Avery Elle Flowers

Hi Everyone,

I have been in the mood to make cards in fall colors, probably because by the time I fill a box for OWH, it will be close to the end of summer. So here is a card I made with the Avery Elle stamp, Petals and Stems. Love this set because they come with matching dies.

Two New Cards

Hi Everyone,

Here are two cards I made today and took pictures of. The orange card uses Verve Stamps Be Blessed. I love the way these stamp and are easy to color. I colored the orange card with Copics. The other card I used pattern paper, and glued it onto the white die cut. This card is made using Flower Friends from Simon Says Stamp. I used patterned paper for the flower and glued it to a white die cut. Love the way that turned out. The background was created with the Quilted Stitched Pattern Die from Lil Inker Designs. Love this background!

Operation Write Home Memorial Day Blog Hop 2014

Hi Everyone,

Today is the day--the OWH Blog Hop. Here is my card. The floral design is from Gina K Designs. It's called One in a Million, since one of the sentiments is "Friends like you are one in a Million." There are some additional sentiments with this set that I use often when making cards for OWH. The "Hugs" sentiment is from Denami Design.

Papertrey Ink March Blog Hop

Hi Everyone,


As soon as I saw the Embellished Elegance stamp set, I knew it would work out perfectly for making Christmas cards. Since I make cards for OWH, it's great to make a card that can be reproduced easily. I used the flower from the Bells and Boughs stamp set and the sentiment is from the Think Big Favorites #20 Mini stamp set.

Embellished Elegance

Hi Everyone,

I decided to CASE a few of the cards that the PTI team made last week with the Embellished Elegance stamp set, so I chose Melissa Phillips' card.

Folk Filigree Card

Hi Everyone,

I saw a card on the Gina K Web site using the new Folk Filigree stamp set by Becky Oehlers and knew right away I wanted to make it. So here is my rendition of this card:

I figured out a few tricks to make this card. One is to line up the two halves of the wreath perfectly on a large acrylic block prior to stamping. That way, you are not guessing where the wreath parts should be stamped. The other trick is to stamp off everything first. This is what Becky explained on her Web site. It makes the card soft and feminine. I also made masks of the little flowers to stamp the leaves and berries around the flowers.

Enjoy!

Just Because

Hi Everyone,

This is a very simple card that I made. I love its simplicity. The leaves are from the Turning a New Leaf stamp set from Papertrey Ink. You could use any flower in the middle. I purposely stamped off the flower first to give it a softer look.

Enjoy!
