Friendships Sweetest Thoughts

In February, I was given the task of making projects centered around the stamp set, Friendships Sweetest Thoughts.  I thought the line image art was full of whimsy and a bit delicate as well.  This set is available now in our Occasions catalog, and is really very sweet.

The first card I made used some of the Brusho Crystal Colors to make the background.  I also tied some pretty Peekabo Peach seam binding to the card face with a triple bow.  I used the Stampin' Blend alcohol markers on most of my projects as well.

Using the Memories & More scrapbook cards, I put together this sweet little layout of my granddaughter.  She is really the main focal point, but I dressed the backgrounds up with a little flowery fun.  The flower cart was embossed on vellum paper and then I used the regular Stampin' Write markers and colored on the back to keep that nice muted look that vellum brings.

 There is the cutest framelits set in the new catalog that makes these wonderful little boxes.  I used it to create a card gift set along with the Whisper White Narrow Note Cards and Envelopes.  They fit perfectly inside!

Here is another card that is kind of special with the Whisper White Organza Ribbon.

Another element available is the wooden hoops.  It looks like a fun embroidery project!  (well, sort of)

And lastly, here is a fun little potters shelf.  I layered some doilies and used pretty paper in the background.

All of these projects are made with supplies currently available from Stampin' Up!  If you would like to have a catalog to browse through or even would like to follow my links at the top of the page, you can see all of the items available.
