SWOON....

What can I say I absolutely love, love, this stamp set...it has become my very favorite. The intricate lines in the ginko leaves get me every time I use it.
I think the detail is so lovely and you can create such a clean and simple card. Sorry for the shadow on the card it was an overcast day when I took the pix!



My color choices are...card base of River Rock, framed with a Night of Navy piece and inks of the same colors. I especially like the sentiment stamped over a smaller leaf stamp. I really could have "blinged" the card up with some rhinestones or pearls, but it was a masculine get well card I needed, so I pulled in the reins on the bling!

Oh almost forgot, here's a peek at the inside as well.

















Supplies: Card stock & inks, Stampin' Up River Rock, Night of Navy and whisper white

LATE NIGHT SCRAPPIN'

Here is a card I made with my daughter, Nance of Canopy Crafts on our late night scrappin', such a treat to scrap with her.

This card was made by her monthly card class and she had one kit already made up for me. So of course I was very happy to put it all together, easy as pie!
Isn't it pretty?







Here's a peek at the inside as well (my daughter's signature is to always "dress" the inside of the card as well).







This next card is for a man's birthday, so I kept it fairly simple, just white, black and a pop of red. I think the houndstooth stamp really sets the tone for a masculine card, what do you think?




























Here's a closeup of the houndstooth embossing on the black panel.



Thanks for looking and I hope you have time to leave a comment,
Nancy

Yummy birthday card!-FMS#25

Had to share this card with you, it's for a nephew's daughter who's turning FIVE years old!

I'm also entering this card for... Linda Callahan's sketch at.Freshly Made Sketches.


I rearranged the placement of the ribbon which worked better with the items I used.

I stamped the focal image on cs and fussy cut it, stamped it again to cut out the cupcake icing and "frost" it with Dazzling Diamonds. Embossed front panel adhered a strip of designer paper framed with Espresso and attached the cupcake with dimensionals. Cut a 1" circle to hold the "#5" dies.















A close up of the dazzling diamond glitter as well as the "cherry" on top!



















Here's a peek at the inside too (small space for a little cash)!


Supplies used: Paper: SU Pool Party & Espresso card stock, SU Specialty Sweet Shop DSP Inks: SU Espresso and Pool Party Misc. Narrow chocolate ribbon, SU Dazzling Details, Cricut Plantin Schoolbook cartridge for # 5, SU embossing folder

I'd love to hear from you, please leave me a comment after you've had a look,
thanks so much.

Spring Birthdays!

Here's one of the cards I made while my daughter Nance of Canopy Crafts and family were visiting me. It was fun to be able to sneak in some scrappin' time with her again.

I love the background stamping using the same color to create visual interest in the card stock. It also ties in to the focal image (same stamp) being stamped once again. I then die cut two panels with fancy ends added a die cut frame and stamping and a yummy chocolate satin ribbon bow with a small yellow rhinestone.






A peek at the inside with the focal image stamp on the bottom and just a hint of a flower peaking at the top (love this stamp set) of the sentiment panel.

Supplies used: Stamps & sentiment: PTI Pretty Peonies, Fillable Frames Additions 2 Paper: SU Daffodil Delight CS, PTI Dearest Jane Patterned paper Dies: PTI Fillable Frames #8 & Half & Half

CAS Sympathy card

A quick post to share a very easy card with you. I needed a sympathy card and took the inspiration from My Creative Side, for this easy, but elegant look...thanks for inspiring!

Gorgeous...

Just wanted to share a photo from our backyard, this Bougainvillea bush started out as a little guy and has grown with gusto, isn't it pretty! It does have a sister bush across the yard and it's pretty, but not like this one. I guess this one is pretty happy. I'm happy just admiring it!

Hope Spring is around the corner in your neck of the woods!
