Paper #160559 creates a fun "FLOATING IMAGE" card! Simply attach assorted strips of paper to a Window Sheet #142314 leaving small regular spaces between papers. This layer was die cut with a Deckled Rectangle Die #159173. Run the die through your machine several times to cut through the Window Sheet completely. When you attach it to the card, dimensionalize it and it appears to "float!" Easy!!
I trimmed the waste and used it as an accent inside the card!

This is an elegant version of the Strip Card in my last post! These gorgeous papers are Ever Eden 12 X 12" Specialty Designer Series Paper #159996, limited edition to coordinate with Eden's Garden Bundle #157832.
The GOLD is sooo elegant!
These strips are 3/4" wide, but can be varied. Mount onto Gold Foil Paper. Start in the middle with 1 or 2 strips at an angle. Build out perpendicularly, leaving a small space between strips so the gold shows. Let strips extend beyond the edge. When done, flip over and trim off excess. It's fun. You might as well make several cards while you are at it!! TRY IT!!

Start in the middle with 1 or 2 strips at an angle. Build out perpendicularly. Let strips extend beyond the edge. When done, flip over and trim off excess. It's fun. You might as well make several cards while you are at it!! TRY IT!!

Cut your designer paper and create cards! One of my easy, eye-catching layouts is this triangluar cut: cut paper 5-1/2 x 3", then cut corner to corner to create two triangles. Assemble as shown and stamp your sentiment in the center on the base card. Base card is Crushed Curry color.

The Hydrangea Hill Suite #155985 is ELEGANT and let's you create any color blossoms you desire on card stock! These are "Z" fold cards cut 4-1/4 X 11" then scrored at 2-3/4 and 5-1/2". VERY EASY! I used the interesting Hydrangea Hill Mercury Glass Designer Acetate sheets #154574. The left one is Highland Heather color. The right one is flipped over to the silver side of the Mercury Glass Acetate.
I inked the flower image in Highland Heather and then "rolled" the edge of the image in Seaside Spray ink for a lovely realistic color combo. That is called the "ROCK & ROLL" technique.
I rarely make just one card at a time, so this one is varied from the other.
Cards this exquisite demand fancy envelopes! The top envelope has the flap covered in the Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper #154570. The lower card I created from the same Designer Papers using the border print and here is how:

What is BETTER than a Spectrum Ink Pad??? An UNINKED Spectrum Pad!! Build you own color combos for any season or occasion! How???
To select FIVE colors for your uninked pad, cut strips of cardstock colors and play till you find a combo you love and that fills your needs. I chose: Coastal Cabana, Lemon Lime Twist, Pineapple Punch, Mango Melody and Flirty Flamingo. Then grab your reinkers in those colors and create your color combo. BE SURE TO RECORD YOUR COLORS FOR LATER RE-INKING!! I wrote right on the back of the pad.
The cover of the pad has an indented slot where I added cardstock using Tear & Tape to label the colors, also. Colors at a glance!
For this card, I left the Spectrum Pad separated and place white cardstock on top of the pad. I rubbed the back of the cardstock till I started to detect the colors soaking into the cardstock from the backside. I stamped the sentiment and details from A BIG THANK YOU Stamp Set #147377 in Jet Black Momento Ink.
Lastly, I topped the layer with vellum. I love this card! Try it!!
There is nothing better than playing with NEW stamps!! I love to pull out a "suite" of products and just start creating.

NEW ink pad colors add so many more color combos for you!! This card features the products in the May Early Release Promo! The new Blueberry Bushel ink pad pairs nicely with the current Calypso Coral! These "dots" are part of the two-step images for flowers...but they stand alone very sweetly as classic polka dots!!
