This card is on Creamy Caramel and Ivory cs with Kiwi Kiss Designer papers. Iused Refuge and Strength set and cut out the stem from Sweet Stems set. Would make a good Easter, encouragement or sympathy card.

This card is on Barely Banana cs with Pretty in Pink and Whisper White and Tea Party DSP. I spamped the large flower from Playful Petals and colored with markers the cut out and added a button to the center and bloom from Bloomin' Beautiful set. A good all-occasion card.

This picture also is on the same papers as the previous one. The verse is from Bellas Bloom and background stamped from Sweet Stems set. The bloom is stamped on white cs and colored with markers and cut out and adhered with glue dots and gold fine glitter on flower. Another cute spring card.

New Cards Before Work

These 2 cards are cased from Gretchen Barron. I love the effect of the sunset. Same 2 stamp sets 2 different scenes. The butterflys are floating, you cannot see it here, but they are attached in the center with glue dots and the wings are bent forward as if they are flying. I used the cloud template that Roseanne Knowles mentioned on her site http://www.sumtoy.com/. I love the look, I might be putting clouds on everything. Thanks Roseanne.

This card is made with the Botanical Blooms set from SAB and Flight of the Butterfly set. Using the rock -n-roll technique and the 2 step stamping with the flowers. Notice the 3D butterfly on the flower. Too Cute.

This card is with the Branch Out stamp set and large and wide ovals and 1 1/4" circle punches. and paper piercing in the upper corners. I also used the Thoughts of Father sentiment. I put the top of the sentiment on the front and the bottom of the stamp inside.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

My birthday was last week so I decided it was time to get in the mood for some upcoming birthdays. It seems we have them scattered throughout the year. Several in the spring. So I thought I would get out the Crazy for Cupcakes Stamp Set and do something with it. I love this set but it seems I get hooked on 1 or 2 sets and let some of the others go by the wayside. So here are a few cards I made this morning before work.

This first one I used Bashful Blue, Pretty in Pink and Certainly Celery cs with matching markers and blue ribbon. I used 1 1/4 and 1 3/8" circles, large oval and the label punches and DSP from SAB mini. I love this card and the colors but I cannot take credit for the layout, I saw a card from Gretchen Barron's site, she makes such nice cards in colors and layouts. I love her ideas, so I borrowed this layout. I hope that you like it also. Thanks Gretchen.

This one I used So Saffron, celery and bashful blue papers and markers. The wide and large ovals and 1 1/4" circle punches and celery ribbon. Very simple but sweet.

This card I used Orchid Oppulance, Pixie Pink and Whisper White cs. I cut out the cupcake and on the icing i used white embossing and chunky glitter, marker on the candle and pieced it back together. I also used versamark on the background and white grosgrain ribbon.

MINI-MAGAZINE HOLDERS

Aren't these so cute. They are so easy to make. I can't take all the credit for the design. They are so practical for the office or just at home on your desk. You'll be the talk of the office, they'll all want one. Ok, mabe not, but aren't they cute. Just the right size for 3x3 note cards or post-its. These are made with Kiwi Kiss, Real Red, Choc Chip and Pink Pirouette and Bella Rose DSP.
