Wisteria Wonder Wings

Today's card is full of butterflies...Wisteria Wonder butterflies.   And now just a little add in here ~ I generally don't like to case cards, but only get inspiration from them.  Most of the time I'll look at a card for an idea and go in a totally different direction, however you can see I've done a pretty close case to yesterday's card as well as today's card.  I always write who inspired my card if it's pretty similar, or who I cased my card from, being careful to follow each person's requirements if they have them listed on their blog.  So, as I was saying earlier...butterflies.  As I was wondering on Splitcoast I saw a card by Bronwyn and loved it because I was all about spring for this month's stamp a stack.  You can check out Bronwyn's card and blog here


Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Celebrate!

Today's card was the one and only masculine card in the group at my stamp a stack...and I love how it turned out!  Generally masculine cards are usually just "there" if you know what I mean.  There's something to this Feeling Sentimental set that I really like though.  I'd love to say I came up with this idea on my own, but I was inspired by Elizabeth H. on Splitcoast.   You can check out her card here.

Pleasant Poppies

Today I thought I'd post one of the cards we're making for this month's stamp a stack.  If you could see all of the cards, you'd notice four out of five are definitely telling you I'm ready for spring and summer. :)  I made a card similar to this one for my upline's open house and thought I'd copy that card for this class.  Guess I didn't get a picture of it though and of course I don't remember exactly what I did...figures! lol

RHSSC - Warmest Wishes

Well, I'm back again for the Red Hot Stampers' sketch challenge after taking a break last week.  I must say this challenge was definitely a hard one for me.  I was tempted to turn it upside down and try something, but I couldn't come up with anything I was satisfied with.  You don't even want to know what my husband and daughter were telling me to do! lol  Don't forget to check out the other Red Hots' sketches here

Here's another sample I made featuring paper-piercing.  I actually made this card for my January stamp a stack, then added the paper-piercing later on for the Spring Catalog open house.

Valentine's Day - 2

Here's my last Valentine project that I made for my upline's open house.  Even though you can't tell it from the pictures, but the top of it is left open.  I never did buy anything to tuck into it, but it would fit a candy bar or a few small ones just perfectly.  After I made the first side of it I decided to make the other side opposite of the first side.




Thanks for looking and have a great day!
