Last week I posted a card with a Gold Foil Hexagon Hive. At the time, I said that I wasn't happy with it and I wanted to make some changes to my card. Several of you encouraged me to post the changes. I am happy to report that I made the changes and I am much happier with my card. Please tell me what you think.
The co;or combo is the same on both cards but I replaced the stamped black flowers from the first card with Petite Petals stamped with Strawberry Slush Ink and punched out with the Petite Petals Punch. In addition, I added some Wild Wasabi leaves punched with the Bird Builder Punch.
The Gold Foil Hexagon is trimmed down in size from the full die cut. The finished card is stil 4-1/2" x 4-1/2". Take a look at the cards side by side. Which one do you prefer?

When I arrived home yesterday from the basketball tournament (the team my son coaches won the District Championship! -yea), I noticed that the blog post that I planned for today inadvertantly posted yesterday. Yep. I had 2 posts yesterday. Still wanting to have a post today, I quickly photographed a card and an updated version this a.m. My stamp set of choice today is an oldie but a goodie! And, it has a matching punch. Create a Cupcake stamp set combined with the Cupcake Builder Punch make quick work of this card. No fussy cutting!
This card idea is from Andrea Walford. My version is very similar but I added more texture by using the Decorative Dots Embossing Folder on the Crumb Cake c.s. and stamping the sentiment and punching it out with the Modern Label Punch. Best part – you can get the embossing folder free with any $50 order not including shipping & tax)
Both cards used the same color combo and the Birthday Basics Designer Series Paper. Creating birthday cards is so easy with the help of this paper! It has so many wonderful patterns to choose from.
The sentiment comes from the all-purpose stamp set - Sweet Essentials. This is a good all around set that contains a nice variety of greetings. And, it fir perfectly in the Modern Label Punch. The sentiment was popped up for added dimension using Stampin' Dimensionals.
Here's a look at the cards together.
A trio of Basic Rhinestone jewels and my card is complete.

Feb 23, 2014 | Hello |
For a change of pace today, I am sharing a bright and colorful Circle Thinlit Card with Timeless Talk as the centerpiece.
The Kaleidoscope dsp has the most fun paper to work with! I chose the dramatic black & white stripe for the back of the card. A touch of the Bermuda Bay dot pattern along with a small zig zag strip of Primose Petals adds a nice contrast to the black.
Keeping with the black & white theme, I stamped the old style dial phone from the Timeless Talk stamp set. I used the scallop circle from the Circle Thinlit Die to cut out the phone. It was popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals on a Black Circle punched with the 2-1/2" circle punch. Every other scallop was enhanced with a Basic Rhinestone Jewel. And a pop of color was added to the center of the phone with a Melon Mambo Candy Dot.
The back of the circle was stamped with an image from Timeless Talk and also cut with the Scallop Circle Die found in the Circle Thinlit Die. That was then popped up on a circle of dsp from Kaleidoscope pack that was punched with the 2-1/2" Circle Punch.
