The past couple days I've been making cards just for fun...and have been having so much fun. :) Here are a few that I've made for a friend of mine back home!
The white "Hello" card was dry embossed with a Maggie Holmes embossing folder, then I added a Swoosh die cut and some die cuts made with the Quilted: Spring stamps and dies.
You might be wondering how I made the teal striped card? I'll show you how:
Step 1. Die cut two pieces of Tropical Teal cardstock from the Cover Plate: Stripes Diagonal.
Step 2. Trim the top 3 stripes out of one of the pieces. Remove them. (Keep the entire outer frame, just trim out the top 3 stripes.) Layer the second die cut underneath horizontally and trim the excess.
Step 2. Trim the top 3 stripes out of one of the pieces. Remove them. (Keep the entire outer frame, just trim out the top 3 stripes.) Layer the second die cut underneath horizontally and trim the excess.
Step 3. Adhere the two pieces together. Add Bitty Dot patterned paper behind.
Really fun way to get a different look with the cover plates! I think it would be pretty in black and white also.
One of the other cards I made was a replicate of one done by Nichole Heady that you can see HERE. I couldn't wait to try this Hugs card! Isn't it stunning? I love all of Nichole's ideas and had to make a couple of these for my card stash!
For ink colors, I ended up using Pure Poppy, Raspberry Fizz, Hibiscus Burst, Lavender Moon and Sweet Blush inks by Papertrey Ink with the Big Hugs stamp set.
It's about time I've used my Pinterest boards and actually make some things I have pinned. :) Can't wait to put a bundle of these together for her!

Love the striking colors and use of cover plate! I am so enjoying taking your class over Carftsy! Thanks for the inspiration, Danielle!
This post took my breath away; these cards are stunning!
Jaw droppers, Danielle! I love the dry embossed background behind your bright flowers, but that diagonal plate design is the bomb. I've been telling myself I don't need one of those, but you have just enabled me...and it's not the first time. : )
Wow!!! Adore these beautiful cards!
Which die cutting machine do you use to do your embossing plates? I'm using the Epic 6, but it doesn't work very well for the PTI impression plates. Would love a suggestion!
Thanks for sharing your gorgeous work!
