Cardmaking Day

 

Had a stamping day with 4 friends and we each

brought a project to share.  I had two projects 

as it was at my house and kept them CAS but

 used techniques I had not tried before. This is the first one.

The background was done with painters tape pressed

 into different  ink pads, does not get  much easier than that!

 The stamp set is: just because, from Amuse.

Was a great day, lots of fun and inspiration! 

I will be posting the other projects so be sure to

check back!

Flowers for Karen

I sent this card to my niece Karen this week.  She is

battling lymphoma, so I thought a card a week would

be a small way I could help lift her spirits. This is Gina K's set A

 Year of Flowers, such a versatile set,  I've gotten a lot of use out of mine.

  There is a book you can purchase with or separate from the set

that has a card a month using this set with various techniques.

CAS Card

I saw a tutorial for how Danni does her CAS card on

her blog  http://dannisdreamscrafts.blogspot.com/

and couldn't wait to try it.  I made a dozen cards in

a little over an hour.  I just addressed three for cancer

patients and have nine ready to go.  Thanks Danni for

the wonderful tutorial!
