ink: ColorBox merlot

carla's card

My friend, Carla's card from our ladies night of card making:

kim's card

My girlfriends and I like to get together every so often to make cards together. Each person creates one card/sample then brings all the supplies to make that card. This is Kim's card:

papertrey ink

I recently discovered Papertrey Ink and have fallen in love. I adore all the matching stamps and die cuts! I used some birthday money and treated myself to lots of goodies. The package came the other day and here's all my loot:

thank you

stamp: PaperTrey Ink flowers & leaves, Memory Box "thank you"
ink: Stampin' Up! pink passion, ColorBox fresh green
other: rhinestones, ribbon, corner punch, paper trey die cuts

thank you. thank you. thank you.

I'm not one for orange and turquoise, but I love the way this card turned out, so I had to copy it.

stamp: Stampin' Up! vine, circle/star, "thank you"

ink: Impress pale aqua, tangerine

other: orange gingham ribbon, corner punch

follow your dreams

Do you ever have a card that looks better in your head than what you actually produced? Or what about the card where you planned to do one thing, but you messed up and instead of starting over, you "work with the mistake" and you should have just bagged it? That was this card. Both times. ugh. Here it is anyways:

stamp: Impress two lines, Rubber Soul school bus
ink: VersaFine onyx black, Impress lemon yellow
other: corner punch, large paperclip, Stickles Xmas red, Sparkles buttercup, Marvy marker taupe
