La Belle Vie mixed with NEW stamps

This is the final card made at my Hostess Card Club workshop.

We also made this card in a vertical version. 

We used White Daisy cardstock as a base and for the stamped accent. Both patterned papers are La Belle Vie and the pink is La Belle Vie pink. The stamped border is from NEW set, Frame Flair, stamped in Smokey Plum. The sentiment is from Fabulous You and is stamped in Pansy Purple.

Summer in Paris.....

I hope that title got your attention.....I'm sure we all wish to spend a summer in Paris. In the meantime, this card made me think of what it might be like to be there.

This is the second card my Hostess Club made using the La Belle Vie Workshop on the Go kit. We used 2 patterned paper along with a zip strip. The bike is stamped in Desert Sand ink with the sentiment in Smokey Plum. The basket flowers were coloured in with a Gypsy marker and Stardust Glitz was added to the centre of each flower.

All edges were inked by sponge with Desert Sand ink.  The shape was distressed with CTMH's Distresser tool. I added a piece of Burlap ribbon, along with a Colonial White button.

Happy Valentine's with La Belle Vie

For my January Project Club, we used the La Belle Vie Workshop on the Go kit along with the January Stamp of the Month, Happy Valentine's. This is one of three cards, the gals made 4 of.

We stamped La Belle Vie Mauve cardstock with the large rose image from Jan's SOTM, Happy Valentine's. We used Smokey Plum ink for the background; inking all edges and for the sentiment. The scalloped borders are patterned paper from La Belle Vie. There is another mat of La Belle Vie pink; then Colonial White for the sentiment. We stamped the smaller stemmed rose in second generation, prior to stamping the sentiment. We added sparkles to finish the card off.

Feathers are flying everywhere!

I LOVE BIRDS! I love to hear them sing; I love to watch them fly; I love to photograph them; and I especially LOVE to stamp with their likeness. This card is another sneak peek at a new stamp set in CTMH's Spring/Summer Idea Book.....live Feb 1st.

I was inspired by another CTMH consultant for this card. I used a Colonial White base and stamping layer. I matted it with Sweet Leaf cardstock. I edged and stamped the birds from. Hello Tweety, with Lagoon ink. The sentiment is stammped in Pear ink and is from, April SOTM: My Sunshine. I finished off this simple card with Turquoise Sparkles.

Butterflies in Chantilly!

I have begun holding embossing and die cutting classes. This is one of the cards made at the first class. I was inspired from Pinterest.

These lovely butterflies are a sneak peak of our NEW Chantilly paper.

This patterned paper is SPECTACULAR! I added a Sweet Leaf cardstock mat and embossed White Daisy cardstock with my #1, all time favourite embossing folder.

The sentiment is from Card Chatter - Thank You.
