Good Morning Friends,
Today finds me catching up on my blog site before I head off to work. I did find time on Easter Sunday to stamp some great cards for friends. It was easy to do seeing that we had about 8 inches of snow fall and it was coming down in big fluffy flakes.
This first card I made with the Just Beachy set from the occations mini catalog and I love it- I used Turquoise paper and Whisper White, and paper from the Pink Flamigo DP, I did a little blender pen action and well I think it came out real cute. Yes that is the palm tree from Aloha, this card was mad for a man and I did not think the flip flops would work. I found that I love the colors used in the Pink Flamigo paper, they are a good way to break out of your box and play with bright colors.
One of my husband friends has a birthday this month, I have a hard time making male cards-So I found my Lovely as a Tree stamp set and went to work. I used some of the Taste of Textile Papers (love this paper) it gives a great layer of dimension to the card. The main tree is embossed, with a clear embossing-then I just found some Kraft card stock and one of the prints from the Manchester paper collection. After layering all the parts it needed more-so black twine and a piece of hardware finished it off. I like this card. It is simple with a WOW factor, my husband even gave it a Thumbs up!
Lastly I made a Thank You card for a friend who helped me plan a trip. I used my favorite hostess set the Rustic Rooster. I did the silk technique to the letter then aged it with some chocolate chip, after that I used the Bella Toile background stamp on the black and then put the card together. The paper I used was Naturals Ivory, black and More Mustard. This combination of paper gave the card an "old world" look and that was what I was looking for.Thank you for viewing my projects may you have fun creating great things with paper.
