Materials Used: 

White 110# cardstock from Staples

Stampin' Up!: Pool Party Cardstock

                       Scallop Trim Border & Corner Punches

                       Pinking Hearts Border Punch

                       Buggies & Booties Stamp Set

                       1" Ribbon

Tim Holtz "Weathered Wood" Distress Ink - Ranger

Baby Die from Marianne Dies

Cuttlebug Embossing Folder -"Rebecca"

Clearly Better Black Ink Pad - TPC Studio

For the inside of the card, I inked the stamp with Weathered Wood Distress ink, stamped it once on a piece of scrap paper, then stamped it on the card so that it would be lighter.  I like the way the Distress inks make clean, good impression on the subsequent stampings.  

After stamping the bassinett, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin' Up! Buggies & Booties set with black ink.

Wedding Card

Wedding Card

This card is for a wedding that I am going to attend this weekend. The top picture is of the outside of the card and the bottom picture is of the inside.
My photography skills are not the greatest when it comes to photographing cards.  Please excuse. 
This card was made with Staples 110 # white cardstock.  The front was embossed with the Cuttlebug "Texture" folder.  The watercolor prints were from Carol Wilson Fine Arts, Inc. - Cheryl Smith copyright.  I cut out the inside of the frame to get just the flowers.  I love the soft colors that was used in this watercolor.  The matting is Stampin' Up! Concord Crush cardstock.  The small pearls are also from Stampin' Up!  The butterfly is the Vivienne Butterfly from a Memory Box Die which I purchased from Joan's Garden. The printing is done with my computer using the Edwardian Script font.

Tri Fold Card

 

Tri Fold Card

This is my first try at putting a picture on my blog and so far I have my fingers crossed that it will work.  The cardstock is more of a blue hued pink than it shows here.

The "Woodland Branch" die is from Memory Box and is cut from brown card stock.

The flowers on the branch were made with a McGill punch.  The centers were made with the punched out parts of the Martha Stewart Snowflake Punch around the Page punches.  I used white cardstock and colored the petals with the Color Box Pink stamp pad.  The stamens were colored with a Ranger Ink marker, Adirondack, Raisin, and a tiny pearl was placed in each center.

The center section was cut using the Stampin' Up Scallop Trim Border and Corner Punches.  The small flower was made by using two flowers of the McGill Medium Flower Punch cut out of white cardstock and colored with the Color Box Pink. 

The large butterfly on the right is made with the Memory Box Vivienne and Darla Dies. The flourish is by the same company, I believe, but I can't find it on Joan's Garden site now and I think I misplaced the covers when I took the dies out of the packets and put them in a CD box with a magnet to hold them.  I appologize to whichever company made it as I didn't think I'd be doing this sort of thing at the time.  All of my dies, other than the Stampin' Up dies come from Joan's Garden.

The small butterflies are from Cheery Lynn Dies and the Happy Birthday was printed from my computer and cut out with the oval punch from Stampin' Up.
