Perennial Lavender Designer Paper by StampinUP used on 2 Cards here......

 

   
This creation features the following color combo:  Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather, Crumb Cake, White, Pretty Peacock and Lost Lagoon
 
The Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder was used along with the Bough Punch.  (The punch for the sentiment is retired).  I used some Linen Thread and 3 of the Purple Fine Shimmer Gems.
     

This card was super easy to make and of course the Perennial Lavender DSP is used here also.  The Perennial Postage Dies played a big part in the creating of this card as you can see with the 2 sentiment layers.  If you like one or both of these cards, please leave me a comment (would love to hear from you)

Blog Waddle w/ Stray Ducklings-- July Theme is the Kit Collection (Expressions of Kindness Featured Here).......

 

 This Card Kit can be found in the Online Exclusives only (look for Kit Collections).  It is SO pretty and one of my favorite kits I think!!  The envelopes are even over-the-top beautiful   :  )

The Expressions of Kindness Kit includes a stamp set, Blackberry Bliss ink spot, and other supplies to make 8 cards total (4 each of 2 different designs).  I made the 6 cards above exactly as the directions said, and then I saved one card of each design to "play with" like I do sometimes.  (see below picture)

 

 

 So, these are my "alternates".  As I mentioned I saved 2 cards, but I ended up with 3 here because one full card base was cut in half.  That left me with 3 beautiful sheets of heavy designer paper basically.  Just layered those on top of my Blackberry Bliss card bases.

Before adhering my layers together, I used embossing folders on 2 of those card fronts.  (maybe can't see very well but one has Exposed Brick 3D & one has Dotted Circles 3D).  The white ribbon that came with the kit was used 3 different ways.  I finished these alternate card ideas with some sparkly gems which were included in the kit.  Hope you like these creations!!

 



    If you have any questions on these cards, please let me know.  Thanks SO much for blogging along with us and make sure you click on the names below for even more stamping inspiration!!  We love it when you join us on the 10th of each month  :  )   HAPPY STAMPING!!  LORI
