BLOSSOM BUILDERS - Occasions Mini 2012

My sister, Denise Foor made this pretty card using Poppy Parade and the Designer Printed Kit #125410 just $9.95 in the Occasions Mini.  The layers make this card.  Very pretty.

APOTHECARY ART -Occasions Mini

I LOVE RED and am teased that often my cards are red so I try real hard to mix it up but I cased this RED card cause I could not help myself.  Used everything from the new Occasions Mini too which is current until April 30.

Stamp:  Apothecary Art

Ink:  Cherry Cobbler (and love it)

Card Stock:  Cherry Cobbler and Whisper White

DSP:  Twitterpated and Ribbon:  Organza Whisper White

Framelits Dies:  Labels Collection and  Add two large Pearls please.  :-)

And yes I know the coordinating color is Riding Hood Red but guess what, I loved the Cherry Cobbler with it and I don't think you can tell the difference.  I think it makes the DSP pop. 

THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS

As promised another Sympathy Card shown today.  This is a very peaceful card I believe.  Recently I had a girlfriend from High School die and I sent this card to her husband.  We have lost so many from our class to cancer.  As a matter of fact, of the 17 who have passed all but 1 was from cancers.

Stamp Set:  Only one.  Thoughts and Prayers

Ribbon:  Chocolate Chip

I

I am being to hope for an early spring even though we have had a very light winter so far.  But as everyone knows, February can be like a BEAR.  I really like when Stampin' Up makes my life more manageable and having Stamp Sets and Punches that match does just that as in this Thinking of You card I made for Club.  My sister is a Demonstrator and loves the Rue Des Fleurs.  For me its a stretch but I did order the paper this time.  I am more a Twitterpated kind of gal and that is the paper I used for this card today.

Stamps:  Mixed Bunch

Punch:  Blossom

DSP:  Twitterpated with  Riding Hood Red, Basic Gray, Pear Pizzazz and Whisper White Card Stock

Inks:  Riding Hood Red, Baja Breeze, and Pear Pizzazz.

Love the new pleated ribbon too:  Blushing Bride
