Sending Love and Sympathy

I sure seem to be into loving the butterflies lately.  Here's another card with the same layout as "above & beyond" but with softer color and a Sympathy theme.

The ribbon here is just so pretty and is part of the free selections from Sale-a-Bration (which will be ending very soon - March 22nd), so don't miss out on receiving some of this beautiful ribbon.

Irish Wedding Owls

Somehow I almost put this one off too long!  Yikes!  My boss at the office needed a wedding card for a couple getting married on St. Patrick's Day and she like the owl cards so well for the Grandkids, that she wanted the wedding one to be similar.

So, here it is!  I like how it turned out!  The boy owl's eyes look a little dippy at the time of the picture... hope his real wedding pictures don't look like that!  LOL

above & beyond... that's where you always seem to go!  thanks so much!

From another of my favorite stamp sets - One in a Million.  Don't you just love when a stamp set works inside as well as outside?  This is one of those sets.  Perfect words for the cover of the card and the perfect words to go inside.

Quick and Easy Cards

Here are several Quick and Easy Cards I made last week.  There are a couple of styles, but I can't decide which is my favorite style.  The first one you see only has color under the butterfly and I spotted (no pun intended) it on the Stampin' Pretty Blog by Mary Fish.

However, after showing it around a bit, we thought it needed some more color, so I took the Polka Dot Parade DSP (126902) and put it under as a mat.  I have to say, I think I like it much better that way.

Then I thought I'd try it with a different DSP behind and found this cute little pattern in the Print Poetry DSP Stack (129312) and then used the Primrose Petals card stock for the mat.  I really like the last one best with the Large Pearl Basic Jewels (125577).

Welcome Baby

I just realized I didn't have a post for Friday, guess I spent more time preparing for my Friday Stamp-a-Stack than I thought!  Sorry kids!  

So, after Stamp-a-Stack on Friday, Linda stayed around for a bit and helped me with some cards for my "card project" I'm working on.  She made 2 for boys and 2 for girls.  I think they are both adorable.  Tell me what you think.  As I see cards I want to CASE I save them for creative time and these two cards were really very quick and simple to do.  These were from Marla Reed.  Thanks Marla for the great idea!

Thanks Linda for staying, it was fun spending stamping time together and getting some great cards created!

St. Patrick's Owl Punch Art

Here is my version of this cute card for St. Patrick's Day Owls.  My boss wanted a card for her nephew and her neice so of course I had to make a boy owl and a girl owl!

I really like how they came out, even if the ribbon was a bit of a challenge!

I made the card base using the Card Base Pop 'n Cuts Die (130099).  It's a great die for making any card base and the edges tuck in at the bottom. 

To make the little "skirt" I took the 3/8" Stitched Satin in Gumball Green and tied a knot in one end and then carefully pulled out one of the white strips and gently gathered up the stitching on the ribbon to give it a ruffled look.  I then used our red sticky tape on the owl and folded the end in and placed it on the sticky tape.  Cut the knot off teh other end and carefully fold that end under and stick it down as well.
