Sweet frappuccino

This cute frappuccino card is for my mom. Frappuccinos are the only thing she orders at Starbucks. :)


I used vellum to look like the plastic cup, and I cut a slit in the whipped cream for the straw to go through. If I had brown glitter, I would have used it for chocolate sprinkles.


I initially had the drink on just the brown patterned paper, but it didn't seem like enough. I had already glued it down, so I used a stitched rectangle die from Lawn Fawn to cut it out. I then added two other patterned papers that I thought matched well.

I finished off my card by adding some liquid pearls to the frapp and some pico embellisher dots here and there for a little more dimension.

Dragons love pie!

For this Thanksgiving card, I went with something totally different. I believe that dragons love pie. I know I do. :)

I thought it would be cute for the dragon to be blowing smoke on the pie to try to cool it down before he munches on it.


I added red to the pie to indicate that it is cherry. Yum, yum, yum!

Pilgrim critters

These little Thanksgiving critters are so cute! The Giving Thanks stamp set from Pretty Pink Posh has been one of my favorites. I kept my card pretty simple because I wanted the pilgrims to be the focal point.


The scripty sentiment is just gorgeous! I love white embossing sentiments on dark backgrounds. :) The trio of stitched hexagons I used on my card are also from Pretty Pink Posh. They are a fun way to feature the elements that I stamped and colored.

Pumpkin sparkle

It is always so much fun to make my own patterned background. Before I even knew what the full design of my card was going to be, I started by just stamping the leaves and pumpkins from the Pretty Pink Posh Giving Thanks stamp set in various directions.


Once I finished the background, I decided that the sentiment would be cool if it was hidden behind a Peekaboo Window die cut.


Tada!


At first, I worried that the card might look odd without a sentiment or any other stamped images besides the background. But, adding Twine and Bows die cuts added just enough. I love that the card is interactive.


I finished the card by adding tons of clear Wink of Stella to all the images.
