More Dazzeling HunkyDory

Once I realized how well Dazzles complimented the Hunkydory kits, I was good to go.  On this card, the pink background paper, the border, and the focal element are Hunkydory (Flutterbye Wishes kit).  The Aqua embossed piece is glimmer paper cut and embossed with one of Marianne's cut & emboss folders (love those!!!).  The outlines around the card and the aqua embossed piece are Dazzles, as is the message on the focal element.  Another quick & easy card!

Dazzling Hunkydory

The materials in this card are mostly from a Hunkydory card kit (Flutterbye Wishes kit)- the background, focal element, and sentiment tag all came from there.  I love the foiling in the Hunkydory card kits, but didn't have silver paper to match it for matting elements & such.  Then I thought of Dazzles!  Those silver outline stickers from Hot Off the Press are perfect!  I especially like the "63 Thin Line Border Stickers".  I used them here to frame the background.  The silver edged ribbon I had in my stash was a perfect match, making it all come together quickly and easily. 

Quick Tropical Birthday

I must admit that this is not my favorite card.  I really don't care for orange and pink together most of the time and this paper is no exception.  However, it has a tropical feel and I figured it would make a nice birthday card with that sort of theme to it.  It came together very quickly thanks to my card kit with pre-made focals.  The focal was made using alcohol inks on glossy cardstock, stamped and embossed with JustRite stamps (Enjoy the Day, Celebration Labels One) and white embossing powder, and cut with JustRite matching Die (Vintage Labels Four). Here's the inside:

The focal on the inside was made the same way using JustRite Stamps (Enjoy the Day, Circle of Love) and die (Vintage Labels Four). 

Purple Birthday

I needed to make a quick birthday card for someone who loves purple, so I started with one of my pre-made focals and put this together quickly. The border stamps (Grateful Heart) and dies (Vintage Labels Two) for the focal were from JustRite and the Rose was a small stamp from HOTP.  I colored the roses with gel pens.  I've gotten several sets of papers free with a card making magazine and wanted to use them up - so that's where the background paper came from.

The sentiment was made using a new set from HOTP - dies (6 Layered Labels and 2 Swirls) and matching stamps (Greetings and Labels).  NICE!  I cut and embossed the tag in the purple and then stamped the sentiment with embossing ink and heat embossed in black. 

The inside could be the front of another card!  It too started with one of my pre-made focals - once again using dies & stamps from JustRite.  I cut and embossed a white mat for it and then colored the outer edge with a black sharpie!

The border is cut and embossed with the border from Spellbinders "Fleur De Lis Accents" set.  I backed it with black paper and fussy cut the top edge.
