This card i made for one of my brothers. I actually had to piece together the front of the card(with the monaco and golf pic), because I had two scraps of the same paper, but neither were big enough to fit the front.

This is a booklet i was making for a history project. It turned out really cute!

Here are the instructions for the cards I made.
~ I used a rubber stamp for the flower, and coloured it with a few Twinkling H2Os (Kiwi for the stems; Sweet Thistle for the purple-ish one; African Jade; Lemondrop; and Apple Blossom.
~ Next, for the topper, I cut 4"x1.5" strips of Coredinations Cardstock. Then I simply adhered some matching ribbon.
~ For the stamp, I used my Fiskars Stamping Press, Memento Ink(Tuxedo Black), and a stamp from a Stampin' Up collection.
~ After stamping my sentiment, I used a punch(Mcgrill Fancy Label). The bottom matte is an E.K. Success punch, and I popped up the sentiment with Stampin' Up Stamping Dimensions.
~I just put it all together, and actually decided after to do a border punch on the bottom of my topper.
Here's what the kits looked like:
