Polka Dot Pieces Flower Card
Quick and simple with a rich color combination – that is all I need to say about this card. Well, and I need to be a better photographer.

Today's long farewell to a retiring stamp set is Party Hearty! This stamp set is so perfect for all those birthdays – young or old, feminine or masculine, and can even be used for the cupcake lover!
The color combination was new to me…but it is perfect for those masculine cards! Pear Pizzazz, Night of Navy, and Early Espresso!
This card uses the polka dot embossing folder. Just in case you didn't want to feature the adorable cupcake, this is certainly another sweet card for any age!
Glittery cupcakes – aren't they fabulous! To make this card, I used the Glitter Window technique!

Halloween Hoot Witch
Today's Halloween sample is from Halloween Hoot – this witch reminds me of one of my favorite childhood books – The Witch Next Door.
I embossed the image with Black Embossing Poweder, used the Polka Dot embossing folder for the bottom piece, and put a glitter brad on top.
