Lattice and Butterflys

Hi Friends...

I'm still sick and at the same time, I keep telling myself I'm OK. However, my energy level is quite low but I'm still trying to make cards. I'm trying to get some cards done for OWH. So today is a quick post. My card uses a butterfly punch and a Lattice Die from SU. The butterfly's are stamped and heat embossed than punched out. The sentiment is from a Free Sale-A-Bration set I got for placing a $50 order. Thanks for stopping by and...

Have a Great Day...

Making Cards for Operation Write Home

Hi Stampers...
I've been making a few cards for OWH while I'm stuck being sick. Woah bad cold/flu...so I locked myself up in my craft room and I'll make a card than lay down than make a card lay down...you get the picture. Good thing I have a Futon in my craft room. So here are a couple of cards I made yesterday.

I had an old stamp from The Angel Company (Happy Mother's Day), however, it did not fit in my oval so I just cut the words apart. The printed paper is also from The Angel Company. I'm trying to use up old supplies and what better way than making cards for Soldiers. The Angel Co. does not exist anymore and I really do miss them!

This card uses an array of supplies...I stamped and fussy cut the roses and leaves the hounds tooth background strip is stamped using the Distressed Backgrounds from CTMH, the pearls were colored with a copic marker to match my matted bkgrd. The embossed dots is a folder I purchased at a craft store...

Now I have to go lay down and wait for a little energy...

Buzz and Bumblebee

Hi Stampers...
I just wanted to do a quick post sharing some of the cards I've made using the Buzz and Bumblebee Paper pack. I don't know why but I just love this paper pack from Close to my heart.

This card uses the Honeycomb Stamp C1537 I just love the hexagons which are HOT right now. The sentiment is also included in that set. The flowers and bee are stamped with the stamp set from the Buzz and Bumble Workshop Kit.  The card below also uses this stamp set. The flowers are fussy cut and popped up.

and this last card I created from a sketch that I saw on the OWH(Operation Write Home) site. The stamp set used here is A1135 Quick cards Bumble Bee. All paper is from the Buzz and Bumblebee Paper Pack.

I hope you enjoyed todays cards and all products that I used can be purchased here

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by,

Stippled Blossoms...

Hi Stampers,

The card I'm sharing today is using a 2 step stamp set. The set is called Stippled Blossoms and it's from Stampin'Up. I have to say that I just LOVE this set. It's so easy to use. If you use a lighter color ink for the bold image and a darker color for the line or detailed image...it comes out perfect every time. Anyone can do this. I used a light pink for the bold image which I stamped first and went back with a darker pink for the detailed image...so pretty. What do you think?

 

 

I added a few colored pearls and stamped the sentiment in black. How simple is that. Hope you enjoyed today's card...

Thanks for visiting me,
