Another idea for Mother's Day!

Most of my April hostesses are asking for Mother's Day cards as their make-n-takes, so I have been working on this type of card. Here is an elegant card featuring the always elegant "Carte Postale" set. I used Always Artichoke, Bashful Blue, annd So Saffron inks and cs. I also used some Le Jardin dsp, large square punch, gold brad and cord. The sentiment is from "All Holidays." I hope you all have a great day! I'll be posting some other Mother's Day cards soon...

A Cute B-day card!

Here is a cute B-day card I forgot to post during SAB. Even though it uses "Birthday Whimsy," you can use any b-day set with a cake. I used Barely Banana, Bashful Blue, and Pretty In Pink inks, markers, and cs. I also used my favorite background, Print Pattern. Use some gingham ribbon and the tab punch and you have an easy and fun card.

Oops!

After I downloaded the two cards below, my hand bumped the "Publish Post" button! OOPS! I think I'm going to have one of those days today... Anyway, I used these cards in a workshop to demo the ease and elegance of rub-ons. These cards are variations on a previous post using "Friendship Blooms" and SAB rub-ons. The colors are: Basic Black, Purely Pomegranate, and Pretty In Pink. I love to make a few cards using the same sets and colors, but with different layouts and embellishments.

Rub-On

An idea for Mother's Day!

Here is a fun and easy card, similar to one in the Spring & Summer Collection, that you can use to show off your felt flowers from Flower Fusion. I used Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, and Rose Red, as well as Bali Breeze DSP. The sentiment is from the set "All Holidays." I added some gold brads and ribbon to add some dimension. Try these flowers! They make your card look very elegant.

Cute as a Bug!

I found a copy of this cute card that I used for a swap last year. It's called "Cute As A Bug!" I used Real Red, Glorious Green, Basic Black, and Whisper White to create this picnic-themed b-day card. I also used Print Pattern background, tag punch, large and medium square punched, and some black gingham ribbon. Here's to the picnic season! I am soooo ready for warm weather...

An Oldie But Goodie...

I made this card for a workshop last year and it is just so simple and cute that I had to share it! I used the "Polka Dots & Paisley" set for my focus and I wanted to use bright and cheerful colors. My colors were: Tempting Turquoise, Pink Passion, Basic Black, and Whisper White. I also used some black gingham ribbon and the large square punch. Easy Peasy to demo!

Spring Colors...

I am so ready for Spring weather! At least we got outside today here in Central Pa. Here is a simple, easy to demo card made with "Carte Postale." I needed to use bright colors to brighten my less than great mood today. I used Regal Rose, Bashful Blue, Whisper White, Green Galore, and a bit of Chocolate Chip. I also used some blue gingham ribbon and the large square punch. The sentiment is from "Warmest Regards," and old hostess set that I will NEVER part with! Think Spring!

Showing the ease of Rub-ons...

My "Card Clubs" are this week and the ladies asked to have a demo on rub-ons. I decided to do two cards of a similar style, one with rub-ons to show and one without to demo. I chose the great rub-ons from Sale-A-Bration. I used Purely Pomegranate, Pretty In Pink, Whisper White, and Basic Black cs and ink. I also used the matching stamp set "Friendship Blooms." For accents, I used: ribbon, Boho Blossoms punch, ticket corner punch, and "Itty Bitty Backgrounds." Hopefully the ladies will enjoy seeing this card!

Beep! Beep!

It's March B-day time! Our family has lots of birthdays coming up. I made this card for my son's best buddy who just turned 4! I used the adorable retired set "By Land." I love to use bright colors for kiddo cards, so I used Yoyo Yellow, Real Red, and Green Galore cs and ink. I also used markers and black gingham ribbon. For a sky and road effect, I sponged Tempting Turquoise and Basic Grey onto the Whisper White. Beep-Beep!

Fruit Stand

I have several clubs and workshops coming up where people have asked for Mother's Day cards. Here is a card made with my new set "Fruit Stand." I love this set! It is very simple and is a very country-type style, which I love. I used Black Staz-On to stamp the line image onto Naturals Ivory, then I colored the image in with my Watercolor Wonder crayons/Aqua Painter. I matted the image onto Lovely Lilac and Elegant Eggplant. Then mounted that onto Creamy Caramel. The background is done in Creamy Caramel, using the Canvas and Sanded background stamps. I also added some ribbon and Hodgepodge Hardware. The sentiment is from "All Holidays. I sponged Creamy Caramel over the surface of the card when I was done to give it an aged look.

Think of the beach!!!

Here is my last card that I am posting from my Simply Scrappin' Kit "Summer Days." Not that I couldn't make a TON more, I have lots of paper and die cuts left, but I am moving on to my "Card Clubs" that I have later this month. For this adorable card, I used elements and paper from the kit, and I also used my paper piercer from my Crafter's Tool Kit. Love this tool! This card makes me want to go to the beach!

A new set!

The new Occasions Mini-Catalog is finally here! This great Grad card uses not only a Simply Scrappin' Kit, but also the new set called "In The Stars." I love this set because it is very versatile. I also used both of SU's awesome star punches, some silver brads, and some silver elastic cord. The colors are: Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Bashful Blue, and Wild Wasabi. This would also make a great Father's Day card with a different sentiment. Email me if you are interested in any of SU's great new sets!
