Flowering Desert

Check out my pinterest board for more fun ideas.  The inspiration card is there on my board for the Flowering Desert stamp set.  I fell in love with this stamp set when I started to see the gorgeous samples online.  This particular card has fabulous colors (Grapefruit, Crumb Cake, Calypso Coral, Vanilla and Espresso Brown).  The sponging really adds to the wow factor.  Add a touch of a rougher style ribbon and it is the recipe for success!

Daisy Delight Card #2

As I sat in Big O tires I realized that I left the house before posting this morning.  Yikes!  So sorry that this is late.  I think that I need to figure out how to schedule posts so I won't have to worry about remembering.  LOL!

This was a super fast card.  I picked a framelit and then cut out the Soft Sky CS just a bit bigger so that I could use both parts on the card front.  Does the pearl and ribbon formation look like a face to you?  Maybe I am just too tired.  LOL!  Anyway, I also doubled up on daisies because I like the layered look best.

Happy stamping!

Peeps Easter Card

Yes, this is a shameless case of casing...lol!  I saw this card on Tami White's page and fell in love with it.  I did tweak it just a wee bit to make it mine.  I have 13 swaps to make for the downline meeting on Saturday and thought that the "wow factor" was high enough to warrant using this card for swapping.

I am thrilled that the weather is warm and the trees are starting to green up so that I can take my card pics outside on the deck again.  I love the sunshine!  We have been riding our bikes every day for PE.

Mother's Day Card

Hello and happy stamping!  This card is for the upline meeting at the end of the month and will be my make and take project.  I am also using it for my monthly mailed swap (to kill two birds with one stone).  I did switch out the brads in the smaller flowers for the mini brads and loved the effect.  Also, the prongs on the mini brads are easier to bend so it was easier on my fingers to make all of those swaps!

I cased this card layout from Dawn O but changed quite a few aspects to make it uniquely mine.  Enjoy!
