Easter Wishes

I'm back with another Easter card today with a stamped egg background. This one features the cute bunny from Friendship Jar Spring Fillers as well.



I hope everyone has a wonderful Easter weekend!

Happy Easter

I found a bit of time to make some Easter cards today! I stamped the background with the eggs from Friendship Jar Spring Filler in Hawaiian Shores ink. The little chick also comes from that set. Hope you had a great weekend!

Make It Monday: Embossing

Hi! It's been a long time...life has been busy!! I want to share a set of cards that I made using heat embossing (one of my favorite techniques!). These cards are part of a bundle that I'll be donating for my daughter's preschool silent auction fundraiser.



The design is the same for all six: a die-cut Mat Stack 4 stamped with several images from that same set, a heat-embossed background using a stamp from Damask Designs, and several different sentiments from various sets.



On some of the cards, I rounded the bottom edges. I chose not to include ribbon on these, so they are easily mailable.



I wanted to include a variety of sentiments, they come from Vintage Picnic, Just the Ticket, and Star Prints.



And finally a photo of that lovely embossing!



Thanks for coming by to look!

Happy Mother's Day

I really love the new Postmarks set from PTI! I was playing around and came up with this card.



I stamped the postage stamp image with Fresh Snow ink onto Kraft cardstock. The label comes from Label Basics, which I cut out by hand. I stamped another postage stamp image onto a die cut stamp, using Berry Sorbet ink. I may go back and add a couple buttons or gems, it seems to need a little something more.

I've been busy working this weekend making some Easter cards for a friend, and designing and preparing some cards for a card-making evening with some friends on Tuesday. I'll share those soon.

Hope you had a great weekend!

Thanks so much

This card was made a while back, but never got posted, I guess! I'm not finding as much for blogging as I used to.



I was playing around with royal velvet when I made this, as well as Tag-Its 1.

Thanks for looking!

Cute as a button

My friend recently had a baby girl, so I was inspired to put together this card.

I attended a get-together of PTI stampers from the DC area a couple weeks ago, and I was lucky to use other people's stuff! I cut out and stamped some of the bitty backgrounds that you see on this card, as well as some button things.



I stamped the background using Polka Dot Basics II in Vintage Cream ink. The sentiment comes from Baby Button Bits.



On the inside, I used Inside and Out: Baby to add a verse and congratulations.

This card works for the current Passion for Papertrey challenge .

Thanks for looking!
