Banner Blast XOXO

Here's another cute card we made at a card class I attended and the banners are from the new Sale-a-Bration catalog.  They're really cute and I love the way they turned out on this card.  It's a simple and easy card, and I like the clean lines to it.

Can you see the scallop embossing in the background?  It makes the card.  It truly adds the touch it needed because it wouldn't look as good being plain.  More to come ... stay tuned!

Coloring Down the Lines - Wild Wasabi with a Punch

This is my last post for a little while, but I'll be back soon.

Our challenge this week was to come up with a card using the color combination with Wild Wasabi.  The colors are So Saffron and Perfect Plum, or Marina Mist and Early Espresso.  I chose the first color combination because I like them better.

Did you come over here from Amanda's blog?  She always does a great job with the colors.  I hope I do just as well ....

Recipe

Paper:  wild wasabi, whisper white, so saffron

Ink:  perfect plum, wild wasabi

Stamp Sets:  petite petals, perfect pennants

Accessories:  chalk talk framelit, petite petal punch, bird punch, basic pearls

I hope you like the card.  I actually saw a card similar to it on Pinterest and thought it was pretty.

Now, let's check out Joni's blog and see what she created for us this week.  

See you soon.

Just Sayin ... You're The Best!

Did you ever need a card for someone who perhaps helped you out with something, or was there in your time of need, or made you laugh and feel good about yourself?  We've all had someone who has done that for us at some point and wouldn't it be nice to have a card to give them to express how we feel at that moment?  Yep, let them know how much they mean to us and what we think of them!  Well, here's a card that would fit that need.  I need to make several of these ... I have a lot of people I can send this one to.  How about you?

You can decorate the card any way you like, but the saying ... well, it's great to have a stamp when you need it.  Hope you like it!

You & Me

Valentine's Day is right around the corner and I thought I would make some Valentine cards for some of my co-workers, and of course, my hubby, my son, my daughter and son-in-law, my dad, and the rest of my family.  Here's one I made that I thought was cute.  I love the ampersand embossing folder which I used as the background.  It's cool.  I wasn't sure about it at first, but now I'm super liking it.  What do you think?

Can you see the little bit of bling on the heart?  It's sweet!  I haven't decided who will get this card, but I hope whoever I decide to send it to likes it as much as I do.  Stay tuned for more Valentines .... I just love making them!

You Make Me Happy When Skies are Gray

Everyone needs a card from time to time, especially when skies are gray.  Even when they're not gray, who wouldn't love receiving a card?  I love making them, and I sure do love receiving them.

This is a card I made in a card class and I love it.  It's another happy card, and I just might have to make another one to keep on my desk to remind me of my craft and how happy it makes me.

I love the sweet sorbet paper from the sale-a-bration catalog from Stampin' Up.  Have you seen it?  If not, you have to.  If you spend $50 in product, you get free items from the sale-a-bration catalog.  The paper is FREE!  Hey, FREE is FUN!  I have just about everything from the sale-a-bration catalog already.  Talk about sale-a-bration ... I'm in Cele-Bration mode.  Whooo Hooo!  Love the new and free stuff.  Check out my website if you're in the mood for some freebees.  Maybe I'll see your posts using the new products.  I would love it.  Until then, happy crafting!

A Cute Hello

Sometimes you want to have a card that just says "HELLO", and we made this card at one of my card classes.  I call it "A Cute Hello" because it's cute and cheery.  You'll notice, I used the watercolor paper again on this card.  This paper just says "happy" to me - what do you think?  Maybe it's all the colors in it, or perhaps it's the watercolor effect, I'm not sure, but I really like it.  I'm going to have to use it a lot more, I can see.

Now don't you see what I mean?  It's a happy card, and wouldn't you like receiving this from someone?  I know I would.  Until tomorrow, stay happy, or if you need a little pick-me-up, come back from time to time and look at the card.  I hope it cheers you up.  

Peachy Keen: OH SNAP!

Here's a card I made at a card class.  I don't have the framelits, so I was happy we made this one.  It was fast and fun to make and I love the "just sayin" stamp set.  You can certainly use it for a lot of things.  Hope you like the card as much as I do ... it has a lot of color and it's just cute.

Cute, isn't it?  Maybe I'll just have to make sure I get the framelits.  There's a lot you can do with them.  Stay tuned ... you may see them in some upcoming posts.  Thanks for checking in.
