Betsy's Blossom

Hi everyone!  I wanted to show you another card that I made using bits and pieces that I had laying about on my craft table.  I used a new embossing folder for another card but didn't like the way the card was going, so I just laid it off to the side, same goes for the bird shape and the punched out piece behind it.  I used my color coach to give me a guide and this is what I came up with.  Not the greatest but certainly not the worse either, lol.  You just never know what you will come up with sometimes.

Stippled Blossoms

Hi everyone, I hope you are having a great Wednesday, I am!
Today I want to share a card that I found over on the demonstrators website called Stampin Connection.  Well I can't link you to that card but I did go blog surfing and found the original creators blog so that I could share her card with you!  HERE is the link to her card, just scroll down a wee bit to see it.  Isn't it beautiful!  Oh I was so glad that I put that stamp set on my last order.  Now I didn't use the same colors as hers, I didn't have them, so I used what I had on hand.  I just love how well it turned out and it is using the Triple Time Technique that is so hot right now!  You can see how different it is from the one I made earlier this month HERE.  Then I decided to make one for a birthday that I need a card for

I think my friend will enjoy receiving this one!

Good Monday morning to all of you!  I hope you all had a great week-end and got to do lots of fun things!

Today I want to share with you the swap card that I mailed off to my three new friends from convention, Patti, Anne and Caron, Hi ladies!!  We decided at convention to do a monthly swap on the 15th of each month and this was the card that I made.  I found a card over on My Creative Corner! just like this one, you can see it HERE  As you can see I did mine just a tad different then the one Wanda made.  It is a bright and cheery card, I like it.  I'm still trying to get the hand on using those little embossing folders so that they don't leave a crease, one day I will get it right!

Convention Make & Take Card

Well, can you all stand to see another item from convention?  Can you tell I had fun?  I promise this should be the last one, lol!

This is one of the stamp sets that we received from convention this year.  Now when I got this kit, I was not impressed with the picture of it, but after making it and seeing it in real life and it a very nice, easy and simple card and best of all, it wouldn't or shouldn't need any extra postage to mail!  I stamped the back flap of the envelope with the winged heart too.

Nature's Walk Thinking of You Card

Hi, I bet you think I posted this card twice don't you!  Well, I had some extra stamped fronts from the swaps I made and needed to make a quick thinking of you card, so for this one I added a few little extras to the front.  I embossed one side with one of the new Delicate Designs folders, then I added a few rhinestones and some 1/8" Pretty In Pink taffeta ribbon.  I probably should have used some wider ribbon but just didn't think of it at the time.  I'm sending this to one of my high school friends who has alot of health issues at this time, hope it cheered her up some!
