Thanks Jackie!

Jackie was kind enough to share some fabulous double-sided pink & green cardstock and sheets of tags/etc. when we did a sorority card-making weekend. I did lots of cards that I didn't happen to snap photos of....I know, can you believe it?

Love the double sided cardstock! It's especially nice for puching holes in the front to see into the card itself like the saying here on this card. The squares are blitzed up with some Stickles. Cute & very easy!

I'm almost at 2500 hits on my blog! WOW! Then it will be time for some blog candy, huh?

Circle Flourish

This card is definitely not my usual style. I still have not decided if I even like it.

I was inspired by the sketch and by the Genevieve paper to make a card with a fussy cut and see what I could do with it and still follow the sketch. So, what do you think? Personally, I think it came out a bit "busy" looking... Maybe I needed to put a raspberry background behind the "For You" circle tag to make it "pop" a bit more.

TAC-nique Tuesday

Since we are not doing it today... I thought I would post the techniques and cards we did a couple months ago when my camera was on the fritz.

For these cards we used the Flourish set, an obvious favorite of mine. 'Course you can't really tell from the photo, but we actually did a variety of similar techniques: Kissing, Kiss with a twist, and thumping. (You can click on the photo for a larger view and see if you can tell which technique was used on which card!) I really like the multi-color look this gives to bold stamps. Some of them almost looked tie-dyed!
