On a Pedestal

Happy Everything to You! This is another one of my favorite cards. I can't tell you who I cased it from, but I can't take credit for this one. Just taking credit for finding a beautiful card and sharing it further with you. The base of the card is Pink Pirouette which was run thru the Polka Dot Embossing Folder and tied with 5/8" Certainly Celery Satin Ribbon. The Birthday Cake was all stamped using the Stamp-A-Ma Jig beginning with the pedestal in Certainly Celery, the cake in Pink Pirouette, the sentiment in Soft Suede and finally the candles, which we used the markers to color the stamp in Certainly Celery and Daffodil Delight. To add bling, we added Rhinestones to the pedestal. I think I know a grand-daughter of mine who will really enjoy this card for her birthday. Now, if I only remember where I put it when her bithday rolls around.

Autumn Spice

Oops - I guess I'm a bit tipsey today. This photo just does not to this card justice. I have had so many compliments on this card. I think the most ever! I love it too, if I may say that myself. I don't remember the Demonstrator's name whos card I tweeked to come up with this one, so if you're out there in cyberland, thank you!

The base of the card is Early Expresso, layered on top with More Mustard which was thwacked (and yes it's a real word) with Old Olive. The top layer is a piece of the Autumn Spice (and I love that DSP). The Tree is from the Thoughts & Prayer's Stamp Set and is layered on Early Expresso, Old Olive thawacked in Early Expresso and on top is More Mustard thwacked in Old Olive. The Thinking of You (from the Oval All Stamp Set) tag is stamped in Early Expresso on More Mustard which has been thwacked in Old Olive and then layered onto an Early Expresso Scalloped Oval. The Old Olive buttons (retired last year) are threaded with ever so fine strips of More Mustard Cardstock - a trick my Downline, Kathi Rowell shared with me - and is layered onto 3/4" Early Expresso circles. Hope you enjoy this card.
