By the Sea

I am always looking for different greetings for my cards.  When I saw these greeting at Technique Junkie, I knew they would go perfect with these Gina Marie dies that I had.  The mermaid is cut out of glitter paper and really sparkles.

Orchids and Bamboo

Look at the embossing in the background of these two cards.  I bought those embossing folders at least 10 years ago and never used them until today.  They were in a package with other folders that I have used a lot, but I just couldn't find anything to use with them.  I have one more that I need to use out of that package so I am looking for ideas.  When I saw this new orchid Stampin' Up! set, I knew I had found something to go with my Asian folders.

Daisy Punch

I was so excited to finally get my daisy punch.  Daisies and sunflowers are two of my favorite flowers.  One of my card buddies asked me to teach her how to make a card with this lattice design.  This was one of the cards I made while learning the technique myself.

Lemons in Life

Everyone has heard the traditional when life gives you lemons..........saying.  When I saw this greeting at a recent stamp show I had to buy it.  They #techniquejunkies also had the background stamp so of course I had to add it to my purchase too.  I also knew I had a retired Stampin' up  lemon stamp to finish off any card I would make.  Which version of the card do you like best?
