Watercolor Mother's Day Card

Image
  I wanted to use the CTMH Finding Beauty set. I liked how these stamps had a watercolor effect to them. I used my new So Swirly embossing folder to give the Polished Pink CS some texture. Then used Pear Pizzazz as the accent color. The Mother's Day sentiment is from SU Daffodil Daydream.

  I used the Friendly Hello stamp set from Stampin' Up! I wasn't quite sure what to do with it, so I followed the Mystery Stamping on YouTube to get some inspiration. I think it turned out great!

  I used some random paper I had to make this card. I found Balmy Blue and Fresh Freesia coordinated with some of the flowers in the paper and used those for the accent colors, as well as black. The Celebrate stamp was from a very old Stampin Up set. I think they turned out fun!

Accordion Fold Fishing Card

 I found this card on Pinterest that I thought would be fun to recreate, but it didn't have any information on how to make it, so I got to figure it out for myself! Here are the details: 1. Cut Crumb Cake to 5 1/2 x 8 1/2. Score and fold at 4 1/4. 2. I used some old CTMH paper, Indian Corn Blue, for the next layer. Cut to 5 1/4 x 12. Score at 4, 6 1/2, 9, and 10 1/2. Fold accordion style. 3. I embossed the smallest fold with the tree bark embossing folder. 4. Layer the other two panels, 3 3/4 x 5 and 2 1/4 x 5.  5. Stamp and cut images. Adhere to front as desired. I really liked the style of this stamp set. It was fun to work with!

  I loved this layout I found on Pinterest and copied it, except changed out the sentiment. I was able to make 9 cards with one sheet of DSP! 

Happiest of Birthdays Card

 I wanted to use some random vellum I had. I found some CS that worked well with the colors in the vellum. It was nice because the CS didn't have to match perfectly- it's actually better that it didn't so all the colors would show through!  Colored Cardstock: 5 1/4 x 4 Vellum: 5 x 3 3/4 Then I attached ribbon to the front of the card and added the sentiment from the Charming Sentiments stamp set and some die cut candles from the Charming Sentiments dies.  It turned out to be a cute, easy card!

Love You Flowers Card

 I'm thinking this will make a nice Valentine's Day card. I used SU Real Red and white cardstock. The stamp set is CTMH Just Because. This was a simple layout- I used an embossing folder to give the white some visual interest and then used 1 inch wide red strip for the middle. I added Wink of Stella to the vase and flowers.
