Simply Handcrafted

My first card today is from my friend Stacy in Rochester Minnesota with a quick note to let me know she's going to be in my area the end of this month. I'm excited! I love the colors she used for her card and the layout is very cool. I want to know if the verse on the card front is a stamp and where it came from, I like it.
My next card we C.A.S.E.d from the Verve Visual gallery, it's by Shannon Teubner. I had girlfriends over stamping yesterday, Susan needed a graduation card for her son and we thought the Verve Seeing Stars set would be appropriate, their last name is Starr.

We changed things just a little by using Stampin' Up! Outlaw designer paper and Stampin' Up!s Starstruck set, the cardstock colors are a little different too. Click on Shannon's name and you can see her original artwork.

Then we needed to play with my new Cuttlebug Build A Flower thingie. It's a die with two petals and two circles on it and four little embossing folders to match. We discovered when you get the petals cut out and arranged into a flower it's really BIG! I like making A6 sized cards so that helps a little. Maybe it's for scrapbooking?

We had fun with it anyway...
