Where Flowers Bloom

 

 

I had fun making this card (of course I always have fun

stamping and creating)!  Cardstock is from Amuse. Stamps

are from Verve.  I double stamped the fern without

reinking. I'm not sure you can tell but the flower I hand

curled the petals up and used a large pop dot to give the

flower dimension.

Celebration Penguin

 

Isn't this penguin just too adorable?  He/she is from 2 Cute Ink

and I could not wait to create a card with him.  He is a free digi

 until April 26  for 5000 likes on Facebook.  He was fun to

color with my Copics. I did a flap fold card for variety using Bazzil

cardstock,My Mind's Eye- Hootenanny

paper, and ribbon from Michael's.

Love is sweet

This sweet little image is from Meljen's Designs.  I needed

a couple anniversary cards and this image made up

nicely.  I used my Copics, BoBunny Ad Lib paper

collection, Spellbinders standard circles large,

Amuse heart dies, and open hearts is an EK

Success punch. Below is the anniversary card I

made for my dear husband for our 34th this past

Friday. It followed last weeks Sketch Saturdays as

my Mojo is just missing these last few days (and

I really liked the sketch.)

For a friend

A dear friend is making a retreat this w/e and  during

the retreat you received cards from family and friends

that tell you how much you they care about you etc. 

This is the card I made for my friend, Pat.  We both

like purple so the color choice was easy.  The stamp

is Cross & Blossoms by Paper Inspirations and is

a go to for many occasions. Die cut is by Dienamics-

Open scallop doily, and butterfly is a punch.  Papers by

Bazzill.  Embellishments from my stash.  I hope Pat has

 a wonderful retreat and comes home spiritually renewed.

 



Hippity Hop

This little bunny is from Northwoods, and the saying has

been in my collection forever- Compressive Stamps, Inc. 

Papers are are Mary Engelbright, and some old Maybelle

RO papers I have in my stash.  Yes, I know it is similar to

last weeks Sketch Saturday, but this is for week 5 so you

could use any sketch and I used variations of this one for  a

 few of my Easter cards, I thought it turned out bright and

cheery like Easter is.

Springtime Bunny

 

This cute little bunny is a Hero Arts stamp I have had

in my collection for ages.  He is always fun to create with.

I used Mary Englebright  flowered papers, and some pink

Maybelle RO papers from my stash. And of course my

Copics.  We had snow flurries today, but this card reminds me

 that the warm weather  really is coming!
