Bitty Squares LOVE

Fun card, fun colors!

I used the Petite Curly Label punch paired with the Small heart ( you could use the heart in the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack) & the 1" Square punch  to create this card. Pool Party & Calypso Coral are great together , don't you think? 

1/2 Circle Birthday

This card reminds me of a little girls Easter dress for some reason. Maybe the white looks like a lace collar, I dont know, but I sure think this card is cute. 

I used the Scallop Circle die & embossed it. (your choice of embossing but something flowery)

Cut the circle in 1/2 and adhere to card, leaving the bottom open for tucking ribbon flags underneath. Trim edges. Add ribbon & flag ends or cut at a slant. Using flower punches such as Pansy punch & Boho Flower punch, punch white flowers & sponge edges. Stack, pierce & add brad.  Punch out leaves using Owl Builder punch or Little Leaves Sizzlet. Arrange leaves & flowers, add a greeting & viola! you're finished!!!

Masculine Stars

I love plaid!

My class loves masculine cards because sometimes they can be intimidating to design & make. Stars & plaid are a great combo don't you think? I do!!

This was actually some left over Halloween DSP but I love it for making masculine cards. 

Grunge Happy Bday

The grunge set that is in the current catalog is actually what was used on this card in the sample. But I used the set I had. Kind of a free style card... Stamping where you feel led....creating your own design. I used Basic Black, Crumb Cake & Island Indigo inks. 

Little Gecko

Here's an oldie!!! This was part of a stamp set called "Southwest". (Pictured below) 

I've always loved this set because it's bold & you can use such awesome colors with it! This time I chose the gecko.  Great card for a boy... Or anyone who's fond of geckos. 

Basically this card is just DSP & a stamped image. Super easy! 

Have fun with it!!

Little Ninjas

They're BACK!!! Aren't these the cutest little guys you ever saw??? And are they ever simple???!? Use the large oval punch & 1 1/4" circle punch for their faces. 1/2" strip is their masks (adhered then trimmed to fit). For the little tails of masks that peek out from behind their heads use the Chevron punch then snip it into at the V. I used the Honeycomb embossing folder for background but you could really use anything or... Just leave it blank! Cute!!!
