Celebrate

And yet another card using the stitched dies! I really do love them and am not going to hoard the pieces that I cut in Omaha. :) I can hopefully make more in June. Gosh, that's next month!!! Amazing how time flies.

A very simple card. I cut the rectangle out of a piece of 5.5 x 4.25 white cardstock. I adhered it to the card front. The flower is a dimensional sticker from K&Co. The sentiment is stamped in purple and is from Papertrey Ink.

This card, and the last three before this, were done while we were on vacation in Branson, Missouri. We were there for a week. Had an awesome time, got lots of hiking in, and even a little card-making:) We got home last night about 8:00. Lots of laundry to do today!

Daisy Hello

More leftovers:) The daisy is the very last one of several that I had. (I thought they were long gone, but one more showed up!) The stem and leaves were from the same sticker set from Elizabeth Craft that I used yesterday. The yellow panel was cut with a die. I love the "stitched" dies. The background was embossed and in my pile. I matted the layers with black.

Daisy Thank You

I had a great beginning of the week and I made ten cards in about three days. Such fun! Now I have lots to share with you - one at a time:)

Here is the first one - a very simple thank you card. The square white piece was left over from a card I made a couple weeks ago - a window card. I was digging through my sticker drawers and happened across this daisy. I thought they were all gone, but I was delighted to find one more! It is from K & Co. I stuck it to the square and mounted the square on foam squares. The patterned paper is from a very old matstack from Stampin' Up. The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

Sympathy

A simple sympathy card for today.

I still had my Sizzix/Hero Arts stamp and die set out from a few weeks ago, so I used it for this card. I mounted the sentiment panel on foam squares. The patterned paper is from K & Co. and I matted with Mellow Moss cardstock. It was fun to have a little time for card-making yesterday. I have a couple more cards to share with you soon.

Sticker Halloween Cards

I was at JoAnn's on Wednesday and saw these stickers from K & Co for half price. I couldn't resist! I did, however, want to use them all up ... so I did. These are for our grandchildren. I woke up really early this morning and decided to work on them.

Not a lot of explanation is necessary, I believe. The goldish oval mats are made with the packaging from the stickers, cut with Nestabilities. The black is kind of a vinyl-ish cardstock. The Halloween paper is from a Recollection pad. The sentiment is from a dollar clear set. The card bases are all ivory. I think that's about it! The stickers are quite layered, which you can't really tell from the pictures.

Oh yeah, the grass on this one is a die cut that I made a couple years ago, using a friend's die. Not positive where it's from, but I'm pretty sure it's from My Favorite Things

Flutter By Wednesday #194 - Send a Smile 4 Kids

This card is for two challenges. It's for Flutter By Wednesday Challenge #194. The FBW challenge this week is to make a card for Send a Smile 4 Kids. Remember to include a butterfly, angel or fairy. You can find the information on the Flutter By Wednesday blog. You can also check it out directly on the Smiles 4 Kids Challenge blog. It's also for the challenge on the SAS4K challenge blog, which is to create a Clean and Simple card for kids. Be sure to check out what the FBW Design Team has come up with!


The idea for my card actually came from the SAS4K challenge. It gave a definition of Clean and Simple. Then it stated "CAS does not mean slap a couple stickers on a card and call it done." That reminded me that I had some beautiful butterfly stickers that would work very nicely:) I cut out a white circle for the butterfly to rest on. I drew in the antennae. I matted with Pale Plum cardstock cut with a Nestability. I mounted on Dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment (from Papertrey Ink) on the white cardstock, then embossed with a Swiss Dots folder. I matted with the same plum cardstock. You can't see it in the photo, but the butterfly has sparkle to it.

Super Simple Thank You

A very simple Thank You card for a friend.


I embossed the design with a Sizzix embossing folder on textured yellow cardstock with a white core. After embossing, I sanded down the embossed parts so the white showed through. I added the daisy - from K & Co. That's it.

SplitCoastStampers Sketch Challenge

I made this card yesterday for SplitCoastStampers Sketch Challenge #349. 


I started with white daisies and sprayed them with blue glimmer mist. I added the centers, which I cut with glittery yellow cardstock. The sentiment is from Gina K and stamped with Versamagic Night Sky. I embossed the background panel with my Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder. The matting is Enchanted Evening by Papertrey Ink.

A CASE of My Own Card:)

Running short of time and projects, so I'll share this CASE of my own card.  It's almost identical to one I posted a few days ago - just a different color.  This is one of my favorite color combinations, so I had to try the card with a daisy and using yellow and white:)


Just like the other, this one uses patterned paper from Debbie Mumm's Baby Girl matstack.  I punched the top edge with a Martha Stewart Four-Petal Eyelet Edge punch and rounded the bottom corners with a Fiskars corner rounder.  I also rounded the bottom corners on the card base.  I added a couple scored lines with my Scor-Pal and sanded them down a bit.  Then I punched the row of white flowers with a Martha Stewart Daisy Chain Double Edge punch.  I added pearls to the top row of flowers.  I stamped the sentiment, from Papertrey, with black ink and added the daisy from K & Co.
