Martini Card

Here's another great card from my friend Nancy. Love the martini – one of my favorite drinks. The paper is Club Scrap.

Love this fun card I got from my friend Connie! Check out the clever quote inside.

Japanese beauty drinking tea card

I got this gorgeous card from my friend Rita in a one-card-a-month exchange that I organize with some friends. She says she chose this image (by Stamp Francisco) for me after reading my recent post about tea on The Coveted.

She mounted the image on handmade Japanese paper from the Japanese paper shop on 4th Street in Berkeley, where we recently went shopping. Beautiful!

Petal Party Cards

I love the Petal Party scrapbook pack for making cards. I can make around 30-40 cards with each pack. Here are some I recently made. I love that I only needed to use this one pack. Nothing extra was needed (besides adhesive and whatnot). The cards are the standard size, 4"x4" and 2"x2" gift cards.

Fabulous Holiday Card

Isn't this a cool card? I just got it from a friend who was my Secret Santa this year. I love that it uses non-traditional holiday colors and manages to look autumnal and springy at the same time. I also love how she used brads with the ribbon. I never would have thought of that and can't wait to try it myself.

Beauty Card

I got this supercute card from a friend. I love the saying. It's especially funny, because I recently began writing about beauty on The Coveted, a popular fashion and beauty blog. Those are Stampin Up stamps.

Stampin Up Card & Ornament

Fellow Stampin Up demonstrator Patti gave me this lovely card that also doubles as an ornament. Isn't that a wonderful idea? I just love it. I think this would be a wonderful idea for next year's Christmas cards. She used Stampin Up's dies for the card shape, snowflake, and word.
