Sunburst Birthday

Ready for another new sample??  You may be noticing a trend here with my cards this week....I am currently obsessed with the SUNBURST THINLIT and SWIRLY BIRD.



I also can't get enough of the new In Color PEEKABOO PEACH.  It's so gorgeous paired with POOL PARTY so be prepared to see lots of these two colors!



This card ended up being mostly die cuts and very little stamping by time I was done.  It all started with the SWIRLY SCRIBBLES THINLITS.  I added vellum and Pool Party waves behind the sunburst and a swirly on top of it.  I also added in a few silver clouds that were fussy cut from the SHINE ON DSP.



For the sentiment, I used a retiring set, RAY OF SUNSHINE.  The sentiments are fantastic paired with the SUNBURST SAYINGS BUNDLE.  Like I've said before, I love how the different stamp sets work together and compliment each other.  You may also notice the sentiment is white embossed on black cardstock.  This look just pops against the softer pastel colors....I can't get enough of this look!

I hope you are enjoying all the previews of upcoming stamp sets, I love playing with all the pre-order products!

Peekaboo Peach Sunburst

I have a super fun card to share today combining a couple of my current favorite products, SWIRLY BIRD and the SUNBURST THINLIT.



This card just makes me HAPPY!  I love the cloud pattern from the SHINE ON DSP.  I just got this specialty designer paper and now I'm wishing I'd bought it much sooner!  It's so fun to use, the patterns are gorgeous!  This cloud paper is my favorite, I could use a whole pack of just it!



I think that I've found a new favorite color combo when making this card.....POOL PARTY and the new PEEKABOO PEACH In color.  Aren't these just fantastic together??  The kraft cardstock works well with both colors too.  And the little touch of silver with the clouds and sequins makes this card perfect in my eyes!



I used the SUNBURST THINLIT cut down to make a sun shape with one of the swirly stamps from SWIRLY BIRD in the center.  I went a little overboard with the small swirly stamp and created a background on the Pool Party card base.  I peppered some small stars on there as well from BALLOON CELEBRATION.  But the icing on the cake for me is the sentiment from SUNBURST SAYINGS.  I love the contrast of the white embossing on black cardstock against all the lighter colors.

As you can tell, I am having lots of fun with all the NEW goodies I just got in my New Catalog pre-order.  In fact, my card set for the MAY MINI SESSION from Create with Connie and Mary is complete and written up......I can't wait for you to see it!  I have lots more to come to be sure to check back for the sneak peek I have coming up for the May Mini Session.

Sunburst Sayings for Graduation

May is here and so is GRADUATION.  I have some great ideas for you to say congratulations to friends and family in a very sparkly way!

I told you these cards sparkled!  There's lots of bling going on here to celebrate the big day!

The first card is the one I shared the other day that I made for my Dad's birthday.  I patterned the others after this one, just changed up the sentiments.



On this one I used a retired set from last year, Hooray it's Your Day.  This particular sentiment really fit the bill for what I needed.



The final card has another retired sentiment.  I used Perfect Pairings, it has a great bold "Congrats" in the set that says it all!



All three cards have the same design, just different sayings.  This is an easy template for any type of event you need.  Just change up the greeting and add as much bling as you like!

Speaking of bling, I've been working on my card set for the May Mini Session from Create with Connie and Mary.



I am using NEW products and can't wait to share all the cards with you!  Stay tuned for a sneak peek for this month's session, it's on it's way!  We are using all NEW PRODUCTS from the upcoming catalog.  Trust me, you are going to LOVE everything about this new catalog, I have a wish list a mile long!!  So, go check out all the details about the MAY MINI SESSION at Create with Connie and Mary, I hope you'll join us!

Shine

For my Dad's birthday, I decided to do a card that was unique.  Guess what came to mind?  SUNBURST SAYINGS.  This bundle is just too much fun and there are many, many ways to use it.  I showed you a masculine card with the SUNBURST THINLIT on Sunday where I cut the rays into a circle.  This time I'm cutting it down in a different way.

Isn't this a fun card!  I love the sentiments in this set, they are great for many occasions.

There's lots of shine going on for sure!  I heat embossed gold splotches on the white cardstock using GORGEOUS GRUNGE and the spots from SUNBURST SAYINGS.  I love the speckled look behind the gold glimmer sunburst...it really takes it to the next level!

I toned down the bling a little by using Basic Black as my accent color.  The black keeps the gold from being overwhelming...I think I reached a good balance!  I did have to add in some sequins (couldn't help it!) and embossed the envelope as well.  It all coordinates beautifully!  I wish I had taken a picture of the inside before I sent the card out, I added embossing there as well.



How about some bright and shiny news??  The NEW CATALOG PRE-ORDER has started! (A great perk to being a demonstrator!) I ordered mine yesterday and can't wait until it's delivered TOMORROW!!  Yep, I splurged on 2nd day shipping so I can get my hot little hands on the goodies ASAP!  I need to get creating right away, the May CREATE WITH CONNIE AND MARY MINI SESSION will be all about the NEW PRODUCTS!!
