Sending Hugs Card

Hi!

How is your day going so far?  I'm up early excited to be visiting my with my Dad! :)  Before my day gets busy, I thought I'd pop on and share a cute card I made using one of my favorite stamp sets, the Oh, Hello set by Stampin' Up! Here is my card:

I used the chevron stamp to create a quilted look.  I used markers to stamp it in different colors and added a little patterned paper to the center.

This one was fun- I definitely needed my Stamp-a-ma-jig for lining up those chevrons though! :)  The sentiment is from Lawn Fawn- I always think of hugs when I think of quilts.  We have one that is special made from my hubby's grandma- I always tell my girls that when they're wrapped up in it, they're getting hugs from Grandma Wise!  It always makes them feel good!

OK!  Hope you have a great Monday!

Orange Kite Card

Hi!

Can you believe it's already March 1st? I am surprised how fast this year is going by already! Here in Northern Virginia, it feels like spring- we have the most beautiful weather today and it is making me want to go outside and play! I actually weeded my flower beds this morning and found lots of bulbs up and ready to bloom! I can't wait!

Today's card is very springy! I used the new Send Me Soaring set from the Stampin' Up! Occasions Mini Catalog. Here is my card:

Goodies:
all products by Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted

Stamps: Send Me Soaring
Ink: Pool Party Lucky Limeade, Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie classic inks
Paper: Whisper White cardstock; Flirtatious DSP
Accessories: baker's twine by Pink Paislee

The simple layout was inspired by this card Debby at the Lime Doodle Blog created. I loved the idea of stamping my sky scene on the white banner and anchoring it with baker's twine!

Anyways, better get back to the little ones... I think we're going to get the bubbles out today! Hope you are having a great day and thanks for stopping by today!
