Army Proud

 Hi Everyone, 

I was in need of a couple of cards and had little time to make them, so I went with my favorite Dogwood Branch stamp that would work for both, and a couple of sentiments.  

I simply stamped the With Sympathy Greeting and the flowers multiple times, adding color by stamping using a small square ink pad.

I did the same here, but added a die cut Brush Thank You.  Some glitter glue was added for some flair.

Finally, I made another star filled card to honor our military, using the following stamps:

Navy Proud

  Hi Everyone,

Since we're coming up on Memorial Day weekend, I thought I would share a military themed card.  DRS Designs has recently released a group of military emblems and my card today showcases Navy Proud.

I took inspiration from some of the emblems I saw online, which contained the colors of yellow and blue.  I heat embossed the emblem and also the background made using the Starry Background stamp.

To complete the card, I added a die cut banner along with a few die cut stars.

This card is one I made for a friend's birthday, and I took inspiration from this card:

Here are the stamps I used:

Tree Slice Woodgrain

Peeking Gnome

Gnome One Like You Greeting

Ladybug Toadstool

Birthday Toast

  Hi Everyone,

One more cheerful birthday card coming your way, featuring this sweet little Party Toast and the matching Birthday Toast Greeting.

The background was made using an embossing folder (Lifestyle Crafts) and I fussy cut the toast, attaching it to a die cut square.  Some of my most used sentiments are ones that fit inside of a punch, so don't be surprised if you see me using this again and again.

I attached the image and greeting with dimensional tape, along with some fussy cut candles from

Birthday Candle Burst for embellishment.  

Thanks for stopping by!

Fishing Birthday

 Hi Everyone,

I love how happy this Proud Catch Fisherman looks when it comes to his big catch, so I thought he would be perfect for this new  O-Fishal Birthday Greeting!

The greeting and image do most of heavy lifting when it comes to making a cute card, so I simply made a background using Vicki's Versatile Background and Sand Snow Water Lines, using blue and green ink.

The black strip was embellished by me adding a few doodles and the Big Mouth Bass was fussy cut and added with pop dot.

Here hoping YOU have a REEL-Y great day too!

Mother's Day

 Hi Everyone,

Since the new You Were Right Mother's Day Greeting mentions forgoing flowers and teacups, I thought I would make the card using non floral stamps.

I used my favorite Splatter Background stamp and inked it up multiple times using yellow, pink, orange and green ink.  I then used those same colors to color up the stamped Small Stained-Glass image.  

To finish it off, I added a couple of rows of matching gems.

Virtual stamping hugs to all the crafty moms out there!
