2 New cards

I used the "B is for Boys" cricut cartridge, Happy Birthday cuttlebug folder, and I cut paper into rectangles for the blocks before I embossed the paper. I then lightly sanded it, to bring out the design.

This next card, I used some dollar stamps and the background paper is from Cosmo Cickets "Get Happy". The solid cardstock, ribbon, and scallop punch are from Stampin' Up!

Misc cards

Here are a few cards I made recently

Stamping my own background paper

I have a ton of paper for scrapbooking and card making, but sometimes I still like to design my own. Here is a piece of paper I stamped and then some items I made out of it. 

Stampin' Up! inks used were Rich Razzleberry, Melon Mambo, Crushed Curry and Kiwi Kiss

Stampin' Up! scallop border punch

This little birdie is from the Create A Critter cartridge

This sentiment is from the Doodletype cartridge. I also used the Sizzix Top note die from Stampin' Up!

This sentiment is from the Stamping cartridge

I decorated a pillow box here and made a tag (Stampin' Up! die cut and punches)

Here all all the items using one sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 paper

New EK Success Border Punch

I got the new border punch and had to make a card with it right away. I love this punch! It is huge and a little hard to punch, but definitely worth it. I used paper from the Sweet Stack from DCWV, and from Stampin' Up! ~ Pretty in Pink, Real Red and Chocolate Chip. I used both tag punches from SU also. The scalloped border is punched from a SU punch.
I took a little time and put background paper behind the cupcakes, and pop dotted them. I also just took a picture of what the border looks like cut out in white cardstock.

Pagoda Cartridge ~ Side step card

Robyn, (mypinkstamper) had a DT call, so here was my entry. We were only allowed to send in one picture, which makes it hard to see a 3-D object. I didn't make it on the team, but I had fun making the card anyway.

Mariposa Cards

Here are two cards I made using the new Mariposa stack from DCWV.

I also used the Metallic stack, and the greeting is from the Stampin' Up! "Holidays & Wishes stamp set. Card base is River Rock cardstock from Stampin' Up!

This card uses the 5 petal flower and the Spring Flower Bouquet punches from Stampin' Up!, Groovy Guava and Dusty Durango cardstock. I inked the edges of the flower with Close to Cocoa ink, also from Stampin' Up! Ribbon is from American Crafts.
