Hi Everyone. Happy Wednesday Night. Tonight's card features Vintage Vogue (118589 clear mount or 117690 wood mount) and Herb Expressions (113224) stamp sets. I haven't actually used these stamp sets, so was looking forward to playing with my new toys!!!
Before we get started on tonight's card, a shout out to all of you who commented on Beth's cards from last night's post. My thanks to Cam, Amy (Beth's DD), Mary Jane and Karen. I really appreciate you taking the time to comment – and I know Beth does, too!
So… as part of my new year's resolution…. I am still trying to use colors, etc. that I don't normally use… and this past week seems to have been all PINK… Now…. for those of you who know me… and those of you who follow my blog… you will know that PINK is not my normal color…. it must have been the fact that I didn't have a Barbie doll as a child… my mother wouldn't ever buy me one… oh! I realize I must have been a deprived child! Anyway… where was I? Oh, yes! PINK! So, imagine my surprise when I seem to have produced an over abundance of PINK cards this past week.
I also pulled out a Stampin' Around wheel that I haven't used before… Could you hold on a moment whilst I slap myself on the back!… OK… I'm back.. excuse the non intended pun! Pink cards… wheels.. cards.. .OK.. I'm back (couldn't resist it :-)..) on track!
I love the Very Vanilla and the Pretty in Pink together and I LOVE the sentiments on the Kindness Jumbo Wheel (106750). I thought they fit very well with the sentiment from the Herb Expressions set.
Card recipe:
- Rose Red, Very Vanilla and Pretty in Pink card stock
- Vintage Vogue (118598), Herb Expressions (113224) and Kindness Wheel (106750)
- Pretty in Pink epoxy brads from the new mini (117271)
- Iridescent Ice embossing powder (101930)
I stamped the F(friends) as the central image in Pretty in Pink craft ink and then embossed it with the Iridescent Ice. I matted that on a Piece of Pretty in Pink and Rose Red card stock.
I rolled the Kindness wheel, which had been inked in Pretty in Pink, onto Very Vanilla card stock and stamped the "Thanks for Blessing my Life with You" sentiment from the Herb Expressions set onto the card stock using Pretty in Pink classic ink.
I cut the legs off the epoxy brads and mounted them using 3 or 4 mini glue dots.
A night of freezing rain and sleet tonight, so driving home was tough for some. This weekend we are expecting rain – as the temps are supposed to get into the 30s! We might even get above zero. 🙂
I hope you all have a fabulous Thursday and, as always, thank you so much for visiting my little stampin space. I really appreciate it.
Peace
Jaydee

I love that wheel! It adds such a cute border. I’m so proud of you…you are doing so well keeping up with stepping outside of your color box.
Another beautiful card! I love that shine on the Friend stamp.
It was a lot of fun having my cards on the blog yesterday. I sent some of my facebook friends the link too, so you should have had a lot of people viewing your blog yesterday!
I hope your mailman has many, many cards to deliver to you in the next few weeks!

Beth, I am so pleased you enjoyed your very well deserved time in the spotlight yesterday! I knew people would love your creations! I did get hits from Facebook yesterday – now I know why! And I, too, hope that the mail man will have many boxes of cards to deliver to me.
Big hugs
Jaydee
Beautiful card. I love that new image.
The wheel in the background really adds a lot to your card. I love the irridescent ice embossing powder, it makes the “F” look like it is more than one color. Really neat effect. Very nice card. I like the sentiment, I do not have that one to use.
