The fun of this skip it to see how everyone used the same kit in different ways! Everyone got the same package in the mail with all the goodies to play with for this blog skip!! Two stamped images and three patterned papers, how fun!

I watercolored the images with SU! inks and an aqua painter. I found a video the other day which took the NEW Cupcake Punch from SU! and used it to make some clouds, I totally think that is the cutest! So I made some for the yellow flowered card. I also added dots to the image with a SU! white gel pen and made it an easel card too! You know I love easel cards, LOL!!!

The other card I used the SU! Framed Oval Die and cut it out twice....I used last years DSP and ran the scalloped frame part through my crimping tool, then kinda pleated it around the oval. I then took some ribbon and pleated it around the DSP as well. The sentiment is from last years Sale-a-bration stamp set and the crazy shape was achieved by punching it out twice with the curly label punch!On both cards I punched out different sizes of flowers with the green patterned paper they gave us to use and nested them together.
Well, I hope you have a great time checking out all the lovely inspiration from the skip!
Now, your next stop on the skip will be the very creative Paula. She is also a sweet friend whom I've gotten to know through my SU! stamp club....so go check out her beautiful card and leave her some love!!! Her blog is always full of inspiration to motive you!

Wow! What very ornate cards you created with the images... I love the pleated frame and ribbon. Your cards have a very vintage feel to them...

Your cards are adorable. Love the pleated ribbon effect.
Wowsie, wow, wow! You made some gorgeousness alright. We need a tutorial on your clever scallop crimping idea.
You have made some awesome cards! I think I might have to come back and have a second look.
ooooo, your ribbon work is lovely, and adds such luxuriousness to your beautiful work!
Holley these are both fantastic! What a nice surprise when that first card opens to reveal those pretty details and I think I need a tutorial on just how you managed to crimp and pleat those borders so beautifully.
I think I need to move closer to you, my Stampin Up demo, so I can attend some workshops you do!!
I love both cards, but the oval ribbon frame you created is just amazing! I'm going to check around the blog for a bit more inspiration now. Thanks for sharing!
I don't know if I can come up with anything more than WOW - everything about this card is WOW - I'll also be back to check out the rest of your blog
Oh my they are both just gorgeous, neat designs on both, cute idea with the punch for the sentiment on the first and I so love the pleating in the second, pretty flowers all around!!

Cutest cards ever. LOVE the ribbons!
WOW! Both cards are magnificent! I especially like the easel card- the way the image pokes up over the base and the way the clouds seem to really float. TFS
