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!
