Folded Circles

My friend Amanda showed this technique of punching 6 1 and 3/8" circles, folding the edges over, and gluing them into a circle.  I made three cards with three different designer papers.  Fun and easy!  Thanks, Amanda!

Parfait Fabulous Florets

Loved the great colors and design of the card from Regina at

Flower Fest

This is my first chance to play around with the bright embossing powders and Flower Fest set.  Love all the variety in that set and expect to make lots of cards with it!

Blueberry Birthday Bird

Inspired by a lovely card I saw on SCS.

Paisley Prints Cameo

I wanted to use some of my new Paisley Prints dsp, but had trouble finding the matching ink.  I finally decided that Cameo Coral worked best.  I love the way this paper has so much variation in color throughout the page.  I added some tiny pearls on the Elegant Lines embossing to balance the card. 

Mother's Day Cards

Happy Thursday!

I got the last of my Mother's Day cards made for some special ladies in my life.  Started with Bliss and Blueberry Crisp and just kept making cards.  Hope you like them!

Razzleberry Birthday

I created this card for my beautiful daughter-in-law on her birthday.  Started with a white base, layered Old Olive then a Rich Razzleberry layer that I ran through the Big Shot with the dot folder.  I used markers directly on the stamp, then stamped it on white, and layered it on Bermuda Bay with a punched edge.  It doesn't show in the picture, but I used Dazzling Diamonds on the candle flame and on the little dots decorating the cake.  I used some colored wire to cinch the ribbon into a bow and attach the button, then used glue dots to stick it on top.  I looks happy and fun for a spring birthday.  Hope you like it!

Ice Cream Parlor BIrthday

I've had lots of fun with this paper, buttons and ribbon.  It's bright and just gives me a happy feeling.  I'd love to hear your comments for any of my cards. 

Quilted Birthday

So many beautiful quilted cards are out, especially using Springtime Vintage.  This one starts with a square turned on the diagonal in the center, then 3/8 inch strips laid around it one a time.  This is a wonderful tutorial I found on Nancy's blog.  Thanks, Nancy!

Simple Sympathy

Used the sketch from the 411 198 challenge again as the basis for this card.  I wanted it simple, yet pretty for my friend. 

Test Tube Jelly Beans

I made these to share as a spring treat.  I had intended to use these test tubes with M & Ms, but they were too small.  Turns out that Starburst jelly beans fit perfectly.  Just added a tag and a bow.

Mambo and Pumpkin Congrats

I Made this for the 411 Saturday Sketch 198, another first for me.  I stacked the buttons using glue dots then added an Old Olive paper strip to tie them together.  Punched congrats with the Tiny Tag.  Hope you like it .
