Set: Dream a Little in Raspberry Tart

I need to get serious about selling my cards online -- before they totally overrun my apartment! To that end, I decided to make a batch of cards to be sold as a set. I used the same stamped image and the same papers on all of them, yet they are each unique.



Stamp sets: Dream a Little, Heard from the Heart (the "friend to friend" stamp)

Colors: Kiwi Kiss, Rose Red, Cameo Coral, Pretty in Pink, Real Red

DSP: Raspberry Tart

Punches: Word Window, 3/4" Circle, Ticket Corner, Corner Rounder

And: Grosgrain ribbon; Real Red, Pretty in Pink, and Rose Red brads; Stampin' Dimensionals; non-SU! fibers
















Watch for this set to show in my online store later this week!



Update: This set is now available for purchase! Please visit http://www.shophandmade.com/Item/6-758-H410AW5 for more information.

Dream a Little

I cracked into my new Dream a Little Stampin' Up! set today; and though I started out just goofing around, I think the end result is a pretty decent card.



The card base is Pirouette Pink layered with Regal Rose DSP from Patterns Pack II. My upline created a supply of Top Note die cuts for me a few months ago, and they've been sitting on my desk just waiting for an opportunity like this. I sponged the top half of a Whisper White one with Bashful Blue and then stamped the leaves in Old Olive and the flowers on the lower right with Regal Rose. I stamped the three large flowers in black and then used my Stamp-a-ma-jig to two-step-stamp in Pirouette Pink. I fussy-cutted the three flowers, the Old Olive hummingbird, and the sentiment with my Cutter Bee scissors. The hummingbird and one large flower is popped up on foam dots, giving the card some dimension. I used my fine line glue pen and Dazzling Diamonds glitter to jazz up all the flowers. As a final touch, I added a trio of dew drops (*squeal of delight*). Pretty cool, eh?
