Caring Flowers

Our Aunt had open heart surgery to replace/repair to faulty valves in her heart. Since I cannot be there in person to give her flowers... what better way to cheer her up than sending cheerful flowers that will never wilt!

I used the Falling Flowers stamp set with the coordinating May Flowers Framelits. I didn't have a "current" Get Well wish sentiment, so I used a retired stamp from the Kind and Caring Thoughts stamp set.

Thanks for stopping by!

Supplies Used:

Stamp Sets - Falling Flowers, Kind and Caring Thoughts

Ink - Soft Suede

Paper - Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, Soft Suede, Peekaboo Peach, Very Vanilla

More Leaves

I'm loving the cooler weather along with the color of Fall leaves. For my Thanksgiving cards this year, I wanted it to keep it simple, so I paired the stamp sets "And Many More" with "Vintage Leaves". Perfect!

Happy Thanksgiving!

VeteransDay2016

Happy Veterans' Day to all Veterans! Thank you so very much for your service and our freedom! I have 5 people in my family who are veterans.... my Dad, my Father-in-law, my brother, and 2 brothers-in-law. Thanks!

Now, I cannot take credit for this lovely card. I saw a 4th of July card on Pinterest....and just knew I wanted to create one for the 5 gentleman Veterans.

Here is Kim Jolley's card, whom I copied. Thanks so much for your inspiration!

Supplies Used:

Stamp Set - Thoughtful Banners

Ink - Night of Navy

Paper - Night of Navy, Real Red, Whisper White

Accessories - Swirly Scribbles Thinlits, Big Shot, Big Shot Die Brush, scissors, Star Punch (small)

Thoughtful Friend

My niece loves her little black kitty, so I thought I'd make a kitty card for her.... and her favorite color is blue, so I used Bermuda Bay with the matching polka dotted ribbon (retired).

I couldn't make a black kitty due to the fact the eyes and whiskers wouldn't show up on black ink, so I used Basic Gray instead. So it's a little gray kitty. LOL!

I used the heart within in the Foxy Friends stamp set on this card. I just inked up the middle size heart instead of the heart bubble that is within the set.

Thanks for taking a quick look!

Supplies Used
Stamp Sets - Foxy Friends, Thoughtful Banners
Ink - Basic Gray, Memento, Bermuda Bay
Paper - Bermuda Bay, Basic Gray, Whisper White
Accessories - Grosgrain Polka Dotted Ribbon (Bermuda Bay)

Swirly Year

I saw a cute card on Pinterest with the word "SMILE" in cut out letters on a card and thought what a cute idea.... I could do that for a Happy Birthday card. I think it turned out great! I added a few flowers around too to make it more feminine.

Now, I do have to say... the colors in the photo are off... it looks blue. The color is actually green -- the new In-Color - Emerald Envy. I'm sure any color would work well with this though. =)

Thanks for taking a peek!

Ink - Emerald Envy

Paper - Whisper White (thick), Emerald Envy, Basic Black, Emerald Envy DSP

Wishful Party

I saw a card very similar on Pinterest (but with different colors)... I wanted to keep mine masculine for my nephews birthday.  Not sure if you can see it or not, but I used the Party Punch Pack (balloon) to punch out the balloon and added a glue dot behind to make it pop up a bit!

Fall Pairings

I saw these colors together on Pinterest and just had to use them on this Fall birthday card. I LOVE Fall colors! Such a lovely time with all the changing leaves and cooler weather too.

I wanted to create a masculine card, as this is for my Uncle. I thought to dress up the rectangular piece with the Curvy Corner Trio Punch.
