Pretty Postage

Well, I must tell you that I am very proud of this card! I love the way it turned out. I got the idea from some of my many "wanderings" through the internet and magazines. I was going for vintage and I do believe that I accomplished the look! Lot of embellies on this one! AND one of my very favorite new DSP is the Mocha Morning! If you haven't see this, you need to! It is sooo very pretty. For a look, just click on my store button on the side and check it out in the new IB&C! You won't regret it, I promise!
Until next time.
Hugs,

Treat Yourself as your own best company!

I really like the saying on this card! It makes you realize that you really should treat yourself special. Cause you are! Anyway, I find that I am really liking the "vintage or antique" look on my cards and scrapbook pages so this really spoke to me when I saw this card on the cover of the new caddie. There are a lot of extras on this card that my camera, unfortunately, did not pick up. Just to mention, there is Shimmer Smooch Spray on the flower which really gives it a shine. The new Designer Frames textured Impressions Embossing Folder is to die for. There is a learning curve for using it but really is a great addition! Thanks for looking and hope you enjoy!
Until next time

This is the second card that I made with the Best of Everything stamp set out of the new IB&C from Stampin Up.

Makes me want to go to the beach!! Anyway, this card was made to help showcase the new In Colors. I cased this from the cover of our demonstrator magazine that you get. Let me know if you are interested in becoming a demonstrator. There are a lot of perks! Hope you enjoy and until next time,

Summer Fun

Isn't this just the "cutest"?I had a lot of fun making this bag full of goodies for the beach. The stamp set is Sunny Fun from the Summer Mini caddie that is getting ready to be history. So if you want to get this stamp, just click on the tab on the side of my blog for the caddie and order it from the summer mini. It is a fun set and as you can see has a lot of possibilities! I also used a favorite new in color of mine for the bag itself, Calypso Coral. I am really loving the new in colors. Visit my store online and check them out! Let me know if you have any questions. Until next time,

"Crunching" Ribbon Flower

Love the way this turned out! I am sooo into "crunching" ribbon. I have caught myself doing this on almost all of my cards lately. If you haven't tried this, it should be a MUST do soon. I also really like the Build a Blossom stamp set along with the punch. The flower was made by stamping Cherry Cobbler in on Riding Hood Red cardstock, who knew it would be so good? Hope you like. Have a great day and do some stamping or something "crafty"! Until next time,
Hugs,
Alicia
