CLOclub share: Mixed Bunch

Hello!  Today I have another CLOclub project for you - we made this card at our May meeting.  I love how striking a monochromatic color scheme can be!  And this card made good use of my retiring Not Quite Navy color suite.

The flower is popped up with Dimensionals and blinged up a bit with a pearl center.

One more daisy peeks out from behind the torn corner . . .

All supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted

CLOclub share: Ciao Baby!

My CLOclub met last week - I sure love my group of ladies!!!  They are the best and I am enjoying getting to know each one just a little better each time we meet.

This week I am going to share some projects we made back in May. I realize many of the products are now retired since Sale-A-Bration and the Occasions catalog ended last spring, but if you purchased some of them maybe these ideas will give you renewed inspiration!

Today's card features one of my very favorite sets, "Ciao, Baby!" - which I sincerely wish had made it into the Annual Catalog.  BUT it's on clearance!!! You can still get that and the Cloudy Day embossing folder in the Clearance section of my Online Store - I know, 'cuz I just ordered another one!!

Each of the little punchies is raised with Dimensionals, and I just tied a double-wrapped knot in the ribbon because I was running short - still using up some retired grosgrain ribbon!  I left the inside blank - this could pass as a baby card - or just a pretty 'hi, friend!' card.

All supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted

Card Recipe
Stamps:  Ciao, Baby!
Ink:  Pretty in Pink (retired)
