I LOVE the card workshops in the Wishes How-To Book. I've also really enjoyed playing with the Wings paper - watch for more posts with this paper coming up! I finished putting this set together a couple of weeks ago, I'm finally getting around to sharing it. Using the Celebration Card Workshop cutting guide and just 2 patterned papers, 2 cardstock papers, plus 6 more cardstocks for the card bases, I was able to create 12 cards (2 each of 6 different patterns)! I love how they turned out - now I just need to find some 6x6 envelopes! Here is the entire set:
Here are the cards - notice how I either used the opposite side of the paper or rotated the card and used different stamps to get a completely different look from each card pattern.
Card 1
Supplies used on the following card: Springtime stamp set, retired Spot On Backgrounds stamp set, Sparkles, and a scallop border punch. I used the stamp kissing technique on the umbrella using the Spot On Background stamp, and I used the same stamp to directly stamp the pattern on the boots - I love the different look it gave.
Card 2
Supplies used on the following card: retired Legendary Moments stamp set, retired Cherish the Moment stamp set, and wide organdy ribbon that I had in my scrap stash
Supplies used on the following card: retired Free Spirit stamp set, Black embossing powder, retired Vineyard Berry embossing powder, Black stitched ribbon
Card 3
Supplies used on the following card: retired Rustic Flowers stamp set.
I'm not too fond of this card - I think I went a little overboard stamping the dots ;-P
Supplies used on the following card: retired Lovely Buckles stamp set, silver embossing powder to emboss the buckle on Vineyard Berry paper
Card 4
I think these two are my favorite from the entire set - I just love this stamp set that comes with the You & Me kit that's the special for this month - I love the stitches, flourish, and pennant stamps the most!
Supplies used on the following card: You & Me stamp set, Colonial White ink for the stitches, paper flower, Opaques pearls
Card 5
Supplies used on the following card: Grown With Love stamp set, circle punches -I added some Desert Sand ink to the color combo for the tree.
Supplies used on the following card: Shining Star stamp set, button punch with paper strips in the button holes, and retired Vineyard Berry embossing powder to emboss the star on black paper.
Card 6
Supplies used on the following card: Love This stamp set (it was good to finally ink this set up, this stamp was part of a special last year and around the time we moved and I never got a chance to play with it until now) - I also used the For Every Occasion stamp set
Supplies used on the following card: retired Playful Petals stamp set, Friendship Blessings stamp set for the stem and leaves, Say It In Style stamp set for the sentiment, and black button brads.
Which one is your favorite?
