Always Wedding Hearts - TBT

Every so often I like to take out some old DSP and/or stamps and make a throw back Thursday card for my blog. Today's card features the first set I ordered from Stampin' Up! before I was a demonstrator, way back in 2007 or 2008. I embossed it in white on Crisp Cantaloupe card stock, and cut them out. I colored some pearls with my Smoky Slate Blendabilities to make the groom card, and tied on a white ribbon bow for the bride heart.

Pearly Peacock - PP232

When I was looking for a bird stamp to use for this week's challenge at the paper players, I realized just how many stamp sets Stampin' Up! has made with birds in them. I seem to have lots! Anyway, I chose my trusty Perfect Peacock stamp, and ended up adding a ton of little pearls to his tail. No white at all on this card, which isn't my typical style.

Stamps: Perfect Peacock

Ink: Versamark, Blackberry Bliss, Bermuda Bay Blendabilities

 

Paper: Crushed Curry, Bermuda Bay, Blackberry Bliss card stock

Little Baby Bumblebee - CCMC342

As soon as I saw this week's color challenge at Create with Connie and Mary I knew I would use the new Baby Bumblebee stamp. Isn't it sweet? Paired with the Honeycomb Embossing Folder and Hello Honey ink, could this card *bee* any cuter (see what I did there?) :)

Crazy About You for Father's Day - PPA239

My card today is for the color challenge at Pals Paper Arts. I found them to be rather masculine colors, so I figured I'd make a father's day card with some new sets. I was tempted to color the boat in red, but I thought there might end up being too much red so I just left it as is.

Ink: Soft Suede, Real Red

 

Paper: Soft Suede, Crumb Cake, Real Red, Whisper White card stock

I'm definitely getting lots of use out of my Butterfly Thinlits. I think they are probably my favourite item in the whole occasions spring catalog. I kept this card super simple for the sketch challenge at Sunday Stamps.  Lots of white in here, with just a sprinkling of bling.
