Clean and Simple

This card is one of my favorites! It is clean and simple and very easy to mass produce. I saw this card somewhere over a year ago, so I don't know who to give credit to. Sorry! I have re-made this card for various occasions. It has been a sympathy card, a manly birthday card, a thank you card, etc. 

The base of the card is Sahara Sand. Layered on top of that is Basic Black and then Very Vanilla. I stamped the Medallion image using Sahara Sand ink. I used a small black brad in the center and the Level 1 Hostess stamp set Afterthoughts. I think this card would be very pretty in many different color combinations also. TFL!

On a side note: Way to go Butler Bulldogs!! Great game tonight!  :)

Posting Problems

I have been wanting to post a couple of MDS pages that I have done, but for some reason, I cannot get them to upload.  :(  I will continue to work on that. Looks like we'll be spending a lot of time indoors again!  :(  We are forecast to get 1 - 3 inches of snow tomorrow night! UGH! Earlier in the week it was sunny and in the upper 70's! I want that weather back! 

Since it is SO cold again, here is a Valentine card that I made.

I used scraps again of Real Red and Pretty In Pink. Most of the paper is from the Filled With Love bundle that was available in February. I also used: Heart to Heart punch, Jewelry Tag punch, Tiny Tags stamp set, hemp twine, and the Tasteful Trim die (was available in the Holiday Mini, but has been carried over!). I LOVE this die!

Stamping 411 Sketches

Happy Tuesday all! My up-up line holds a monthly downline meeting that is always full of fun and information. Every month we are presented with a challenge to help us stretch our creativity and/or promote our business. This month our challenge was to participate in two creative challenges. I just LOVE sketches, so I decided to follow a couple of sketches posted on the Stamping 411 blog.

Here is the first sketch that I used:

And........here is the card I created:

The second sketch I used also came from the Stamping 411 blog. Here is the sketch:

Here is the card I created from this sketch:



I hope you like my interpretation of these sketches! Thanks for looking!

Thank you Coaches!

I posted a couple of days ago that my son had been playing a lot of basketball, which he loves! We are very blessed to have a couple of great coaches, so I wanted to make them a card to thank them for all of their hard work and patience this season.

This card uses Pumpkin Pie, Whisper White, and Basic Black. I used the retired stamp set Just Basketball to create the 'background paper'. I used dimensionals to 'pop up' the net. The sentiment was stamped with the So Happy for You stamp set from the SAB catalog.

I hope they like their cards!

Very Vintage?

Long time no 'see'! I am sorry that it has been so long since I last posted! We have been very busy the past month with basketball. My son has been playing basketball; I think they played 18 games in the month of February. WHEW!

Anywho, here is a card I created for a birthday. It was an attempt at a vintage style card. Not sure if I got there but.........I really like the card!



This card uses the stamp set Notably Ornate; Soft Suede, Very Vanilla, and Perfect Plum cardstock. I also used some Chantilly Crochet Trim and an Antique Brad. Let me know if I 'hit' the vintage look. TFL!
