Masculine Card

TGIF!  It's always nice to have some masculine cards on hand, right?  So, I was happy to create a masculine birthday card I know I'll need soon.

Here's my card:



I loved the Wood Textures DSP stack as soon as I saw it.  But, I've yet to use it! Crazy, I know!!!  I decided to keep it simple, so I cut each piece of DSP and adhered to a piece of Basic Black cardstock.  I then stamped the shapes from the Label Me Pretty set and the sentiment from the Thoughtful Banners set.  I punched it out using the Pretty Label punch.  I just love the Basic Black Shimmer Ribbon and the Copper Trim.  I decided they wouldn't be too girly and would look good with these colors.  So, I tied them together and adhered the punched, stamped piece.  Done!  This was a fast and easy card - love that!

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Early Mother's Day to all of the mothers, aunts, grandmothers, etc. out there!

Ma, if you are seeing this early, act excited when you get this card in the mail ;)  💙 U!

Here is the card I made:



I used my Peekaboo Peach, Flirty Flamingo, and Sweet Sugarplum markers and colored in the flower stamp from the Flourishing Phrases stamp set.  I then cut out each flower (this makes me crazy!!!  I love to color, but do not like cutting out images - thank goodness for dies!)  I digress...sorry about that! 

I stamped the Whisper White cardstock piece with the leaf stamp using Emerald Envy.  I stamped the sentiment (from Thoughtful Banners set) using Dapper Denim ink.  I adhered the flowers using dimensionals and added some Wink of Stella in the middle of each flower to give it a little sparkle.  To finish off the card and to add even more sparkle, I added some Powder Pink shimmer ribbon.

Thanks for looking and again, Happy Mother's Day to all of you!

Birthday Cards

Can you ever have enough birthday cards on hand?  I don't think so ;)  So, I was happy that this week's Sisters In Stamping theme is "Birthday Cards".  I have several birthdays coming up, so this was a great theme for me :)

Here is the card I made for one of my bird loving friends:



I used the Feathery Friends hostess stamp set.  I love this set because I love birds and I love to color!  I colored in the stamped images using my SU! markers.  The sentiment is from the Beautiful Bouquet stamp set.  I used the Banner Triple punch and adhered the piece with a little wave using some dimensionals.  I used my circle thinlets for the one bird.  I finished off the card using some Jewel Basic Rhinestones.
