Sharing My 10/10/10 Cards From Last Night

I think this set is called Under the Stars, gotta tell you, I love this set! After I ordered it I wasn't quite sure I'd ever use it, but now I am in love with it! I used Pacific Point CS and ink, Kiwi Kiss CS, Basic Grey CS, and Kraft CS, and of course Basic Black ink... I just loved how it turned out!

I'm sure I'll do this one again for other parties, maybe next time I'll use the bear though! It was a huge hit too!
I kinda liked this card too, another simple one using Whisper White CS, Pink Pirouette CS and ink, Certainly Celery CS and marker, Two-Way Glue, and Dazzling Diamonds!
This card I made using the Dreams De Jour set, Chocolate Chip CS and Ink, Pink Pirouette CS, Bella Rose DSP, and Shimmery White CS. I thought it turned out nicely. Kind of elegant and simple!
For this card I used the Just Buzzin' By set from the new catalog, Close to Cocoa CS, Yo-Yo Yellow CS and grosgrain ribbon (retired), Stampin' Up! Watercolor Pencils, and Aqua-painters.
Such a cute set, can't wait to play with it more! Thanks to my mom for letting me borrow it!

I am just loving the simple cards lately! This one is using the Doodle This stamp set, Lovely Lilac CS and ink, Elegant Eggplant CS, and Shimmery White CS. You can't tell from this picture but the cardstock is shimmery. It's beautiful!
This card is actually stunning in person, one of the favorites I've done in a long time and very, very simple. I used the Upsy Daisy stamp set, Brilliant Blue ink and CS, Brushed Silver CS (LOVE IT!), and Basic Grey CS. The effect that the Brilliant Blue has on the Brushed Silver is awesome... I'll probably demonstrate it at more parties!
This is just a variation on an earlier card I posted. I used the Essence of Love (retired) stamp set on Red Riding Hood CS, Red Riding Hood ink, Chocolate Chip CS and ink.
This card uses the Garden Whimsy stamp set, Tempting Turquoise CS, Elegant Eggplant (?) CS and grosgrain ribbon, Versamark ink, and poppin' pastels Elegant Eggplant, Turquoise, and Lovely Lilac.
I love this set, Nature's Silhouettes, but wasn't thrilled with the outcome of the card. Once I looked at it for awhile I realized that it's probably all about the colors. I think it would have looked better with manlier colors. I used Red Riding Hood CS and ink, Chocolate Chip CS and ink, Au Chocolate DSP (I think it might be retired now), and the scallop edger.
Using Kiwi Kiss CS, ink, Inspired By Nature stamp set (dormant list), and Urban Garden DSP
