Mother's Day

Today I'm taking a brake from all this ORGANIZING and having some FUN****
I used my new Flourishes stamp set called Happy Thoughts for my flowers. The bee came from another Flourishes set called Chrysanthemum and the saying is from MFT-Happy Mother's Day.
The bottom border was made using a Martha Stewart Corner punch, I just love the deep affect it give when you used it across a straight edge like this.

I even stamped the envelop.....

And here's the inside looks a little busy, which I had stamped the flowers lighter, but for some reason it just would not happen.... The saying is from MFT-Flower Silhouette set.  In case you can't read it it says;

I Just Wanted

You to Know That

You Are Fabulous

 

I know Mom is going to LOVE it and will put this one on display with all the other card I make for her, she has quite the collection.

I frog-got

Hi There,
The last couple of days I've been working on a few belated BD cards.... I used the same stamp, just colored them differently and used some of the same paper and some different paper for the two cards....
First here's a quick look at them both.....

 Now here's the first one I made.......is he not just sexy looking.... in is green with yellow spots and teal belly.... just love thoes eyes.....

 and this is the inside.......

Now this little cutie was just the color of a little girl frog to me....don't ask me why......So I used pinks and reds, and a bow too for a more girly look.... this pic looks a little washed out but it's really much brighter.

and the inside.......

That's it for me today...
See you next time !!!!

Summer Afternoon Birthday card

I bough this Taylored Expressions- Summer Afternoon stamp set second hand from Barbara A back in February and had not tried it out yet... I loved the set when it came out at TE but could not justify buying at the time, but when Barbara had it on sale will who could resist, Not ME!!!

The hardest part making this card for me was picking the background paper.... finally I did, then tried dry embosing and lightly sponged over it to bring it out more.

I decided to cut the side off just because it looked to centered in the center..... does that make any sence?? I think not....but I like the look. Then the bow just finished it off.

On the inside I used the border stamp from the same set and the CTMH- Have a Wonderful Day. 

I'm pleased with how it truned out, at first I was strugleing but then it came together.

Class of 2013

Just finished a card for my Mom to use for her Great Grand-daughter...

I didn't stamp a thing here it was all stickers... yep, stickers... except for the 2013 I used my Sizzlits... and then added a Bow too since it's for a Girl! 

Here's the inside another sticker here for the saying... and I used MFT Die for the pocket for $$$. 

The colors are Red and Gold for her School colors and the paper I used was some CM paper I've had for just this occasion.

Two reasons I used stickers, 1-I didn' have stamps to this occasion and 2-I've been sick and need to get this out quick...

Happy St. Patty's Day

The Top of the Morin to ya!!  Will afternoon anyway! 

 Here's the card I'm going to give my Mom later today... She is turning 90 next month Wow, I can't believe it.

And she wanted to cook us Cornbeef and Cabbage with potatoes.. We live just a few doors down from her so when she needs help she can give me a call... But when I went over this morning (as I do everyday) she already had the BIG pot out and was laying everything out so it would go 1, 2, 3... She is really something.  I hope I'm just half the woman she is when I get to 90....

 Back to the card here's the front,,,,

 here you can see the layers......

and then the inside too...

Will that's it for me today.

Hope you enjoy your Green Beer and Rainbows!!

Happy Anniversary!

Hi All,,,

Yep it's me again... I'm late posted the Aanniversary card I gave my hubby.  Our Anniversary is just 2 weeks after my Birthday and 1 day before Valentines day... so we kind of put it all together.

I used a few new things and a few old things for my card this year....

The new was Cornish Heritage Farms background stamp called "Trees Backgrounder" I stamped it onto the Aqua paper with Coco ink, love the look.  Then I used an old Cuttlebug frame called Grace's Frame I love this frame and have used it several times now.  Another new thing I used was a Memory Box die called Serafina Heart... then put some sparkle on it here and there... added a bow an that's it...

this side view let's you see the inside a little I just stamped the trees about one inch down the side then added my words and things...

I have never heard or used the Cornish Heritage Farms stamps before but love the quality.  This one I got from a fellow blogger that was doing Spring Cleaning and was selling bunches of her things and I just got Lucky and was able to get this one and a few others... Thanks Barbara!!

Will that's it for me today, see you later!

Mr. & Mrs.

Yesterday Mom asked me if I had the Wedding cards started / finished yet..... Don't need them till October but she wants to be ready....

So when I got home I got cracking...

Here's my first attempt, not bad if I say so myself. Another first for me is making a finished 5 x 7 card too. I tried a few times in the past but there just was to much room for me. But with this card it seam to come together.

For the card base I used Canson Watercolor paper it comes in several size pads this one measures 11 x 15. So I cut it 5 x 14 and scored at 7, perfect. 

Tip: When I went to cut the 15 inch side I just lined up my 5 inch mark on my Guillotine cutter and cut about 3/4 of the way down then turned it around and pushed the cut side up against the cutting edge and lined up the top at 5 and got a perfect cut !! Then cut and inch off the bottom and had my 5 x 14, YEA!!

The Mr. & Mrs. is from Flourishes popped up on a Spellbinders Fancy Tag-3.  Now the set of Wedding rings was from a really old CM set called Wedding Glimpses Done with one and I popped that up too.

I layered the back ground with black first then some Beautiful Pearls paper called Core'dinations this one is Tan Pearl and got it from JoAnns.  This paper comes in beautiful pale colors of pink, blue, and a pure white, can't remember the others but they are all beautiful and know I'll be getting more.

Here's a close up, I was hoping the pearl paper would show but I don't think it is, believe me it's beautiful!

OK, now for the inside, the border was from the same CM Wedding Glimpses Done with one pack and I layered it with some paper I used on the front to tie it in.  The Beautiful Stamps are by Flourishes and the corner is a die by Marianne.  These Marinne dies are so fine and beautiful, I love them all. 

Will that's it for me today. Please let me know what you think, I'm always learning and welcome any suggestions!!
