I created this card for a card sketch challenge on Splitcoastampers.com. This was an interesting layout.  Die cuts were used for the flowers, leaves and flower centers.  A  green scallop edging and a hello greeting completes the design.  Take a look at my gallery on splitcoaststampers.com and leave a comment!

I taught a class today at Scrapbook Cove, Stonington, Connecticut today.  We had fun using old dictionary pages, scraps of patterned paper and a nest made from paper bag strips.  Everyone’s project looks awesome, including the two I made.  A great way  to up-cycle!

This is a great guy card that is easy to make.  I used a bicycle die cut from Die-Versions.  Used coordinating pattern paper and embossed the solid banner strips.  Added a birthday banner with a coordinating brad. Ready for the mail!

I made another hedgehog card this time using pink paper and markers. Slightly different layout with a green accent embossed banner strip.  Of course I added glitter accent to the flowers.  Love it!

Here is my welcome to spring card.  I colored the image with markers, watercolored the background and of course added glitter glue as the last step.  Can’t wait to put the cards in the mail!

I recently received new stamps and die cuts from Penny Black. Hooray!  I like the shades of yellow and patterned papers. Makes me smile!

With another six inches of snow last night and clearing off the driveway again- it was time for a card with bright spring colors.  Hand cut flowers, paper doily and a word banner complete the look. And of course, some glitter glue and liquid pearls complete the look.  This card makes me smile.

This card creation features a Hero Arts fern frond.  I embossed the stamped image with peppered turquoise opaque embossing powder.  The background paper was inked and blended with Ranger distress ink.  A card to send to someone special.
