Happy Mother's Day

You wouldn't be here without her. You are the person that you are because of her. Make her feel special today. She's the only one that you have.




This card was designed with her in mind. She's a little rough around the edges, like the sponged grooves on the wall in the background, but soft and beautiful like the butterfly. She's a little girly, like the glittery butterfly accent, and she's a bit crazy, like the background stamps on the wall.

I chose yellow for this one, but if you scroll down, you'll see it in pink and in purple as well. I also did an alternate in case you wanted to see it for a friend instead of your Mom.

Funny thing thing about this card. I designed it to use in my card class, which was the same day that the Stampin' Up! retirement list was published. Dontcha know that just about everything I used for this card is retiring! Stamp sets, embossing folder, even some of the ink colors and the doilies! If you really like this card, you should order the stamps now. They will only be available until May 26th to order.






I hope you like this card (and it's alternates). Please leave me a message below to let me know, or just to say "Hi!"

Thank you for stopping by. Have a great day, Happy Mother's Day, and Happy Stampin!

Happy Birthday Gorgeous

I designed this card for my daughter-in-law for her birthday. Lucky that her favorite color is purple, as it is mine too (in case you didn't know!)




I love how the background came out using the Marbled Background stamp. I inked it up using the Wisteria Wonder ink, then I used a Stampin Sponge inked with Elegant Eggplant and just spot inked it in various placed on the stamp. To finish the inking I used a sponge brayer to smooth out the ink spots. To color in the girl I used an Aqua Painter with the Wisteria Wonder ink pad. 

If you don't like purple (???) I'm sure you can use your favorite colors to make this card too!

I hope you like this card. Please leave me a comment below to let me know, or just to say "Hi!"

Thank you for stopping by today. Have a great day, and Happy Stampin!

You Are Amazing

You don't have a lot of supplies?? Just starting out with a stash of a few inks and papers? This card is the one for you! 




There is something fulfilling when you can design a card that is so simple to duplicate. This card can be made over and over again with every color imaginable. Make a set and give it as a gift for that person who has everything. It would be a perfect hostess gift, or for the Mom in your life that loves to send cards.

I hope you liked this super simple card. Please leave me a comment below to let me know or just to say "Hi!"

Thank you for stopping by. Have a great day, and Happy Stampin!
