Deadline to get your spot: May 28

Mix-n-match stripes

Oh this card is fun!!!

It's important that you get it off to a right start so I'll show you the steps on white with tan paper. 

Step 1: It doesn't really matter the width of each strip. I made all mine 3/4" & 1/2" & alternated the widths.

Start with one piece in this position. Doesn't have to be exact. Adhere.

Step 2: Place any square cornered piece of paper here to get your next piece nice & square. I used a sticky note. Butt another strip of DSP at this position shown below. 

Step 3: Place another strip as shown below. 

Step 4: Place another in the position shown below. That's all the hard part! Now just fill in the bottom with strips, cut edges at card stock. 

Add embellishments, stamps & greeting! 

A lovely card!!

"One in a Melon"

Its almost watermelon season!! I wish the colors showed up as well here as they do in person. This is Pink Pirouette & Basic Black & of course Garden Green. 

I used 1 1/2" circle punch & 1 3/4" scallop circle punch for watermelons. Then mounted & cut in 1/2. 

Another SUUUUUPER simple card!!

Enjoy!!

Star Baby!!

Love this sweet baby card!! This is another kind of card you need to keep on hand!

I used Wysteria Wonder, Pear Pizzaz, Soft Sky & So Saffron CS & ink. The little star punches coordinate with the star embossed background. The Square Punches are 1" & 1 1/4". Super easy!! 

Switch up the colors & use the letters for LOVE, YOU!, GIRL, BOY (add a little symbol at the end of three letter words on the last block  or just spread them out). You can do a great variety of things with this card!! Happy Stamping!

Wedding Wishes

June is the "wedding month" so we better stock up on wedding cards! 

This card is neutral colored to go with any wedding color scheme. 

Note the pearls on strategic flowers in the DSP. 

Finished card! Love the different textures: 

Lace, stripes, ribbon!! Perfect for that special day!!

Sunburst-y Sunshine

Spring has sprung & here's a great card to go with all the sunshine we are having!

I used the Sunburst framelit. Tempting Turquoise is the card base & baseground.  With Daffodil Delight over top it sure makes you feel like summer!!

I love this card & believe it or not...it's this months "5 Second Card"!! It's THAT easy! 

Western Fathers Day

Here's a card for your favorite cowboy!

A great way to say "Happy Fathers Day" for sure! The color combination I used was Crumb Cake & Marina Mist. I thot it went nicely together.

Pretty simple & so classy!

Have fun!

School of Fathers Day Fish

Fathers Day will be upon us before we know it!! Here's a dandy little card that's simple but looks like you took HOURS to make!

Card base is Night of Navy. The white piece is 3x 4 1/4". Stamp lighter background images using Night of Navy& Bermuda Bay inks. Then stamp fish in dark Night of Navy. Add a piece of frayed out Burlap ribbon (cut in 1/2 lengthwise then pull the strings out) 

Add a piece of Bermuda Bay ribbon over top. Add your greeting to top it all off! Isn't it just adorable?!?

Graduation 2016

Well... It's that time of year... Little fledglings teetering on the edge of the proverbial nest, ready to try their wings... 

You better have an awesome card waiting for just such an occasion!! Aaaaaaand....here it is!!!

Seeing Stars is the background ( stamp off 1-2 times to lighten)

Then I used the Celebrate Today stamp set with the BalloonFramelits. For ink & card stock I used Basic Black & Basic Gray. Loved the way this turned out!

By the way...enjoy the last days of your fledgling in your nest!!

Congrats-YOU-lations

This card would be awesome as a graduation card but also for any time where congratulations are in order! 

I used Pool Party, Pear Pizzaz & Smoky Slate. 

And this cool stamp set- Bravo!

Great sentiments to wish someone well!!

Heart-y Flower

Oh now THIS is CUTE!!!! Just scraps of DSP punch with Full Heart punch to make flower petals behind a 2" Circle punch. 

Faux stitching & a scribbly stem really sets it off!! 

Use any color scheme to make it your own. Altho you do want to remember that a white background DSP will get lost on a white card  base. Have fun!!

Iris' for Mothers Day

This is my favorite stamp when it comes to painting with Pearl paint. So this year I decide to do one for each of our moms. 

Arent they just beautiful?!! I've done sooooo many of these over the years but never for Mothers Day for our moms.

I'm thinking they will love them!!
