Scalloped Birthday Card with Card Captions

I love, the January Stamp of the Month, Card Captions!

You need this set!!!

I made this fun card using this set, along with one of the dies from the Decorative Borders Thin Cuts set, and the patterned paper is from So Much Happy.

I made the scallops stand out even more by bumping them up in the center scallop with 3D foam tape.

Happy creating!  :)

Celebrate with Colour Your Life - April SOTM

I used the April Stamp of the Month set, Colour Your Life set for the Celebrate sentiment on this pretty card.

The flowers and foliage are from the Chelsea Gardens Cardmaking stamp set.

Both of these sets are available only until the end of April!!!

I think this card could be used for a birthday or a wedding, or really anything you want to celebrate.  ;)

This card is completely inspired by this one by Charlet Mallett.

April Stamp of the Month, Colour Your Life.

Hello Sunshine

I love the look of Gold with Bashful, the CTMH colour of the year.

So feminine and pretty!

The sentiment is from Sunny Thoughts, the February stamp of the month.

And the stamp right below the sentiment is from the Splash of Color stamp set.

(The hearts on the background is from a retired set, called Charming Cascades.)

The embellishments I used are Bashful Pearls, and Gold ribbon.

Happy creating!  :)

You Are The Sunshine... (Sunny Thoughts - Feb SOTM)

I have another Sunny Thoughts card to share with you today.

I paired it with the floral and fauna from Chelsea Gardens Cardmaking stamp set and Chelsea Gardens papers.

Pretty.

Happy creating!  :)

Warm Birthday Wishes in Pinks

I love this card!

I was inspired by the Close To My Heart special this month called Pretty In Pink.  

You can get certain pink themed items at a 30% discount, plus they even created a butterfly mobile craft project that you can order.  How fun is that?  

I sponged Bashful, Blossom, and Raspberry onto a piece of White Daisy cardstock to create the colourful background.  Then I used the retired Charming Cascades to white emboss the falling hearts over top.

The heart was cut with the smallest Hearts Thin Cuts die shape from Bashful Glitter paper, and then I sponged Raspberry ink on the lower half of the heart to give it a ombre effect.

The sentiment is from the Sunny Thoughts - February SOTM stamp set.   Certainly a fave of mine right now!

Happy creating!  :)

Pretty Butterfly Birthday Wishes

I used a couple of different stamp sets on this card.

The butterfly is from Chelsea Gardens - Cardmaking stamp set.

And the other images are from the February SOTM set, Sunny Thoughts.  (You can get Sunny Thoughts during February for just $6 with a minimum $50 order, or order it without a minimum order for $23.)

The paper I used is from the Gimme Some Sugar paper packet.  Gimme Some Sugar is baking themed, but it works so lovely with this card.  

There are actually only a couple of prints in the package with baking images, and it is double sided paper with a completely different pattern on the opposite side.   So it could be used to make a wonderful recipe album, beautiful baking/cooking layouts, and so much more!  I especially love the woodgrain paper in this pack! 

Happy creating!  :)

Sunshine - Sunny Thoughts Feb SOTM

This was a fun card to make, but then again, I enjoy creating all the time.  ;)

I used a couple shades of blue inks, and yellow & orange to sponge the colours onto the main sentiment image.

Sunny Thoughts - February Stamp of the Month

Happy creating!  :)

Hello Sunshine Card (Sunny Thoughts - Feb SOTM)

I am loving the February Stamp of the Month set, Sunny Thoughts.

It's style is right up my alley!

I white embossed the images onto Charcoal cardstock, and then lightly coloured in some parts of the flower images with ShinHan markers.

So simple, but striking!

S1802 Sunny Thoughts $23 (or just $6 with a minimum $50 purchase)

Available Feb 1-28th

I will have at least two more cards to share with you that I made using this set...

Happy creating  :)
