Butterfly Silver Card

A butterfly silver card that can be used for many occasions. This is why I didn't print any sentiment.

The butterfly comes from a Cheery Lynn designs die cut, using the cuttlebug. I then taped it back on the inside of the silver card stock.

The detail at the bottom of the silver was cut with Spellbinder nestability labels 19.

I chose a pale green ribbon to finish it.

Until next time!

Have a Good One

The second card with another cutting file from Pam Kenward (getsilvered.blogspot.com), is also altered from the original cutting file.

It was designed for a square card and I prefer the A2 format.

I used a silver paper for the cut out piece.

-420-

A clean and simple card, that could go for a masculine birthday.

Thank you Pam!

With Deepest Sympathy

Another clean and simple card... I printed the sentiment in brown to match the band of designer paper, stamped two flowers from Martha Stewart clear stamps, and cut the two vases in vellum.

I also added some sprinkles on the vases... for some reasons, they now look pinkish...

There you have it!

Three Pearls of Wisdom

Three little pearls of wisdom, as sayings that really make sense...

-375-

Now this one, although many a person might think of someone this card might benefit, it will be a little tricky to use, unless you don't sign the card...

Cactus Birthday

A cactus birthday, loaded with pretty pink flowers...

Thank you Loll for the inspiration,

(http://www.stampingwithloll.com/2013/04/have-sweet-day.html)

The grass and the cactus are made with my silhouette Cameo. They were both part of a cutting file that I "ungrouped" and resize to fit my card.

Let me know if you want to use those, I love to share!

The flowers were punched with a Michaels mini punch and the fence is cut from a Papertrey Ink die.

The 3D foam stickies helped give everything some dimension.

Until next time...

Congratulations Butterflies

Butterflies!

I haven't used those for a long time. I got my idea on the web, but unfortunately I didn't keep the website address...

I used a die cut for the butterfly and an old book I found at the swap meet.

The sentiment is stamped on.

-365-

Not much going else... a CAS card.

Until next time.

Thank You From the Graduate

A quick post: a very simple 4bar thank you card for those busy moms...

I stamped the graduation cap on black card stock with silver ink and outlined the cord in metallic golden sharpie.

Until next time....

It's a Boy!

It's a Boy.

One more! It doesn't get any simpler than that!

A little blue onesie on a hanger, a very light blue ribbon to underline the printed sentiment...

I rounded the bottom corners.

There you have it!

Until next time...

Thinking of You

A CAS card inspired by one from Wanda Pettijohn on starlightstamper.com

A simple stamping on an already printed sentiment.

Thank You So Much

My oh my, those silhouette studio cutting files that Bird is creating are just amazing.

Here is the one she posted this morning, how beautiful is that???

The little slots for the ribbons are right on! Perfectly positioned and of a size that would fit the most common ribbons.

I admire the way she ties that most perfect bow in the center.

She is definitively an artist.

Here is my take on it, no surprise there, Tiffany blue ribbon and Stampin'up Pool Party ink.

-341-

Do stop by Bird's blog to see the other magnificent cards she posted.

Until next time!

Many Thanks, all CAS

Because sometimes revisiting old models of cards is rewarding, I felt like making some more Clean And Simple thank you cards.

Here come the blue on silver collection, using those beautiful Sparkle and Sprinkles thank you stamps, "Thanks a Bunch".

-337-

This round sentiment in silver ink, just pop up of the blue... I lined it with white and silver card stock.

-338-

From the same stamp collection, a majestic "thank you" all adorned with swirls.

-339-

And to go back to basic, a french thank you, really classy because very plain.

-340-

A few months back, I made some "It's A Shower" (cf post 150), using the Martha Stewart line of gifts punch.

I reused this old idea adding "a note of thanks" sentiment I printed on my computer. I just love this font, called Channel slanted.

Until next time!

Happy Mother's day

Happy Mother's Day...

They always come in three, right? So, here is my third Mother's day card of the day.

I found that beautiful used stamp at the Craft Fair last week end: as soon as I saw that potted plant I had an idea of a card in my mind.

I used once again those wonderful circular sentiments you can download here:

http://rubberstamping.about.com/od/greetingscards/ig/Birthday-Sentiments/

-295-

I first stamped the image on a silver card stock and kept the pot, then on a white card stock for the flowers bouquet.

I used my Copics on the flowers, and tie a baker's twine around the pot.

The pot is propped with dimensionals on a white card stock, then matted on a yellow one.

Until next time....

Just for you

Just for you...

To keep in the spirit of Mother's Day, another loving thought, two daisies in a white vase.

With a very simple little sentiment from Sprinkle n' Sparkle, I guess it could also be used for a Birthday card.

I found the inspiration for this card on Angela Maine's beautiful blog:

http://www.fromthetoolshed.blogspot.com/

-294-

Here is a close up of the flowers.

I used a die cut from Provocraft for the flowers and stems.

The heart of the flowers is made with a dimensional paint called Paper-Pen from Viva.

Thank you Splitcoatampers!!!

Until next time....

As we are nearing the return of our loved ones from college (they are coming home, right? Not finding a job close to their college, right????) I thought it would be fun to make a few "Welcome Home" cards.

Of course those would also have a special meaning for our military personnel... because you see, those houses are all the same but the one you call home is shining from the inside.

That is all the difference between a house and a home.

Now, as I was attaching the "home" in the middle of the row of "houses" with dimensionals, I had an idea...

How about if I made that Home still a little more special in coloring it with my copics... Then I couldn't decide if more was less....

-269-

Colored or shining from inside?

I used a stamp set from The Stamps Of Life, but rather than stamping the sentiment, I printed it out.

I rounded the corners of the card and with dimensionals, popped up the Home.

Until next time...

More New Baby Cards

MORE...

... new baby cards.

I don't know if you have had that experience before, but it happened to me all the time. I browse the web, or spend one hour or two on Pinterest or get lost in those talented ladies blogs, and I found a card that just talk to me.

I then look at the author name and sure enough, it is the designer I admired just a minute ago for another of her card.

I can count those ladies on the fingers of one, OK, may be two hands.

I really admire what they do.

Tracy is one of those.

Check out her blog:

http://whoistracy.com/myhead/

Look at her latest design:

Now tell me if you don't just love this one.

This inspire me to make yet another set of new baby cards.

-265-

I used the Papertreyink "Welcome Little One" stamp set. I can't get enough of this stamped sentiment.

The frame is also cut from a Papertreyink die.

The little ducky was punched with a EK punch, and I used lot of dimensionals to makes the duck and the frame stand out.

I rounded the two bottom corners and added a piece of ribbon.

That's it!

Until next time!

Birthday Orchid

BIRTHDAY...

... orchid.

As Clean And Simple goes, it doesn't get any better than that.

A simple orchid stamped next to a classy sentiment.

-264-

I used an orchid invite stamp from Stampendous.com, but masked the "invite" part.

I chose a khaki ink to soften the printed image, and filled up the petals part with 3D paint, my go-to Tulip Metallics in white.

When I say simple, I mean simple... simple the results, simple the making...

Until next time...

Graduation... again?

GRADUATION....

...again???? Well, when I get inspired, I just ride the wave...

Two words were blinking in my mind: Graduation and Simple... Below is the result.

Two very simple graduation cards, made in mere minutes...

-248-

I used one of those $1 stamp set in metallic ink on black card-stock.

I doodled the path of the soaring cape with a black marker.

I also stamped the same cap stamp in black ink under, on the white card-stock and use a metallic gold Pentel to highlight the tassel.

The black cap was propped with a dimensional.

Until next time...
