This card was an attempt to be a little artsy and combine the Artistically Asian stamp set with the Tea Room DSP. I think many of the papers in the Tea Room DSP have a nice Asian feel to them.  And the Artistically Asian stamp set has some of my all time favorite sentiments.

I wanted to make this for a friend, who really is “always there”.  And I also wanted to be a bit artsy and give the card some layers. In fact, the design elements on the front are 7 layers!  I just keep adding until I had the look I liked.

I have had this set since the new catalog launched.  I don’t do many Baby Cards, but that is the beauty of this set. It’s not just for Baby Cards!  It works for a lot more. In this case, I actually need a Baby Card, so it was the perfect time to pull this set out and try something.

Of course, I wanted to use the night sky design paper. And I wanted to use some of the Twinkle Adhesive Backed Sequins and the punch.  So starting with that, this is the card I came up with.  The moon and stars are punched from Silver Foil Paper.  Then more stars are added using the Twinkle Adhesive Backed Sequins.

And a little secret to this card?  The ribbon is actually the Silver Metallic Edged Ribbon colored with a Night of Navy Stampin’ Blend! Being able to color ribbon is another reason I love the Stampin’ Blends! You can always make a matching ribbon!!!

I am back with another design with my favorite set, Wishing you Well. This is such a lovely set and there is so much you can do with it. For this card, I decided to go traditional and use a red and green theme.

I used my favorite holiday paper, Under The Mistletoe.  This paper set is great because it matches back to so many greens and reds.  It allows  you to be very creative when coming up with a design and look.

For this card, I chose Shaded Spruce and Real Red. That seemed to be the best color combo to set off the paper. For a rustic look, I stamped the designs on Crumb Cake.  A few Red Rhinestones and some sparkly ribbon completed the card!
