Wonderful Fishy Friend

Do you know a fisherman?

I sure do!! I have three of them living in my house!!!

Here's a fabulous card for your favorite fisherman! I used several stamp sets. I used Wonderful Favorites, By The Tide & Calm Seas. For the color scheme I used Very Vanilla, Soft Suede & Pacific Point. 

This is the first time I have used the wide Burlap Ribbon. It's really cool cuz you can cut it down the middle and pull the strings out, use the frayed part & then use the strings under the brad!! Cute card,huh?

Piggie Punch Art

From 4H to your general pig lover, I think everyone knows someone who's fond of the little oinkers!! 

What an adorable little guy to congratulate someone or wish them well!

The punches I used are as follows:

Petals punch

1 3/4" circle punch 

2 1/2" circle punch

3/4" circle punch

Owl Builder punch

Modern Label punch

So cute & simple!!

With Sympathy

My sweet 87 year old friend passed peacefully to her heavenly reward this week. My mind is kinda on sympathy cards today. I'm sure others will need sympathy cards along the way as well.I like using the "Fifth Avenue Floral" set  for a sympathy card... It's simple but elegant!!

Black & Flowery Birthday

Classy...bright...summery....simple.... What more can you ask for in a card?!?

Pair Petite Petal stamp set with the Petite Petal Punch & you have a suuuuper easy card. The card base is Basic Black and the white front is cut freehand. 

Tea Just For You

Do you have a great friend that is a tea lover? I do!!! This is an awesome way to remember them & let them know that you're thinking of them! As the days of Fall get cooler they will love a nice hot cup of tea!! The card base is cut 12x4".

Score from one end @ 4 3/4". Move that score line to the 4 3/4" line & score again. That leaves you a nice flap to decorate.

I used the Ovals Framelits to shape the flap. The greeting on the flap is the large oval punched first then use the Curly Label punch to punch "around" the oval.

The inside has a nice generous space for you to write your sentiment on.

Plus a little pocket for a tea bag.  If you don't want to tuck a tea bag in there...what about a gift card for a hostess, cash for a teenager or candy or gum for a child. Very fun card template  to change & make your own!!

Bowling Just For You

If you know a bowler, this is the card for you!! So simple to make using the following punches:

1" circle

1 1/4" circle

Standard Hole punch

Word Window Punch

Modern Label punch

Cream Large Oval

I used Real Red, Crumb Cake & Marina Mist CS. I used the Lattice Embossing  folder for the background.

Have fun!!

Falling Stars

Here's a great masculine card that Is just super simple!!

Think of all the possibilities with this one!! 

I used the 3/4" circle punch. I started by centering my first punch on each side then centering each side punch between the center punch & the edge. Super easy!!

Another great way to use DSP scraps!
