To The Point Label Punch used on 3 Cards here......

 

My color combo for this creation includes:  Shy Shamrock, White, and Melon Mambo.  I used the following StampinUP products also:

 

--Adhesive Backed Sequins Trio

--Shy Shamrock Ribbon

--Bright Borders Stamp Set

--To The Point Label Punch

 

I think the designer paper came from a recent Sale-A-Bration pack!!  (sorry I'm just not sure-- because this card was made awhile ago).  Great layout though, for any punch & paper you have in your stash!!

 

 The Stripes & Florals Mix & Match Cards & Envelopes were used here.  (pg. 13 in the current Spring Mini Catalog).  I used the featured punch which got carried over to the brand new Annual Catalog coming soon.  Night of Navy Twine and ink pad were used here as well as some Stampin' Blends.  The plaid designer paper comes from Timeless Plaid 6 x 6 pack (pg. 25-- Spring Mini).

 

I used a few of the same products mentioned above in my 2nd card creation.  The Hugs for Love Stamp Set was used this time though.  (again, from the Spring Mini catalog)

Blog Waddle w/ Stray Ducklings-- April Theme is Retiring Products (Ocean Friends Bundle featured here).......

 

 Both these creations today were CASED from Julie Davison & made quite a long time ago.  Since I've not posted either one before, I thought this would be a golden opportunity to go along with our "Retiring Products" theme this month!!

Both cards have matching envelopes which were made with the Friends of the Ocean Designer Paper.  The Ocean Friends Bundle (pg. 31 of the Spring Catalog) was used for these 2 cards.  The above design also features the So Swirly Embossing Folder.

 

 I really love these BRIGHT colors that were used on the above card.  Same Bundle & DSP were used here & I made a double twine bow from Linen Thread.

 

 

 

    I SHARE MY PASSION FOR STAMPS, INK & PAPER WITH A SPECIAL FLOCK OF LADIES CALLED THE "STAMPING STRAY DUCKLINGS".  WHENEVER WE'RE TOGETHER, FEATHERS FLY BECAUSE OF ALL THE FUN WE HAVE!!
