Carol thought this card would look good in pink and black, so we tried it.  We all liked it better!  What do you think?

{flowers}

It's been awhile since I've blogged.  Because, it's been awhile since I've made a card!  My friend, Carol, had us over for a stamp night to "beef up our card stashes".  Typically we have set cards ready to make but this was just come over, be creative, and pump them out.  I was super excited to carve out some craft time.  I left this card blank, but I think it would make a great sympathy card.


stamp: A Muse flower
ink:  some chocolate brown?

thank you

We received so many generous gifts and meals for our family and our new baby girl.  I wanted to make thank you's that were easy to reproduce.  I think I've posted a similar card before (I got the idea for the patterned crib mattress from one Roell girl or the other), but I switched this one up by folding a Memory Box card inside out to have white on the outside and a bunch of pink on the inside.  I learned that inside-out trick from Maureen.
 


stamp: A Muse crib; Papertrey Ink "thank you"
ink: VersaFine onyx black; Memento tuxedo black
other: Copic markers E44 & RV21

thank you

I completely stole this card from Deanna.  I just love the bright colors and the floral design together.  I couldn't quite pull it off like she did, but it is still a fun card.



stamp: Stampin Up! leaf & flower; Papertrey Ink "thank you"
ink: VersaFine onyx black; VersaColor opera pink

thank you

I made this card for a Thank You card pack that I sold awhile back.  The cards had to be simple, easy to reproduce, and be able to lay fairly flat (to fit together in the packaging).  A friend had given me a small sequin flower kit from Impress.  Even though the package was small it came with a ton of flowers and leaves!  It worked great with the little basket from Memory Box.



stamp: Memory Box basket; Savvy "thank you"
ink: VersaFine onyx black
other: sequin flowers; Liquid Pearls lemon yellow

thank you

I made this card for a Thank You card pack that I sold awhile back.  The cards had to be simple, easy to reproduce, and be able to lay fairly flat (to fit together in the packaging).  I stole this simple yet stunning card from Susan Raihala.



stamp: Papertrey flowers, stems, background words, & "thank you"
ink: VersaFine onyx black; Amuse grass; ColorBox orange

i can always count on you...

I made this card for a Thank You card pack that I sold awhile back.  The cards had to be simple, easy to reproduce, and be able to lay fairly flat (to fit together in the packaging).  I decided to remove the embellishments from this card to make it a bit faster.  I also fit it on an A2 card to go with the rest of the cards in the set.



stamp: A Muse wrenches & "I can always count..."
ink: A Muse grass, sky, & ocean; VersaFine onyx black

thank you

I made this card for a Thank You card pack that I sold awhile back.  The cards had to be simple, easy to reproduce, and be able to lay fairly flat (to fit together in the packaging).  This one is unadorned, but I find it quite striking.



stamp: Inkadinkadoo bicycle; Papertrey Ink "thank you"
ink: colored pencils

thanks

I made this card for a Thank You card pack that I sold awhile back.  The cards had to be simple, easy to reproduce, and be able to lay fairly flat (to fit together in the packaging).  Oranges and yellows aren't my typical colors, but I like them paired with the kraft here.


stamp: Papertrey Ink banner & "thanks"
ink: ColorBox frost white
other: Papertrey Ink die cut

happy birthday

I believe my friend Theresa made this card.  It's another card that I unearthed when I cleaned up my craft area.

papertrey december blog hop challenge

When I saw the Papertrey Ink challenge, I knew I wanted to participate.  To say I love white is an understatement, just look at our basement: 
 
 


I went for a clean card with a bit of texture.  I "whitewashed" some burlap and used a few punches.  I decided not to stamp a sentiment to keep it simple.
ink: ColorBox frost white
other: flower punches, leaf punch, burlap

delight in the joy of the season

This was made at our ladies card nights.  I'm partial to A2 cards, but I really like this long skinny card.

I found these photos on my computer and they were taken with a really old camera}

happy holidays

My feeble brain has completely forgotten where this card came from.  If I had to guess it was one of our ladies card nights, no matter what, I love the simplicity of it.

holiday cheer

I borrowed my friend Linda's stocking punch and a made a bunch of these cards one year, again, a long time ago.  The best was using fuzzy paper for the top of the stocking (white).
