I have two cards for you today. This is a quick card design but I like the way they turn out and the fact that they don't take forever to make helps too.

For this next card, I used a manila folder to stamp on. Love reusing things just to see how they turn out. When they turn out well, it's just a bonus!

Hey there!

I'm back with more new cards. You'll be able to tell with these two cards that I got the DCWV Latte Matstack and I just LOVE the colors. Here are two cards I've done with it so far and there are more to come!!

The next card I want to show you has an element that I had not worked with before. I was very pleased to see how well the Aluminum Step Flashing embossed in my Cuttlebug!
I picked up the product at Home Depot. The package has 10 sheets in the 5x7 size. The best part about this product was the cost - $2.54!!  OK, enough talk, here's the card!

It wasn't easy rounding the corners. I tried my corner rounder which only perforated it then I went back and trimmed the outline with my scissors.

I hope you like this card - especially when you find out I made it from a tissue box! These come in such pretty designs now without the brand name splashed all over so I used the idea I found on YouTube and here is my version. 

The box, some ribbon and a greeting! Easy!

A little help from my friends card

I haven't made a card for awhile so this one took me forever! I do like it though and will send it out today!

New Cards!

Last time I posted, I said how far behind I am getting the cards up that I've been making. So here we go, time to catch up!

I made two versions of this card using the same stamp. I changed the colors when I colored the stamp and changed the background paper for a different look. 

I embossed the sentiment on this card and used coordinating papers. The sassy little button completes the look!

I added these coordinating papers in aqua and then embossed the entire card front. The ribbon completes this card. Love the soft subtle colors on this one.

 I used a shimmery paper to punch these butterflies and used the negative space too! This one is quick and can be made when you are in a hurry.

These little butterflies were cut from paint chips! My friends and I made this background by stamping the image several times then we used a dauber and various colors of chalk. Fun stuff!

 I embossed my white card stock then used my cloud punch (shown in another post) to make these little white clouds. My inspiration was from a card I found on Pinterest.

I love the cute little sequins too.

I made these next two the same using Nanas' Nursery Baby Boy card stack by DCWV. I love the soft colors and these both turned out great!

The inspiration for this next card was found on You Tube! Love these results too. You can get great ideas on lots of different sites like Pinterest and You Tube.

This is a fun card using a couple punches, ribbon and your embossing machine. 

I purchased some K&Company paper flowers that were already on pop dots and had the sequin! I added some ribbon and a Celebrate stamp along with a piece of embossed blue card stock.

 Instant Birthday Card!

I used a Stampin up! Punch for the big flower on this card. I embossed the piece that went under the negative space and added two silk flowers secured with a brad. The bottom piece was embossed then sanded to expose the white core. 

Another butterfly punched from a paint chip. I added the squares, ribbon, brad and stamp for a super quick but cute card.

Wow! This one was labor intensive. I made this one because my friend Sharon figured it out for us! We found it on Pinterest and knew we HAD to make one too! Thanks Sharon!!

Time to catch up!

Wow, am I ever behind on the card posts! My friends and I have been making cards and I have just not gotten around to photographing them all as of yet. I hope to do just that this coming Wednesday. For now though, I'll post this one because I'll be sending it off soon and I want you to see it first!

Thanks for coming by!

It's Thursday again and I had another day off work! I created this card and I hope you enjoy it. This is a fun and easy layout that would adapt nicely to any paper.  I hope it inspires you to make a card too!
