Dahlia Folds
I used the tutorial found HERE to make these cards. I think I like the blue one best. I used the Bali Breeze paper from SU.
I am currently watching Lost. I am so glad it's back on! But I gotta say, I'm so confused! LOL!

So I had a couple of very pretty dahlia fold cards to upload today, but Blogger has other plans! I keep getting error messages every time I try to upload a picture! (stupid blogger)! Oh well, maybe later on today.

So I got my mail today and saw this huge envelope for me and I thought, "Hmm...I wonder what this is?" I see the return address is from Connie and wonder why is she sending me something? Well it turns out she is sending me something just because I happened to mention i liked it in one of my posts on her blog! Can you imagine? See, Connie has been busy making these valentine cards with this great paper, and she thought she'd send me some because I liked it so much!
Connie, you are a SWEATHEART!
Thank you so much!

I am enjoying this colour combination...the bit of More Mustard added just the right amount of contrast.

I missed a couple days during the week so I thought I'd make up for it today.
I had my Open Stamp last night. I demo'd watercolouring techniques and everyone got to play with my punches, which seemed to be the big attraction. I am a huge fan of the punch.
On this card I used the new Boho Blossoms punch that fits over the flower stamp from One of a Kind. I also used the word window punch.

I only used one stamp set to make this card...BoHo Backgrounds. I did use lots of punches, though. The medallion is punched out with 11/4" circle punch, layered atop a 1 3/4" inch circle punch, layered atop a scallop circle punch. The sentiment was stamped on vanilla and I used the word window punch to let the sentiment show through.

Wow, what a busy weekend! I did a workshop Friday night, one Saturday night and my monthly crop on Sunday. Luckily, today I have no children 'til after school, so I can CHILLAX (as Spazzy would say)!
I also spent the day Saturday with my best girlfriend, Jen, and we had a really fun day!
Today's card is brought to you by the stamp set One of a Kind and the flower punch that matches it! I LOVE this set. These colours together are just so fun.
Stamps: One of a Kind, BoHo Backgrounds
Paper/ink: Old Olive, Purely Pomegranite, Pumpkin Pie
accessories: BoHo Flower punch, pop dots

Have you ever created something and it turned out exactly as you imagined it? Well, this card did! I LOVE the new jumbo wheel, Classic Stars. The new large star punch fits with it perfectly, too. Now I can hardly wait to get my small star punch!

I am currently involved in a swap and I need to decide which card is better. I really like the first one, but am wondering if it's too plain for a swap? (although cutting out that center part was no picnic!)
The second card is wheeled on vellum.
The third card has lots of cut out flowers and dimensionals.
So, which card...1, 2 or 3? Please indicate 1, 2 or 3 in your post.
