Irresistibly Yours Layout

A happy, rainy Monday morning to you.  A dreary day just begs for some creative goodness to happen.  Right?  Today, I have a scrapbook layout for you with a vintage look.  This is for my Heritage Album.  We will actually be making it, along with a second layout, at my June 20 class.  Heritage scrapbooking is a passion of mine and I love to share it with others.

A Happy Lemon Card

Life hasn't given me lemons lately, but I made a lemon card anyway.  This one is in Pear Pizzazz and Crushed Curry.

I've sponged our Irresistibly Yours DSP with Pear Pizzazz.  I added a sponged strip to the inside of the card as well and then cut an envelope liner out of it, too.  This is really nicely coordinated.

I added a thin Crushed Curry taffeta ribbon over a white organza ribbon.

I added a punched Crushed Curry scalloped circle behind the crystal button.  For a final touch, I added a 'sprig' of ribbon to the top corner of the focal piece and called it done:)

A Happy Thing Card

I love the cute little bird on this card.  This was made using our A Happy Thing set from our previous SAB goodies.  I also made use of some of our Irresistibly Yours DSP and colored it a happy blue with some simple sponging.

I added a few Gorgeous Grunge speckles and some punched flowers.  I really don't ever put away my Gorgeous Grunge stamp set!

I added a sponged strip of the Irresistibly Yours DSP to the inside of the card and stamped coordinating flowers on the envelope.

If the cute little bird seems 3-dimensional to you, that's because he is.  I cut one out and attached it with dimensionals.  It adds a lot to the card to have the bird really stand out.  Mounting everything on black really has a huge impact.  This card speaks of Spring!

Double the Fun Cards

I have double the fun cards for you today... in Crushed Curry and Melon Mambo.  

I've used stamps from our Painted Petals stamp set, organza and taffeta ribbons, and a sponged strip of Irresistibly Yours DSP.

I didn't get the envelopes into the photo, but they have stamping on them, as well.  The card base is all white this time.

So, once again, I ask you... which one do you like the best?

Beautiful Crisp Cantaloupe Spring Card

I know I promised a cool watercolor technique today, but I forgot to share this pretty card with you.  We're making it at Jessica's catalog party this Sunday afternoon and I wanted to share it with you now.  We'll get back to the watercolor technique very soon.

It's pretty and 'Springy' and easy to make.  The strip in the middle is sponged with Crisp Cantaloupe ink.  It's one of our SAB choices... for free.

I think you'll agree that the touches of black accents really take this card up ... several notches.

Would you like to see the other projects we'll be making at Jessica's party?  Well... if you do, you'll just have to contact me about joining us at the party.  I can't wait!

I'll be back soon with the promised watercolor technique.  You just need to check here every day, anyway, so you don't miss a thing.
