GASP, A new post....

Here is a very simple card using the "Lovely Laurels" stamp set from Papertrey Ink (PTI).
It is a set I've had for quite a long time, but never used.  The set also came with a ribbon garland of the wreath, lots of glittery sequins and some pink twine.  Don't know why I haven't used it, but decided to now although I did not use all the extras as you can see.

I neeeded a thank you card and wanted something CAS with space inside for writing a personal note.
Love the little bird that I covered entirely with "wink of stella" for some shimmer!
Here's the card..

Here is another card from PTI's "Transformation Tuesday" project by Michelle Leone.  This card was one she made a while back and decided to redo it.  I did like her redo, but liked her original version better which is what I copied.  One of her tips is to use straws for the candles, which I thought was a great idea, but I used white cs that I had stamped using Stampin' Up's "Diagonal Stripe" stamp set.
Next time I will try using cut-down straws.  Don't know if you can tell or not but the "flames" are die cute from white glittery paper.

This next card is for a woman's birthday, I really like the scalloped edge and the beautiful flowers.  The flowers are a multi-step stamp from PTI's  "Gran's Garden" designed by Dawn McVey.

The large "Just for You" die is also from PTI.

That's it for today, thanks for looking Diane!
Hugs,
