Golden Anniversary

This was a clean and simple but elegant gold anniversary card. Used SU's detailed floral thinlits dies with last year's sale-a-bration metallic washi tape

Two hearts

Another simple card for anniversary or Valentine's but I did it for anniversary. I used some heart chip shape that I got at Impress and washi tape from my stash to cover them. I cover with tissue paper first as putting the washi tape by itself you could see the craft paper and it was easier than painting and you know me and my OCD :0) my background was done with script folder by Cuttlebug

Feliz Cumpleaños

Today is my mom's birthday and this is the card I made for her. I used the split panel with paisleys & posies set by SU stamped with brushed corduroy and the message is also by SU días felices

Hello

This was a clean and simple card that went in one of my donation boxes. I used confetti textured impressions embossing folder by SU, 3D sticker from the Dollar Tree, hello is from vertical messages set by Gina K Designs stamped with tuxedo black ink

Shoebox Tuesday

For today's shoebox project,  I decided to do one of the Sunday Tip or Techniques from one of my Yahoo Groups. This TT was doing background or stamping with rubber bands. I normally don't have rubber bands although my girlfriend reminded me I had bought a bag but since I don't use them I had forgotten that they were somewhere in my craft room, anyway I did find some that fit perfectly in my block. The original tutorial was using markers to color in the rubber bands and then sponge to add the color but I decided to use small ink pads spiced marmalade, dried marigold & ripe persimmon and instead of sponging my background I used a blending tool to do DTP with old paper ink. I stamped my leaf with vintage photo ink from the wonderfall set by SU and the message also with the same ink and SU from the set for all things and the punch duet banner. I mounted the top part of the punch with foam

thank you

One of my girlfriends gave me a bunch of background papers she didn't want and since I was working on one sheet wonders was perfect! still working on those so haven't used all the papers she gave me but there was a piece of paper she had used for something. My first instinct was to toss after all she gave me enough that that 1/3 piece wasn't much but was pretty to toss so this is what I made. I used massive messages set by Gina K Designs with espresso truffle ink and I used some scraps of white paper so cards are not A2 size

Red & white hearts

This was another clean and simple card, I saw the idea on Pinterest a while back. I used the hearts from adorning accents set texture impressions embossing border folder by SU; Classic heart dies by Spellbinders; faux pearls by Recollections; Words background stamp by Local King with love letter ink; Valentine’s Day ribbon by Celebrate it

White on white

I love white on white, it's very simple done, but I think it's elegant and striking...to me. I used Avery folder by Anna Griffith and Cuttlebug, added some pearls on all the little flowers and the ribbon is from Celebrate It from Michaels

Beautiful day

Today is one of my stamping friends' birthday and this is the card I made for her. I was debating what to do or which card to give her but at the end, I just grabbed this Altenew set that I think I've only used once and had been wanting to do something with it so did a clean and simple card.

I used Altenew inks I love the inks because you don't have to figure out which colors goes with which but TO ME they don't work good with clear stamps, with rubber they're great nice even coverage mostly on the first try the problem with clear is that they don't and if you have to stamp more than once to get the nice full coverage the ink becomes darker so the next color has to be darker, anyway that's just my experience. I used on the leaves olive, parrot & bamboo and for the flowers blush, rouge, crimson & velvet, the message was done with tuxedo black

Sending smiles

This was a fun card to make that could be for anyone. The idea was from Expressively Deb, I think she used the new set but I used their old set wonderful wings. I colored the dragonfly with Copic Markers, the background was done with ink blot set by CTMH with new sprout ink, the message is from lift me up set by SU with cottage ivy ink

Thinking of you

Another monochromatic clean and simple card using the same wetlands set. On this one was done with tuxedo black ink. One circle was done with Marvy punch and the other with my Brother Scan N Cut

Male monochomatic

This card was clean and simple mostly male card. Used wetland set by SU with rich cocoa ink. For the background I used textured diamond stencil with Copic airbrush system, the twine was the old natural cord SU sold which wasn't very playable

Sunday Tip or Technique

In one of my Yahoo groups, we have our Sunday Tip or Technique and it was back and I decided to play with it right away yes I not always do things with it because I have done it, or too messy or not enough time so it's on my list to do but I was on the wanting to do something and lazy mode at the same time LOL so did it and this is what I did.

The TT was lattice card and I didn't do it the way the tutorial had it, as it was way too much work for me LOL so of course it didn't end the same but I was happy with the end project. I used an image I had stamped a while back with definitely dahlia stamp by SU with wilted violet, added some fabric tape and the message and hearts are from two sets by Simon Says Stamp with grape jelly

I wasn't too happy with the way it looked weird on the bottom so I added the piece I cut off I think on top to the bottom and it looked looked the lattice just continue

OSW 12x12 red flowers

Another one sheet wonder this time I used Michele's idea but decided to just cut the paper in 3 strips of 4" then 5.25" and in half so ended up with 4 pieces of each and 3. All pieces were mounted on black cardstock and messages stamped with tuxedo black ink

so I had 4 cards like this with million & one set by SU

4 cards like this with big greetings by Avery Elle and thanks stamp & cut set by Hero Arts

Feliz Dia de la Independencia

Today is our independence day and this is the card I made my family, it's like this but I added our flag and of course the only colors I used was ours.

The celebremos is part of a set by My Pink Stamper everything else is exactly the same supplies as the other card. The red ink is love letter and the green ink cottage ivy. Balloon adventures stamp set & balloon pop-up die both by SU and balloon bouquet for the top balloon since the balloon shows so you need to cover it

OSW 12x12 flowers

One more one sheet wonder using Michele's template and ideas. All cards were with black cardstock and tuxedo black ink. Because I didn't pay attention on the paper when I grabbed and cut it had some wording that is not meant for reading but it does have a direction so  most cards were on the opposite direction as the other cards I had done

Shoebox Thursday by Kathy

For today's shoebox project, Kathy had a Christmas card for us. We used Spellbinders wonky squares dies, SU's polka dots folder, the message (which I don't know from which set) was stamped with VersaMark and embossed with SU's detailed silver powder and the main image were stickers. I added a little Copic to anchor the Santa

OSW 12x12 flowers

One more one sheet wonder, yes I enjoyed doing these cards, they have been quick and easy and like Michele said if you put all kinds of messages you'll have lots of cards ready to go but since I was doing a donation box mostly they were thank you and some general messages.
