More Hexagons with Honeycomb Hello

I was just sitting down to make a "job well done" sort of card for my daughter for completing her paralegal course with an A. (Yes I'm proud of her for always exploring new avenues of adventure!) My husband came in the room to ask if I'd received a text from our daughter. Sure enough, she was texting to tell us she accepted the position of Tasting Room Manager at the winery she works at... So, decided a "WOW!" card would cover both achievements.
Using the Confetti Celebration Designer Series Paper and the Hexagon punch makes this a really quick card. I figure I needed to get this one made and in the mail before she did something else!

Vellum Fun

This week I'm going to show some fun cards made using the Sheer Perfection Deisgner Vellum that was an added Sale A Bration Product. If you didn't get the vellum you can still make these cards. You could just use the layouts with designer paper or you could stamp on vellum with Staz On Black ink and make similar cards.
I sure hope the new catalog has some similar printed vellum in it!
These two cards have a sheet of Designer Series Paper layerd behind the vellum to give more pizzazz.

Life's Adventure

This cake stamp is from the Life's Adventure hostess set in this year's Idea Book and Catalog. I did some fussy cutting and coloring with markers. I also used up two scraps of the Confetti Celebration DSP that were laying on my desk. Always love it when I can use up those scraps! The expression comes from the Remembering Your Birthday stamp set.

Seize the Cake

I love this layout. Actually the original was turned in the portrait position but I wanted to use the Seize the Cake stamp from the Something to Say stamp set so I wound up doing a little reorienting (or recalculating as our GPS would say).
The Designer Series Paper is from the Confetti Celebration Pack. I used my Banner Framelits to cut the banners. The little star was punched using the Itty Bitty Accents Punch pack. It's all topped off with some of the Tangelo Twist ribbon.

Birdie Birthday

The Hello Love hostess set (133928 c, 133925 w) was used to make this birthday card. (CASE: Linda Heller from StampingSchool.com) I used a Bermuda Bay card stock base and then cut a strip of Designer Series Paper from the Confetti Celebration pack (133692). Then I edged the DSP with a strip of Crushed Curry card stock that was punched using the Scallop Edge Border punch (119882). The hole for the window on front was punched with the 1-3/4" circle punch. Then I lined up the birdie stamp and stamped onto Whisper White card stock. The word bubble requires the use of two stamps so I got out my Stamp-a-ma-jig (101049) to line up the expression inside the word bubble outline. This was cut out using the Word Bubbles framelits (132968). The bird was colored using the new Daffodil Delight Blendabilities markers ((130998). You need to stamp your image with the black Memento Pad (132708) when using Blendabilites markers. I am having so much fun coloring with these! I can't wait until I have all the colors.
