New XL Scallop Circle Punch

There is a new extra large scallop circle punch in the new catalog.  It's 2 3/8" and opens up a whole bunch of possibilities.  You can layer the large circle scallop punch or the 1 3/4" circle punch on it.  You can make different styles of flowers or about anything else you can do with the smaller (but still large) scallop circle punch.  It will just be bigger.  I used both scallop circle punches on the card below, so I ended up with two different size flowers.

We made this card in the July club meeting.  It also uses the oval scallop punch, two different size circle punches, the small polka dot texture plate and Certainly Celery designer series paper.  The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes.  The flowers are made with the new colors Delightful Daffodil and Poppy Parade, both of which are much prettier in person.

As usual, the card really does have straight edges and the designer series paper is centered and straight on the card.  I just can't seem to photograph it so it looks that way :)

Friends Never Fade

This is another card we made in the July club meeting.  It uses the new stamp set, Friends Never Fade and the new colors Cherry Cobbler and Marina Mist.  The sentiment is from the set Because I Care.

Because I Care

Sorry it's been awhile since I posted.  I've been quite busy since my last post  -- most good, some not so much.  But, that's how life is, isn't it?

Now, on to some cards.  The two cards today were made using the Level 1 Hostess Set "Because I Care."  We made the first one in the July club meeting.  I love the new Concord Crush color.  It's such a rich purple color.  The green is Pear Pizzazz, another new color.  I used the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder for the background.

This second card is just a variation of the first, using Daffodil Delight and Old Olive.

Thanks for looking.  I'll post more tomorrow.
