American Heritage Girl Card Making Event

I had the privilege of sharing with 24 girls from the Gilbert American Heritage Girls troop about papercrafting. What a fun, polite and enthusiastic group of girls! 

They each stamped, punched and embossed to create the card below.

A big thank you to all the girls and the leaders for inviting me to share with all of you!

So Very Grateful Mother's Day

Here’s another one of my favorite stamp sets, So Very Grateful, which yes, has also been retired. It’s such a cute set, and another great one for watercoloring. I did notice in the hostess section of the new 2014-15 SU catalog that there is a similar set called I Like You.

I had fun creating my own curved digital sentiment using a cute Google font called "Butterfly Kids" that looks like handwriting. I stamped my floral image using Stazon black and watercolored the flowers and leaves onto Whisper White CS and fussy-cut them, so that they could be dimensionalled onto the card front. I used my blender pen and reinkers for coloring, using Crisp Cantaloupe and Pool Party for the flowers, Pistachio Pudding for the leaves and Summer Starfruit for floral centers.

Thank you for taking time to stop by!

A Happy Birthday CASE

If you were fortunate enough to earn one of this year's SAB Petal Parade stamp sets, then here's a fun and easy card design for you to use. I CASE'd this great card from Ilina Crouse. (Yes, I have been case'ing more than I used to, since I don't have as much time to sit down and design. When you're short on time and you need to make a card, there are some great card designs out there!)

I love celebrating birthdays with fun cards and this one definitely looks happy and festive and doesn't take much time to make.

So glad that you stopped by!!

(there's too many fun promos to list them all here)

Here's a quick card I made for an upcoming birthday. To get the mojo going, I played along with this week's Featured Stamper Challenge at SCS. This week's Featured Stamper is Colleen Dietrich.

This was my first time using my pinwheel sizzlit. What a fun and easy embellishment it makes. My daughter, Adriel, had been noticing a sequins trend on cards, so I added some fun sequins to this already cheery card. They added the perfect pizzazz.

Supply Summary: Whisper White CS, Pear Pizzazz CS, Tangerine Tango CS, Summer Smooches DSP, Wire (for pinwheel handle), sequins, From My Heart SS, Scallop Edge punch, Square Lattice EB folder

Thanks for stopping by and looking!
