Wetlands cards

I did a stamp-a-stack not to long ago and this is one of the cards we made. We used the Wetlands stamp-set.  It's such a versatile set and everyone loved it.  Here are 3 different versions.

Step it up and add texture to the background.

Change the color of the goose and make it look like a duck.

All Dressed Up for Weddings and Anniversaries

Wow! I can definitely tell it's spring and Love is in the air with Weddings and Anniversaries happening everywhere!  How better to congratulate or send best wishes than a handmade card.

Here is another example of me saying what would I use that set for and it turning out that I love it!  Shows how much I know my own self I guess.  I loved the all dressed up framelits so much that I ran a bunch of them through and I am keeping them aside for a quick and easy to reach embellishment (I even ran some dresses through for my daughter and her projects).

The pictures really don't do these cards any justice.

This first one I made was for a country themed wedding with a boot wearing bride.

This one was made for a summer wedding using the color Pool Party.

For this card I did it like a stencil where I took the reverse of the die cut and sponged the middle.

Silver Glimmer Memorable Moments 4th Birthday Card

Happy Birthday to my niece!  She turned the big 4 this year and she is starting to do the girl thing with all the glitter and bows.  I wanted to make her a card that would sprinkle as she would call it. I figured with all of the free Sliver glimmer paper that we were getting with our orders that I wouldn't hoard all of the sparkly paper for myself.  Four is a big number for her so I made her a full card out of the sliver glimmer paper.  

I don't know if you can see it but I ran it the glimmer paper through the honeycomb embossing folder for that extra girly pop.

Birthday Cards

This month our family has a couple of birthdays to celebrate and because the time for the party snuck up on me way to quickly I thought what more of a better time then now to think up of some quick card ideas.  I love the idea of using white and one other color. To me it seems like it showcases the card meaning more. This isn't the greatest picture because like I said the party was only an hour from starting  so I had to quickly take a pic before I gave it to my sister.

This next card I had some punches left over in my punch jar so I thought I would use those since that would save me some time on making a card.  I chose one color and then the others pieces just as accents since they were already prepunched.  This card was for my mom who will be turning 57 on the 19th. I don't feel like she is getting older, I feel like I'm catching up to her.
