Love you forever mini album!

Hello there!  I have another fun project to share with you today using the  Forever Lovely stamp set and it's coordinating dies.  I am really loving this set.  It is just so dainty and elegant feeling to me.  I made a couple of mini albums and dressed them up. Take a look:

These little guys measure 3  1/2" x 4 1/4".  The album bases are made from Melon Mambo and the layers are Whisper White and Pear Pizzazz.  The sentiment and the flower stamps are both from Forever Lovely.  To make those flowers I stamped each one 3 times and trimmed each of the layers until they nested.  I used Stampin' Dimensionals between each layer and slightly bent up the edges to give them a nice full look.

That gorgeous butterfly is punched using the Butterfly Duet punch and I punched it from the Lovely Lipstick Foil paper. That fun stuff is a freebie that I earned by placing a $50.00 order!  (Ask me for details!)  It is beautiful and you talk about shimmer!!  I ran that little guy through the Dot to Dot Embossing Folder to give it some texture.  The small flowers are cut using one of the dies in the coordinating Lovely Flowers Edgelits.  I topped each one with a Basic Pearl.

There are tons of pages to add photos and journaling and souvenirs to.  I added some heart stamps and additional strip of the Lovely Lipstick sheets to the inside too!

I just love making little albums! They make great gifts.

Here are all of the goodies I used to create these mini albums:

Forever Lovely Day #1

Hello there!  Today is day #1 of Forever Lovely week!  I will be sharing projects all week long with you using this beautiful set!  It has so many fun possibilities. I don't know about you, but whenever I can get lots of variety from one stamp set I am a happy girl!  Take a look at the card I made today using this set:

My card base is Melon Mambo and my top layer s Whisper White.  The beautiful stamped flowers and sentiment are from Forever Lovely.  I stamped the sentiment in Momento Tuxedo Black.

The flowers are from the coordinating Framelits set and I added some little pearls to the centers of them.

To get this look I stamped the flowers on a base layer in Melon Mambo and then stamped the leaves.  It is a 2 step stamp set.  Then I cut out the delicate overlay using the coordianting Framelits and layered it on top using dimensionals.

Here is a side view. They work beautifully together!  They same die makes the fine cut outs and also the embossed portions!  Fun stuff!

Here is a list of the goodies that I used to create my card today:

Christmas Card Sunday #2

Hello there!!  Here it is Sunday again already!!  Time for another round of Christmas card making!  I figure if I make a card (or two, or 4!) every Sunday starting now and going through the year I will be all ready for mailing when Dec 1 rolls around!!  It only takes a little bit of time each Sunday and will be one less thing I have to do once the holiday chaos begins to set in!  I did this last year and cannot tell you what a great feeling it was to have them all ready to go!  Want to join me?  Grab some Christmas supplies and let's do it!!  I made 4 today!  Here they are:

My card base is Garden Green and my layers are Lovely Lipstick, Whisper White and Silver Glimmer. I embossed the WW with the Basic Polka Dot embossing folder.

I used the Lovely As A Tree stamp set and the sentiment is from Christmas Pines. I cut it out using the Layering Oval Framelits and added a bright, happy flower using the Bitty Bloom punch pack. I popped it up using Stampin' Dimensionals.  I wanted to carry the color combo throughout from bottom to top.

Here are all 4 cards together ready to be tucked into my card box! I am so excited to be doing this again this year!
