Sunshine Sunflower

My neighbor wanted cards made for her family with sunflowers on the front... along with the "You Are My Sunshine" lyrics on the inside of the card.
I designed this card using 'My Memories Suite' digital software, and printed it on Whisper White cardstock. Then matting them in Crushed Curry and adhering that to an Early Espresso card base.

Thanks for taking a closer look.

In Color Moments

One of my nieces is turning 16! She is growing up... well, all my nieces and nephews are! Which makes me that much older too! EEEkkk! LOL! She's such a young lady already, and I wanted to give her a card more grown up then cute kid card.

I wanted to utilize one of the new In-Colors, so I chose Seaside Spray. I paired it with Calypso Coral and Soft Sea Foam.

I colored in the images with Stampin' Blends - Soft Sea Foam, Calypso Coral, Ivory, Crumb Cake, and Balmy Blue.

Amazing Nature

I found Nadine Weiner's card on Pinterest, and I just loved the layout with the leaves. I, of course, used a different sentiment for my card, but kept the general layout the same. Thanks Nadine for your inspiration!

As you can see, I inked up my stamps more than she did... making my leaves stand out more too.

Kitty Moments

My oldest niece is turning 30 years old!!!! Wow! Such a beautiful young lady. She loves her kitty, so I thought this stamp would be perfect for her.

Morning Healing

I'm loving the new 'Good Morning Magnolia' stamp set with it's coordinating 'Magnolia Memory' dies. Although, it's definitely a more feminine stamp set... it's versatility is great for creating different cards.

With the huge magnolia flower, after die-cutting it, I cut the leaf and stem part with scissors. I used Stampin' Blends markers to color in each flower (Rococo Rose, Granny Apple Green and Daffodil Delight).

Wonderful Lattice

The Stamp Set 'Lovely Lattice' has such a lovely spray of flowers -- yet, doesn't provide a lot of versatility (as it has the scalloped weaved background behind. In trying to showcase this stamp in a new and unique way, I decided to cut the spray of flowers out.

I colored the image with Stampin' Blends (Daffodil Delight, Highland Heather and Mint Macaron).

Gymnast Birthday

My neighbor needed a princess/gymnastics birthday card for her 4 year old granddaughter. As I didn't have any gymnastics stamps or princess stamps included with my digital software (My Memories Suite), I had to look online for some clip art that would be suitable.

I found the little gymnast performing the splits on a free clip art site. I added the princess stamp that was within my brush sets through Stampin' Up!. Then, I added the 4 (text) to her leotard. The stars are a punch shape within my software, and the ribbon is a free My Memories download.

The text sentiment is something I found online... just changed the font to make it my own.

Thanks for taking a closer look!

Supplies Used:
My Memories Suite digital software
Embellishments - Smile and Blush (ribbon - jadyday), Girl Gymnast (online free clip art)

Beach Picture

I've seen several cards showcasing the 'Beach Happy' palm tree stamp with a sun in the background. I loved the simplicity in it, so I tried to create something similar, but with my own flare, as well.

I cut a circle out of a piece of scrap paper and laid it over the Whisper White cardstock. Using sponge daubers, I shaded in the sun with Crushed Curry and Pumpkin Pie. Then, I removed the scrap piece.

I adhered strips of the 'Tropical Escape' DSP on the sides to create a unique design. Utilizing the 'Beach Happy' stamp set, I stamped the trunks directly onto the white background. With the palm fronds, I stamped them on a separate piece of Whisper White cardstock and cut each out using scissors.

Thanks for taking a closer look!

Stamp Sets - Beach Happy, Picture Perfect Birthday
