Mother's Day Card

I have been blessed with some wonderful mothers in my life; 2 daughters in law, a daughter, the mother of one of my sweet grandsons, my amazing mother-in-law and my dear mother. So I have been busy making cards for each one of them.

This qualifies as an easy card for me. The stamps are new from GKD -love them. I stamped the texture stamp with some Vivid Taupe and then embossed the flower on it with white. The tags were cut with Spellbinder dies and a couple of white brads on them Added the ribbon for softness. That's it.

Thanks for stopping by and for leaving a comment! Come back tomorrow for another Mother's Day card.

Another attempt at being chosen for the Center Stage August Guest Designer. This is the third card that I have made for that and it came pretty easy. For one thing I absolutely love this stamp set. It has been inked up a lot. It is also one of my favorite episodes of StampTV called "Reverse Nestabilities".  

For this card I used some of the digital paper that I had downloaded from GinaK. I stamped the tulips several times so that I could pop up a couple of them for even more dimension. I also put a tulip on the inside. I used my Copics to color.

Have a great week filled with blessings!

Butterfly Garden

Now this was a fun card! I say that a lot don't I? Well, it was. One of my favorite stamp sets is "A year of flowers" by Melanie and sold by GinaKDesigns. Then yesterday a package came in the mail with some new Basic Gray paper packs and in there was this paper in the Porcelain Paper Pad. Is that not the most wonderful print? I fell in love with it and it cried out to me to be paired with the rose! So I made this for a couple of challenges. The butterfly was added for the Stamp TV challenge this week and the sketch layout was for Sketch Girl18. Perfect for what I wanted. I also used Nina's Lovely Labels. I used both A year of flowers and pressed flowers which made the card really easy. Like two set stamping that I used to do. I highlighted the rose with a couple of Copic markers. I snagged the butterfly from Spring Mix. There are three buttons and I put a pink dewdrop in the center of those buttons for a different look. It worked. I appreciate you coming by. Have a great rest of the week.  

Glitter Rose

Today I made a glittery rose. Glitter is not something I use very often, so it was a challenge for me. I made this card for the Blast from the Past challenge on StampTV. I used the sketch challenge from CPS #162. The stamps I used are Melanie's Pressed Flowers and A Year of Flowers. Those sets are so versatile that when I am blank on ideas I turn to those. I used Pure Luxury card stock and a little of the striped vellum that I have no idea where I got it from. It is a simple card, and I chose not to put a saying on it so that I can use it for anything. Thanks for the visit - I truly do appreciate it.

Quilt Card

I can't believe it! I was sick and could not be at the GinaK release party last night. I sure did miss being there. I am not used to feeling yucky and am glad to be at least back on the road to recovery. This morning I checked out all the new "stuff" and put in an order. Sure do wish that I could afford them all. They are so nice. I had to pick and choose the ones that I think I will use the most right now and put the rest in my wish list. Well, before I had  to take a few day respite I did make a quick card for the Thursday sketch challenge that I have not yet posted here. It is the first square card I made, now I will need an envelope - hmm - square envelope? For this card I used the paper from Basic Grey called Sugar Rush. Then A year of Flowers by Melanie. A few dew drops for embellishment and that is it. Hopefully I will be more creative this week - I think I was fighting the flu bug most of the week.

Lily Book

A second upload today. I was cruising through some of my favorite blogs and on Melanie's blog she asked for a new card to be made using her stamp set "A Year of Flowers". So I decided to make one. Then I checked out a few of the other cards that are entered and wanted to take mine back! :-) WOW - there are some fantastic cards! Some of the entrants just blew me away! Anyway - here is my little Lily Book Card. Oh - I forgot to mention that the stamp used for the words was from SU called Bloomin Beautiful. The CS was Wild Wasabi, Pixie Pink, Craft and Vanilla. I colored with Copics and the ribbon was from Michaels. There - I think I got it all. Thanks for the comments - I love reading them all!

Spring Flower

This was a challenge for GinaK. It was to use the crayon resist technique. It has been a while since I did that and it was fun.
