Hugs

I'm a big fan of simple cards.

Too many techniques or techniques that are time consuming just don't appeal to me.

Today I want to share a card that I made using the new Lawn Fawn Hugs die. I stamped the background with Impression Obsession Cling Star Stamp and cut the die out of glitter paper. To ground the sentiment I cut some strips of black and teal and slanted them on the card.  Star sequins helped finish off the card.

Sorry for the lack of posts lately.  This week I said goodbye to Kira, my German Shepherd.  I had her for 12 years and she was the sweetest dog I've ever known.  She never met a person she didn't like and brought joy to my family's life.  She had bone cancer that was not responding to treatment and we knew it was time help ease her pain.  While it was so hard to say goodbye, I know she is in a better place and pain free.  I will miss her more than words can express.

I will be back next week with a new Little Tangles Challenge post. 

Do you like clean and simple cards or are you more of a technique heavy card maker?

Sweet Birthday Wishes

Hello everyone! This week I received my order from Lawn Fawn and couldn't wait to play with all my goodies! This weeks card used the Lawn Fawn Baked with Love stamp set and its coordinating die set.

I also made a cute envelope to send the card in using some spare cardstock I had on hand.

Birthdays Galore

Hello there! After checking my calendar I noticed there are lots of birthdays coming up so I got to work making a few cards.  Here are a few of the ones I've made recently.

For this card, I used the Tim Holtz mini blueprint balloon stamp.  I stamped the balloon on patterned paper and then cut them out by hand.  The card was run through an embossing folder after the sentiment was stamped.  I then grabbed some twine and created the strings for the balloons and a few bows.

This card uses the Lawn Fawn Four Year Four stamp set and coordinating dies.  I used Distress Ink in Faded Jeans to create the sky and just used a light swirling motion.  The grass was paper from the Avery Elle Sorbet collection 6x6 paper pad.

Thanks for stopping by!
