For this card, I used the Bashful cardstock as my base I also used the Rose Embossing Folder, its my favorite.  I decided to make it shimmer and added the clear Shimmer Brush to the embossed images.  I used the Chelsea Gardens Scrapbooking stamp set and stamped in Pixie and Bashful for the flowers, the centers are in Glacier ink, and the leaves are stamped in Juniper.  I pulled the sentiment from the Chelsea Gardens Cardmaking stamp set and it's stamped in Black Ink.  I added some doodling to finish off the banner.

For this second card, I added the Gold Shimmer Brush to the debossed side of the card, the grooves caught all the shimmer.  Then I decided I wanted to make a monogram style card, and used 2 of the Hostess stamp sets for this, Farmhouse Alphabet, and Monogram Crest. 

Now "Hop" on over to Priscilla to see her work! Be sure to visit all the Consultants at their Blogs to get some great crafting ideas and other fun ideas!

If you have just hopped onto my blog, you can start here as this is a circular hop, plus I'm the first stop when hopping across Canada, East to West. If you came from Carol's Blog then you are in the right place!

For my project I choose to focus on Friendship.  I used the Gimme Some Sugar Paper collection, and the Chelsea Gardens cardmaking stamp set to create these 2 simple 4*4 cards.  I added some doodling to the blue plaid card, and decided to leave the images uncolored.  The pink card I added some banners. I was thinking about adding some bling, but decided I liked the simplicity of these cards.


Your next stop on the Cross Canada Hop is Colleen.

I am really loving the Making Waves collection, and so I used 3 patterns from this collection, some purple gems and the Making Waves shimmer trim to complete this fun birthday card.  The card design comes from the New Edition of Make It From Your Heart, Volume 4.  It is card design # 12.  I used Peacock Ink to stamp the sentiment, the images are stamped in Willow and Pansy.  I fussy cut the flower and pieced it ontop.  The Banner is popped using 3D foam tape.
