Need for Speed

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. :)

Bright Field Flowers

Today's card is one I made for my June stamp a stack.  Guess I didn't feel like coming up with my own design and colors for this card so I used Mojo Monday's design from a few weeks ago and Stamping 411's color inspiration from the beginning of April.

Sunny Serene Silhouettes

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.

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. :)

It's Independence Day!

Happy 4th of July and Happy Birthday to a friend and fellow stamper who gives out many, many cards each month to let people know she's thinking about them.  I love that I can make a red, white and blue card special for her just like she does for so many other people.  I dropped it off last night (just after 9 pm at her front door), so I hope she ends up finding it! lol  I didn't want to knock on the door so late in the evening.  I saw the Stamping 411 Saturday sketch challenge here and thought it would make a cute card for a 4th of July birthday.
