Just Because


Hello and Happy Wednesday...are we really already half way through another week???
I used one of my favorite techniques, random stamping on this card. I used the Connections stamp set and the following ink to do my random stamping: Tulip/Creme Bruele/Sorbet.
I also added a few Die cuts and added sparkles to them.
The sentiment is from the Fringed Phrases stamp set, and is stamped in Tulip ink.
I used Tulip and Sorbet cardstock and patterned Creme Bruele paper.

Thanks for looking!

A simple Happy Anniversary Card

Okay so here is a super easy peasy Happy Anniversary card. 
The flowers are from the Heart Felt Whimsy Die-Cuts. I just layered them and added some sparkles. I used a couple of glue dots to adhere them. 
The senitment stamp is from the set "Say It In Style", with Tulip ink
I used buttercup/tulip and garden green cardstock. 
I scored some lines with my stylus and paper trimmer on the garden green cardstock piece and then lightly sanded it to reveal the white core beneath. 
The bracket is also a felt die cut
The tag is a Clear Inspirations Acrylic Accent adhered with a glue dot and I also added a sparkle. Easy. :O)

Thanks for looking,

Congratulations!

I made this pretty card using my favorite CTMH colors....Creme Bruele and Sorbet. 
The flowers are CTMH Botanical Fancy Cuts ..aren't they just so cute??? I love these die cuts. 
They come on sheets and you simply push them out. You get three sheets, each different colors for $4.95.  So economical!



I used Sorbet and Creme Bruele cardstock and a piece of patterned Creme Bruele from the Bella reflections collection. I stamped the Congrats sentiment from the Fringed Phrases stamp set in Sorbet. The ribbon is Creme Bruele. 

Thanks for looking and have a super fab Saturday!

It's a Zoo around here!



Here is another card using paper from The My Reflections Animal Cookies Collection. I just LOVE this paper packet-it's my favorite this summer!
Here are the complete details for my card:
Colors: Desert Sand/Tulip/Clover Meadow/Dutch Blue/Tulip/Sunflower
Stamp Sets: It's a Zoo/Comments/Connections
I used the Comments stamp set to make the little lined paper piece and then I used two stamps from the Connections set and random stamped. 
The Connections stamp set is awesome for random stamping! It has several different sizes and shapes...perfect for creating your own patterned paper!
I also used three sparkles and a retired Clover Meadow Spiral.
I cut one of the Connections Club rhinestone frames in half as well....isn't it pretty?  

The fancy shaped squares were cut using my sizzix and nestibilities from spellbinders.

Thanks...You're The Best!

Finally I steal a few minutes in my scrap room so I can post a card! 
I decided to do some random stamping...which I really love doing. :o)
When I random stamp I stamp my images in triangles and I rotate my paper frequently....random stamping is actually not very random at all, but when done right looks very random! lol


Here is today's card details:
Colors: Tulip/Lilac Mist/Cocoa
Stamp Sets: Thank you, Connections
I also used sparkles and Tulip brads, and Crocheted flowers from the Daisy White 
Mini-Medley collection 

Thank you for looking and have a great Thursday!
