Window Views Part Three

 Hello Everyone

Wanted to share more of the cards I have been working on for months.  Most of them went to my BFFs and I kept a few.  This is a collection of cards featuring a window view. I used one stamp and die set and varied how I stamped the images on the cardstock and how the die cuts were used.  

Stamp and Die set: Welcoming Window from Stampin' Up

The use a combination of stamping and die cutting.  Cards one and two use decorative paper backgrounds. 






This card has a stamped brick wall background.  





That is the last of the window view cards.  I still have many more cards left in the collection of cards that I made for my BFFs.  I will continue to post those.  I have lots of photos to edit too.  But I will endeavor to get them all posted. 

So glad you stopped by today.  I hope you are having a lovely day.

Happy Mother's Day Shaker Card

 Hello Everyone

Happy Mother's Day!!!


I wanted to make some shaker cards and use the bottle shape dome that was purchased a while ago. So, I thought this would make a lovely Mother's Day Card.  I filled the dome with some bobbles that my BFF gave me.  I used the stamp set called Bottled Happiness with matching punch from Stampin' Up.













Fun projects to make.  My first shaker card. LOL  

Hope everyone has a great day!!

Window Views Part One

 Hello Everyone

Wanted to share more of the cards I have been working on for months.  Most of them went to my BFFs and I kept a few.  This is a collection of cards featuring a window view. I used one stamp and die set and varied how I stamped the images on the cardstock and how the die cuts were used.

A brick wall dry embossing folder was used on the first two cards.




This was inspired by a card on the Stampin Up web site. And is nice and simple and so sweet for a friend.


I hate to repeat myself but, the cards were really fun to make, and I thoroughly enjoyed myself.  My BFFs loved them too.   See you next time with more of the window scene cards.

More Garden Scenes

 Hello Everyone

Wanted to share more of the cards I have been working on for months.  Most of them went to my BFFs and I kept a few.  This is a collection of cards featuring a garden scene. I used one stamp set and varied how I stamped the images on the cardstock.  I used lots of different colors and just kept stamping and stamping. This set of cards are styled in a more Clean and Simple way.

So just a nice bunch of cards to send out for any occasion.  See you again soon for more cards. They will feature a window scene. 

Hope you have a lovely day.

Garden Gate Scenes

 Hello Everyone

Wanted to share more of the cards I have been working on for months.  Most of them went to my BFFs and I kept a few.  This is a collection of cards featuring a garden scene. I used one stamp set and varied how I stamped the images on the cardstock.  I used lots of different colors and just kept stamping and stamping.

All cards are colored with watercolor markers.

Cards 1 - 3 are all stamped directly on the white cardstock.  I used a mask to stamp the fence behind the flowers.







On the 4th card I die cut the gate and all the flowers.  I created a background with green cs for the ground and blue for the sky.



I do have a few more of the garden scene cards which I will post next time.  Hope you are enjoying the cards and that they evoke feelings of Spring.

I used one stamp set and varied how I stamped the images on the cardstock.  I used lots of different colors and just kept stamping and stamping.  I did get carried away.
