Happy Birthday Little Sis

Today is my sister's birthday and I wanted to make her a special card.  She loves stargazer lilies so I thought I would make a few to put on a card for her.  I had no idea what I wanted the design of the card to look like, so I did a little roaming around and came across Joanne's beautiful card.  Not so hard to put your three lilies on a card when you have something like this to follow!  Thanks, Joanne, for the inspiration!

It starts with a pretty simple looking box...

...and ends with a lovely card!  

 

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Need for Speed

Today's card was the one masculine card I made for my June stamp a stack.  It was quick and easy to prep and quick and easy to make.  The ladies like having an easy card every now and then. :)



Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Welcome to our next Red Hot Stamper's sketch challenge.  Yes, this week I made another carnation for my card...this challenge happened to be perfect for it.  By the way, in case you're getting sick of them you'll be glad to know this is one of the last ones I need to make for a while...I think. lol  I've been making them for ladies' birthdays that I've been stamping with over the years, and who also have come and supported me at my stamp a stacks. :)  To see a few other cards from this challenge visit the Red Hot Stampers blog  here. 

A 3-D flower needs a special "envelope" too. :)

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Well, it seems like the lazy side of me has been showing again this week.  I have plenty of cards to put on here, but I haven't been doing it!  I figured I'd get to it again and show you the cards I made to swap with the Red Hot Stampers.  I got some really cute cards in return too!  I love the variety of cards I get from doing swaps. 

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Welcome to another Red Hot Stamper's sketch challenge.  I loved the challenge this week because it went perfectly with a flower I wanted to put on a card for a stamping friend's birthday.  Yes, it's another carnation.  I think that's kind of been my flower of choice this year for most of the ladies birthdays that come come to my stamp a stacks. Just a different design each time. :)  Head on over to the Red Hot Stampers' Blog here to check out a few more cards for challenge #44.

A big flower needs a big envelope, so I had to make a matching box. :)

Thanks for looking and have a great day!
