So excited... I have entered this card in this weeks Simon Says Stamp Monday and Wednesday challenges...  This week the challenges are to use a "big" stamp and keep it "simple."  I picked this card to enter both challenges because it meets both of those criteria!  I used a glossy card stock and then stamped with a large pattern design layering large black dots over the design.  I then used a patterned paper and distressed it a bit by tearing it and stamped a Happy Birthday message.  This card is very simple but bright and fun!  Cross your fingers... hope I win this week!

Happy April vacation!  I love the fact that the snow has melted here and the flowers have just started to pop out!  I am not a winter person even though in Maine the winters are very long!  With that said I have been playing with some cards that remind me of spring and summer!!!  I just created a few different cards using flowers and butterflies.  Here are a couple creations I just came up with over the past week or so...

With this card I wanted to create a 3D look that reminded me of spring!  I used and embossing folder by Sissix and some varied card stock.  I used a stamp set from Stampin' Up and used some watercolor pencils for the flowers.  Then I used some printed card stock for the butterflies!  I love the look.  Its elegant and screams spring!!!

With my second card I wanted a spring look for an Easter card.  With this creation I used some patterned card stock to add some layers and colors, then I embossed a honeycomb pattern on white card stock.  I then added some butterflies made with different patterned card stock and a small chick stamp from Stampin' Up. I love the colors in this card!!!  So happy that the warmer weather is on the way!!!!  

Stay tuned for more of my latest creations!! 

Good Morning!  The sun is shining and I have been busy creating some new cards this weekend!  I have several Birthdays to celebrate this week and many cards to give out!  Here is one that I was working on.  I love Washi Tape!!! Its so fun to use and there are so many patterns and colors to choose from!  I am a bit obsessed with it right now!  Here is one of my creations made using only card stock and Washi Tape.

Here is a look at my Birthday Card entry:

For this card I used some Distressed paints (Tim Holtz) and then I layered in a few stampin' up stamps using black Ranger ink.  I then used some dye cut embellishments, twine and brads to help finish it off!  I hope you like it!  

I was having fun with the colors they looked great together!
