Poppy Flowers Card

I saw this card online and thought it was such a cool idea I wanted to try it. The paper and card style are exactly what was done with that card but I used all different flowers and butterflies as I did not have the set that was used. Wish I did! This paper is just so pretty. It’s from Stampin’ Up! The poppy flower dies are as well.

Lighthouse Cards

I recently got this Lighthouse set from Stampin' Up! I have wanted it for a long time but I have so many lighthouse stamps and dies... Sigh couldn't resist when I was able to get it almost for free! I CASEd some cards I saw online, I love the flying seagulls and the standing ones in this set! The clouds are an edge stencil that really worked nicely for this card.

Pretty Flower Card

I do love making flower cards! This paper is so gorgeous, everything I make with it comes out so pretty. The layered flower dies are from Altenew. Just a pretty birthday card for a friend.

Card for a Nurse

During this COVID-19 time my cousin was asked to work in the ICU COVID ward. She has been a nurse for close to 40 years and recently has been working with heart catheterization. She actually worked for FEMA for quite a few years developing plans for things like a Pandemic. So I made this card for her, she is a hero.

Happy Easter

This is another original! Inspired by all the cards made with this beautiful gold foil card stock. Inside it says Happy Easter. The die is from Just Right Designs the cross is from spellbinders. The embossing folder is from Stampin’ Up! It is super shiny and I love that. Hard to tell but there are 5 layers.

Braid or Weave Card Edge Covid-19 Time

This style card was posted a couple of weeks ago and I just had to try it! I love it. Posted this one on Splitcoast Stampers right away. Now the stamps are the March Paper Pumpkin Card kit and this is what I did with them. The paper is all Stampin' Up! Wisteria Wonder. One of my favorite colors of theirs but I think they discontinued it. Currently they have Highland Heather which is really pretty. I sent this to my card making friends during this isolation time because it is so appropriate. By staying home we are in this together keeping down the spread of Covid-19. Some day I will look back on this blog post and remember this time in history.

Color Burst Card

I used the Color Burst powder on this stamped image and I always use too much! It seriously only needs the tiniest sprinkle but it gets stuck in the spout and spurts out a glob. Trying to love this stuff but well it’s a work in progress. I cut the thank you dies out three times and stacked them, this is turning out to be a great technique. Makes it stand out better, especially with this strong background. The stamp is the Gina K/Hero Arts floral set.

Double Dutch Fold Card

I finally colored this stamp right! It is from Local King Rubber Stamps and I used their markers which hello, worked. So their markers seem to hold up more intensely when you spritz with water before stamping on water color paper. I use other brands and they always end up almost disappearing when I do this technique. I saw this demonstrators video on how to make this card and decided this would be a good way to display this pretty image. I love it!

Thanks Card and Kit Card

First card I used this beautiful paper from Stampin' Up! called Ornate Garden. It is so pretty in person because it catches the light with the gold and is so soft colored. I wanted to just put a simple thanks on it and leave it at that. I might have used too light of a color for the card stock I cut the thanks die out of though.

The second card is from the March Paper Pumpkin kit. It is what you are supposed to do with the kit, that's the point. I tell you - to make a bunch of quick, nice cards this kit club is it! No thinking, no worrying, no coloring for the most part.

Original Card!

I have a hard time coming up with a card on my own. This one is all mine baby! I cut this new die from Stamping' Up! with black card stock and I had this Gina K/Hero Arts flower stamped already on a piece of paper (to color later) and set it on the black die cut and boom! I didn't even want to color it, this made a beautiful statement as is. I always color a stamped image so this was brave for me. YAY! I put this on Pinterest and people are pinning it! I am thrilled. I don't put most of my cards on there because they are cases of other peoples cards and I don't feel that is right. If I change it enough or do a different image or something then I might.

A couple TSOL Cards

This card is from The Stamps Of Life card class last month. I ordered the set and then did the card with Stephanie Barnard on the Youtube video. That was fun! She is so entertaining. So this card is not original by any stretch of the imagination. I did make the card a fold-it. The basket definitely could be an Easter Card. I don't have any Easter sentiments that aren't religious! I need to look around and order something for these type of cards.

The second card is a CASE and I just wanted to do a spinner card. I think I am not keeping this set, I just have no use for piñatas and tacos! It is a club set so I never know what I am getting each month. Most of the time I love them! Its cute and I love the colors. Definitely needs a sentiment.

Easter Card Perhaps

I am particularly proud of this one because I used such a bright and cheery print to go along with this adorable dog. It is an old stamp I have from Helz Cuppleditch. There used to be website that sold all of these wonderful artist's stamps. Still some of my favorites! So glad when I did the big purge I didn't get rid of these. I am still wishing I didn't get rid of some stamps, ugh. This is why people end up keeping everything and hoarding huh? Anyway I haven't decided on a sentiment yet. I love this though!

Easter Card and Spring Card

I am thinking this will be an Easter Card. This is that set the fox is in. Fairie Garden by Crafters Companion.

This card is a case of a card made by Stamping' UP! I used what I had on hand and I really like the results!
