I’m flabbergasted. It’s almost the end of February! I think as we get older the years just fly by.
This week I’m sharing a Mother’s Day card. Loved making the card, but I have no mother or even mother in law. One of my son’s will want, though!
Super easy here. I felt like going blue with this one. Just a few strips of paper coordinating with the blue background. Papers are Echo Park My Favorite Spring. Add a nice bow. I chose this scripture as it is all love. That’s what Mother’s Day is all about!
I added a Happy Mother’s Day banner to the center. The sentiment could easily be changed if the receiver want to reuse it. I actually like that!
Just under 2 months until Easter! I wish our weather would respect that! Time to change to Daylight Savings time in less than a month!
I’ll be stocking up on Easter cards as they are my favorite. Usually with bright colors and flowers, as I’ve done here.
As you may have noticed, this is my favorite spring colors. I also love small patterned prints for most of my colors. This particular card was super easy to make! A couple of die cuts, some pretty papers and done.
Good morning! It’s frigid cold here. I am wrapped in a blanket trying not to let me teeth chatter. Not an easy task!
Another personal challenge. I have struggled to make a CAS (Clean and Simple) card from the day I started crafting 20+ years ago.
The picture may be deceiving. All I did was stamp the image on 5.25 x 4″ panel. I colored it with Copic markers. Then I placed the cross die from Easter is for Jesus on top of the flower and die cut the middle. I replaced the cross popping it up on dimensionals.
Are you ready or getting ready for Easter? It is April 9th this year. Easter has always been my favorite. Getting dressed up in a new dress, shoes and don’t forget my Easter bonnet.
This week, I’m sharing my first Easter card of the season. I’m still working on valentines as well. Busy, busy, busy!
Spring colors always make me smile in anticipation of the end of Winter. My card is super simple. I even used the formerly popular brads!
Didn’t we just get through Christmas and New Year? Yet Valentine’s Day is just a few weeks away. I love “love” cards. I do find it challenging to make male oriented cards, but I sure get lots of my husband’s crew wanting them for their wives/significant others.
I love mixing patterns, too. These papers are Carta Bella’s my valentine paper.
I thought green was not your typical valentine’s color, but I think it works rather well.
My wish for everyone is a happy, healthy, prosperous new year. I’m staying positive about a better 2023.
Today I’m sharing a sympathy card. Sadly, I do not have enough in my stash. I hope I don’t have a need any time soon.
I always feel a little sad when making sympathy cards. My aunts are all getting up there in age, and since I lost my mom so many years ago, they are my rocks. My substitute moms.
For the background here, I used three different colored Novu Micro mist in dark blue, dark purple and gold. I stippled on some white ink. This was done on watercolor paper.
The Stamp Simply design team is sharing their favorites from 2022. I picked these several weeks ago, so my favorites would include a few more. I was on leave for a large portion of 2022, but once I started getting my MoJo flowing, I have even more favorites. I’ll share those another time.
Since this will be my last post for the year, I first want to say MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
Today’s challenge was to make an easily reproduce in mass. If you know me, “CAS” is not my strong point.
Simple as I can get. Simply a tree line die cut. Sponge and stipple brush used to add to the background and trees. The sparkle on the snow is just a bit of glitter glue (Stickles).
Good evening! Twelve (12!) days until Christmas. In years past, I’d still be shopping. This year I had finished months ago. Christmas past is a blur to me. I remember exactly 2 Christmases where 1) we were showered with gifts or 2) we were extremely low on cash, so we were each given a gift from our parents belongings. I was 9 years old when I received my mother’s engagement ring. I though I had hit gold.
This week’s card is my annual pink Christmas card. Every year I search for the best non-traditional colors for my cards. I love red and green, but it’s fun to see where you can take it. All products used highlighted below. Thank you, Stamp Simply for providing the best images. So many sets are interchangeable.
Super easy card. The poinsettia was cut 3 times and different layers of the flower gives the illusion of it lifting off the card.
I used a tiny bit of Stickles on the flower petals, and lots of pink rhinestones.
