Bugs & Kisses dream Big card

I've had this set for so long & always love the chance to pull it out for kids B'day cards. I made this one last month when I got the new in colours & used Kiwi Kiss, Pacific Point & Tangerine Tango with Chocolate Chip & Kraft. Happy Happy Birthday was inked in Kiwi & wheeled onto the top of the Kraft Cardfront, I crimped the Chocolate strip & set eyelets for the Chocolate Ribbon to thread through, I was going to attach the sentiment "sending worm wishes on your bug day" or "bugs and kisses" that are in the stamp set but Teya suggested it may be a bit babyish for Lewis's 6th Birthday & Dream Big was better suited!!! so we went with that. The use of punches made this card come together real easy.

Upsy Daisy embossed card

Ingredients:
Upsy Daisy & Best Yet Stamp sets.
Baja Breeze, Kiwi Kiss & Going Grey CS, Baja Breeze Striped Ribbon, Styled Silver Raised Dots Designer Holder & 2 Flower Brads, Versamark & White Embossing powder.
I stamped the Daisy's twice in Versamark along side eachother on a piece of Kiwi Kiss CS & embossed them with White Powder, this is mounted onto Going Grey, I tied a length of Baja Breeze Striped Ribbon around the left hand side. I adhered with a Dimensional the sentiment which has also been embossed but on Baja Breeze CS & then punched out with the Designer Label Punch in the centre of the card then I aligned ontop the Designer Holder which is held in place by the 2 Flower Brads, this is then adhered with dimensionals to the 6" x 3" (folded) Baja Breeze Card.

Simply Said cards

I made these cards months ago, the design was cased from SC, I chose one of my favourite colour combo's Sage Shadow, Ruby Red & Chocolate Chip with Confetti White, I love the use of this set this way & below is another colour combo Perfect Plum, Bashful Blue & old Olive but a 4 x 4" card I had a few months ago as a make-n-take, this design is also in the new Idea Book & Catalogue on pg 51, so if you have this set you should give it a go.
