Today was a fun day!! My DD Cristine and my SIL Gail joined me at a "Year of Cards" SU Stamping/Scrapping event. We didn't make the scrapbook pages, just the cards. We had a great time! Took us 2-1/2 hours to make these 12 cards. I have the Recipe at the bottom, but not broken down for each card, as I'm not sure of all of the names. I did not know that if you use Black ink on Gloss White cardstock, it turns out purple!! (As in the Halloween card) Very cool!!! I love this Berry stamp, may have to order it!! I had to change the sentiment when I got home, as I smeared the one I made there! Aren't those die cut Flowers the greatest??!! I Love Loads of Love! This is a very Patriotic card!! The Valentine is embossed. I like both of these cards, but especially the 2nd. Colors are great! The white piece is embossed, but it is hard to tell. These 2 turned out cool too!! I probably would have used a darker background behind the "Give Thanks." I would h...
