Graduation and Mother's Day

I wanted to make a Graduation card last week for one of my Husbands cousins who just got her Teaching Degree. So, since I had not made my Mother's Day card for my Mom yet, I decided it was time to crack open the pack of Sweet Sorbet Designer Series Paper that I got back in March during SaleAbration. I even opened up the Sweet Sorbet Accessory Pack with the cork flowers and thick Crisp Cantaloupe Twine. In the center of the flowers I put a Pool Party Candy Dot and on the Mother's Day card there is a Pool Party circle behind the cork flower. For the words I used the Delightful Dozen stamp set with Basic Black marker and Pool Party marker. I really love how they both turned out. The Sweet Sorbet Designer Series paper is so pretty.

Fun with Cherries

 

I made this card for my daughter's best friend on her 16th Birthday a few years ago. She really likes cherries. On the card I did some white heat embossing for the Happy Birthday and then some red glitter on the cherries. The  paper colors are Real Red, Basic Black, Kiwi Kiss, and Whisper White. I also made a Star Album for her birthday present. 

I found the cherry ribbon at a local craft store. The stamped cherries are from the Just Jawing stamp set that is retired SU.

Cherry Flipflop Album

I made this flipflop album back in Sept. 2009. I had been stamping for almost a year at the point and had gone to a class on how to make these. I loved it so much that when the Halloween paper came out and it had cherry's and skulls on it, I couldn't resist. I love cherry's and skulls. I was so proud of myself cause this was only the second album I had ever made. I don't remember that name of the paper anymore but I know the colors are Kiwi Kiss, Riding Hood Red, Basic Black, Whisper White. I also used a build a brad at the time to make a skull brad on top the red flower. Most of this is Retired Stampin Up product now but I'm still hording a little bit of this DS paper. :)
