Hi, I have a quick card to share with you today.

Well quick for me even though it is very simple it still took me 

30-45 minutes to make.  It just takes me forever to pick my papers

and the embossing folders.

Freshly Made Sketches

As soon as I saw this sketch at Freshly Made Sketches I

knew I wanted to make a CAS (clean and simple) card using

different tones of the same color.

So here is what I came up with.

I used pearl linen like paper for the white background and embossed

it with an Anna Griffith folder. I stamped the sentiment

using a Verve stamp.

And that is it, even though it is a very simple

card I love how it turned out.

Thanks for stopping by, I would love the hear what you think of my card.

Cardabilities Sketch Challenge

I love working with sketches, in fact I am not sure I could make a card without following one anymore.  

This week on my Bloglovin feed I found a sketch challenge called

Cardabilities, this week it is sketch #82.

 

Here is what I came up with following that sketch.

The background paper is from Sassy Designs digital paper that I printed using my printer.  The half circle is vellum and I sprayed it with Tattered Angels and drug it around to make the swirls, then I embossed it with a Anna Griffin embossing folder.

I was so happy when I found the happy birthday stamp in my collection as it fit perfect on that rectangle.  It is a Stamper's Best stamp.

I cut the corners using my Cricut cartridge Picturesque.

I added some Cloud 9 epoxy buttons to the bottom, and that is it.

Thanks for stopping by, if you want to play along at Cardabilities you have till September 13th.

Card using Tags

Hi, have a simple card to share with you today.

Recently I got my set of the Anna Griffin embossing folders, wow I love them. 

I used one of the 5 x 7 ones for this card.

I used some s.e.i Ally's Wonderland die cut tags that I have had for a very long time.

I mounted those tags on a strip of white pearl paper, then added some sheet ribbon at the top.  That's it!

Thanks for stopping to take a peak, I love reading your comments.

Blue & Yellow Checked

Hello everyone glad you stopped by.  I just realized something, I have the hardest time coming up with a title for my post.  LOL
Well this one spells out exactly what this card it.

I made this using these papers I have had for a very very long time.  I bought this paper pack from D.O.T.S when I first started making cards over 16 years ago.  the company DOTS is now known as Close to my Heart.  I love the contrast of the bright blue and yellow.
The banner I cut using the CTMH Art Philosophy cartridge.  The center area and blue strip I used my new Anna Griffin Cuttlebug embossing folders.  I love them, I know they came out a little while ago but I just got them.  I also cut the label using Art Philosophy and stamped it with a Gina K stamp.

Thanks you so much for taking the time to stop by and I would love read your comments.
