Hey everybody! I want to show you this super cute wishing you well card. I made this card for the Challenge of the Week!  I am always saying you can use your Fall and Halloween stamps to make all occasions cards- even Wishing You Well Cards! 

This weeks Challenge of the Week were the colors: Bermuda Bay, Grapefruit Grove and Early Espresso.

I used the Buffalo Check Background stamp to add a little texture to the card.  I used a blender pen to add a little color to the pumpkins and the pumpkin stems.  The Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels add a little sparkle to the card.

These are the supplies I purchased from Taylored Expressions.

Hello my Friends!  In today's card I decided to use the Seaside Spray Designer Series Paper.  I used the sentiment from the Garden Goodness stamp set.  I also used the Cup of Christmas stamp set and the matching dies, Cup of Cheer Dies. I love the this ribbon.  It has a glitter look.  Makes your cards sparkle.

I used the Broadway Birthday Stamp Set for the inside of the card.  I kept it very simple.  I added Wink of Stella on the balloon to give it some sparkle. 

I continued the balloon theme on the envelope.  I like stamping the envelopes so who ever is receiving knows it's a special card.  Hope you enjoyed this card and like always don't forget your coffee or your favorite drink.
Cheers,
Juanita

Good Morning everyone! Just complete card #2, 3 more to go. In this card I decided not to use any pearls or rhinestones.  This card is pretty easy to create.  Not sure what stamp set I'll be using for card #3 but I am sure it will be a fun card.  Maybe something for a Fall Birthday.

Also on this card, I only used one stamp set.  The Beautiful Bouquet is from the Annual Catalog.  Sometimes I forget about these stamp sets.  You can create so many different looking cards just by changing the Designer Series Paper or ink colors.  Let me know what you think about this simple card. Don't forget your Coffee!

Hello my Friends!  I will be working Birthday Cards this next couple of days.  In my stampin group, we send out cards each month.  In the month of October we have 5 October birthdays'. So I pulled out some of my favorite stamp sets and papers. 

Most of the items are from the Annual Catalog. 

Birthday Card #1
I love to use background stamps to add texture to my cards.  I add pearls to give it a soft look.  I really like the way it came out.  I also add Wink of Stella to the flower image.

I also added pearls to the inside of the card.  I paired the Bloom & Glow stamp set with the Perennial Birthday stamp set for the sentiment.  Hope you have a great day!
Cheers,
Juanita
