Hello,
This is the card I made for my mom's birthday this past December. It is called a viewmaster card. The windows say daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, special friend. I cried when I made it and she cried when she opened it.
The colours I used were blush blossom, true thyme, cranberry crisp, and very vanilla. The stamp sets I used were All About You, Everyday Flexible Phrases, Expressive Flexible Phrases, and Floral Background. I rubbed true thyme and cranberry crisp on all the edges to give a dirty vintage look to the card. My mom loved it and I loved making it for her.
Thank you Kerry for the great layout and for letting me case your card. I just changed the colours to make it more my style.

Hi Everyone,
This is the card I made for a Winter Mini Swap with a group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators. I also participated in the card sketch challenge (although I still need to upload to the gallery) on Splitcoaststampers. This is SC70, you can click on the card sketch challenges on the homepage.

I used my new stamp set Carte Postal, the new jumbo wheel leaves a la carte, and the french flair background stamp. I used pale plum cardstock for the body of the card; mellow moss, chocolate chip, and whisper white was used for the focal point. I also used whisper white craft ink to stamp the background stamp on the right side, and used perfect plum jumbo ink cartridge to stamp the jumbo wheel image on the left side.

Chocolate grosgrain ribbon was adhered between the two background sections to seperate and add distinction. The flower has been stamped, and punched out using the 1 1/4" circle punch, and a stampin' dimensional pops it up with flair. A hodgepodge aged copper brad finishes off the focal point while the "mon amie" inked in chocolate chip finishes off the card. Thanks for looking, enjoy.

This is the other card we did at our last club night last thursday. The technique for the background is called "Poppin' Pearls". We stamped the background Print Pattern on true thyme cardstock with VersaMark Ink. Then we dipped our sponge daubers into interference gold pear ex powder and with a light touch pouced over entire stamped area, we then used a swiffer cloth to wipe away excess powder. We added a second pearl ex powder in spots randomly over top of the first powder. After using a swiffer cloth again, we then sealed with hairspray (it is important to seal the image as it will rub off if you don't - an acrylic sealer is better, but we didn't have any at the time). We then stamped our focal image on very vanilla cardstock, sponged the edged, used the color spritzer with always artichoke marker, and adhered it to the page. The ladies could either pick a ribbon or use brads to finish it off. We then stamped Peaceful Wishes in basic black classic ink on top of the background. Everyone really like the finished product when they were done. It is really shimmery in person.
