Hello My Friend

Brushstrokes stamp set from Amuse

Hello stamp set from Stampin Up

I did not have much time and wanted to play.

I decided I would make a one layer card

cased off a card made by one made by one

of my BFFs, Shirley, that she had made in the past.

It is a simple card that can be sent, or even

made into a gift pack of cards for someone.

I thought about adding some bling,

And may still do that.

Nailheads from my stash

I was wanting to make another masculine card and

loved this DP and stamp set. What a perfect combination!

I think stamping the plane on the Vellum

worked out really well as there is not a die cut

for this stamp set. I usually struggle with how to

put banners on my cards but really like the way they

look on this card.

This is the last card in my happy stamping spree from

last weekend, but I hope to be able to do some more

stamping this weekend.

Have a happy day!

Love how this card turned out!

I saw these Simply Defined products (includes

the Be Inspired items) on a YouTube video

by Stacy at Scrapbooking Made Simple.

It was love at first sight. I am always struggling

with making masculine cards, and this 

whole line is designed for that. I can't wait 

to make more!

This is such a fun paper and stamp set. I love
coffee, tea, and time spent w/special friends. Especially
if it involves stamping!
I wanted to enter the Saturday Sketch challenge. Sketches
are always a challenge for me. I changed the orientation
of the sketch but hope it still meets the challenge.

I have seen multiple cards with this type of design
on YouTube, and was wanting to try something
similar. I love the Couture Stamp set from
The Ton. It is a set of small flowers
and leaves, some of them 2 step stamps.
I am also enjoying using the prefolded cards
from Paper Wishes. They are 5 x 6 1/2 which is
the perfect size for my cards for coworkers.
I'm thinking it may be a little too busy, but pretty
anyway.

This past weekend I had the ability to

craft my heart out as you have probably 

already guessed. Boy did I have fun!

I have been wanting to try my hand at

some stenciling for a while now.

I used some Tim Holtz Distress inks and 

sponged away. I really like how  bright 

and cheerful it came out. I am still working 

on proper placement of my Sunflower dies

and stamps, but I'm getting there.

I also colored my white ribbon to match.

The center of the flowers are colored

with Wink of Stella for some sparkle as the  

picture below shows.

Oh how I love crafting!

This is another example of a card using the Rose

Wonder stamp set, but this time I also used

the outline dies. It really adds something to

the card. The Pico Embellishment adds sparkle and shine. I made this one a Sympathy card.

I love yellow roses and really like how it came out. 

Happy Birthday Rose

LOVE, LOVE this stamp set from Stampin Up!

Is very versatile, used some for work for

birthdays, and starting some Sympathy.

It has matching dies which will show on my sympathy card.

So much fun!

Copic markers, and Wink of Stella pen.

I loved this stamp set from Stampin Up

as soon as I saw it. Thought it would make

a great masculine card.

I used a cloud stencil from Clear Scraps

for the background. I used the Wink of

Stella on the propellers.

Had fun making it!

I cased this card from a video by France Martin,

with a few twists of my own. She called it mini

frame stamping.

I love this stamp set from Amuse and thought

it was perfect for this card.

I'm ready for Spring, and this card can be used

for so many purposes.

I think the glitter and sequins add the perfect

touch!
