Simple Love


Simple "Love" card but is it too simple? I thought of jazzing it up with ribbon but thought with grouping the hearts in the manner I did, it created enough of an impact. This is certainly another ten minute or less make card.

Supplies Used
Cuttlebug "Swiss Dot" folder
Lasting Impressions L9457 template
Colorbox chalk "Red Warm" ink
Denami Design stamp
Paper: LI "Poppy Red", linen "white", and My Minds Eye


Have a creative day. Thanks for popping in.

A Rosy Birthday




I made this card for my mother in law's upcoming birthday. She is a huge flower lover so this card is perfect for her and I got to use one of my favorite flower stamps to make it. I bought this stamp at a garage sale long ago. It is a mounted to wood stamp but has no manufacturer on it. When ever I need to make a quick flower card I reach for this stamp.
I used Copic markers to color it and added a little glitz by going over some of the lines using the Spica markers. The papers used came from Kathy's stash ( I scored big while visiting)!! I am definitely putting some of the scraps to use since arriving home. Of course, I had to add a touch of sewing and a button to complete it.
Enjoy your evening and thanks for dropping in.

Bright & Cheery Valentine


Good Morning, while putting away some of the scraps I brought back from my visit with Kathy, I came across this boldly bright paper from We R Memories and had to put it to use. It goes so well with the red polka dot paper from Scenic Route.
Embossing and cutting hearts and circles out from matching cardstock made this card go together very quickly. To finish it off I added a few bright yellow buttons and had a card done in less then ten minutes.

Supplies Used
Dollar Store Greeting
Lasting Impressions L9182
Colorbox Chalk Ink "Warm Red"
Papers: White Linen, We R Memories, Scenic Route
Accessories: buttons, Nestibilites (circle & Rectangle)
Glue pop dots.

Today I plan on doing some laundry and curling up and reading my new Grisham book .Enjoy your Sunday and thanks for stopping by.

The DP used for the heart tree is from a bargain bag Kathy picked up for me at her local scrapbook store all other paper is LI.

Templates used to create this card

I think it has finally stopped snowing here for a bit after snowing all day and leaving my area with a good 18" since last night.

Enjoy your evening and thanks for popping in.

Love You!


Good Morning, unable to sleep last night and not wanting to watch another infomercial I decided to mosey into my craft room and put some of my energies to use. This is the first of several cards I created as a result. I have had the arrow template from Lasting Impressions for some time and decided to incorporate it into this design. All cardstock and templates are Lasting Impressions. I distressed and inked the edges using Colorbox "dune and brown" inks.
Templates used to create this card:
L9451
L9452
L9455
