While working this weekend I got to play with a couple dies that were in my stash.  I put together this simple card with the tiniest of birdies to finish the look in my tree.  Credit goes to Lisa N for helping me with the Copic coloring on this one. Now we have little blue birds.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

Materials:

     Paper: Paper Cut cardstock

Die-Namics "Chevron Die"

Memory Box "Fabulous Phlox"

Dylusions "Bubblegum Pink" 

Stamps: Tim Holtz "Simple Sentiments" and Kaiser Craft

Such an easy little card right?  Yes, it is.  All cardstock, a few dies and stamps and a little time is all you need to create a pretty little card for any occasion.  After cutting out all my flowers I "painted" on the spray ink and then assembled my pieces on the card front.  Want to learn more about how I did it?  I will be putting together a class soon.

CANDi

I like CANDi, do you?  Those fun little brad looking circles in the middles of all those fun flowers are CANDi.  They are made of paper and are so easy to work with.

     Paper: CORE'dinations
     American Crafts
     Paper Cut cardstock

This is a simple card using just some stripes of patterned paper and the flowers...plus those cute little CANDi dots!

Dainty Bow Die from My Favorite Things

You could call this a clean and simple card.  No stamping and minimal embellishments.

Materials:
     Paper: Paper Cut cardstock
CANDi dots
Dainty Bow die from My Favorite Things (Die-Namics)
Memory Box "Fabulous Phlox"

This card would make a cute Prom invite and a fun wedding card.  I got this idea HERE while surfing through Pinterest.  Darn Pinterest and all the time is takes from my day.....heehee, sometimes it's a time waster, but I do get some great ideas and awesome recipes!

Memory Box "Party Glasses"

Materials:
     Paper Cut cardstock
Die: Memory Box "Party Glasses"
Stamp: Lawn Fawn "Interlocking Backdrop"
Sticker: Jillibean Soup
COPIC markers!
Ink: Memento "Tuxedo Black"
Pop-Dots
Corner Rounder

I liked this die from Memory Box with the cocktail glasses but the images are really small so I decided to just cut out the image and use the negative.  I will have to find something to do with those tiny little cocktails.  Just an FYI, the sticker under the glasses is covering up the stamped sentiment that got smudged after all the coloring and pop-dot placement...simple fix, cover it up with an appropriate sticker!

Tim Holtz Simple Sentiments

This one is using the Lawn Fawn Interlocking background stamp and my Tim Holtz Simple Sentiments  set.  I have a hard time with clean and simple cards but i tried really hard to keep this one simple.

Materials:
     Paper Cut and WorldWin cardstock
Eyelets: Making Memories
Stamps: Tim Holtz Simple Sentiments and Lawn Fawn "Interlocking Backdrops"
Ink: Tim Holtz Distress Ink "Mowed Lawn" and "Peacock Feathers"

I like this particular stamp from the backdrops set from Lawn Fawn.  The other ones are a brick design and little hexagons.  The sprinkle of eyelets are there to use up the MASSIVE stash of eyelets I have.  Do you still have eyelets and do you use them?? I have been trying to use up some lately and enjoy just "sprinkling" them on a card front.

Lawn Fawn Interlocking Backgdrop stamp

Good sunshiney morning to you!  I am so glad the sun is up so early and, well, that it is visible and the snow is melting, again.  The last of that big snowstorm from Thursday is almost gone.  We got around 9 inches of thick and heavy snow out here on the farm and the only thing left is the small piles from having to plow out for our vehicles and the piles that fall off our metal roof.  Ah spring, can you feel it?

Stamp: Lawn Fawn "Interlocking Backdrop"
Ink: Tim Holtz Distress Ink "Picked Raspberry"
CANDi dots
Die: Elizabeth Crafts "Happy Birthday"
        My Favorite Things "Western Star" (bubble looking border)

I have a new toy and I used it on a few cards last night while enjoying the sunshine and fresh air through my window after work yesterday.  I have had my eye on that stamp since it came in and I finally decided it was time to get it.  I love it!  Stay tuned the rest of this week for the other ones I made with this stamp set.

We love CANDi....yeah, who doesn't right?  Wait, do you know what CANDi is?  Well, CANDi is those cute little dots in the middle of the flowers. They come in fantastic colors combos and work with a whole host of applications....like flower centers.  We have made cool flowers out of them too.  You'll have to stop by the store to see more samples with these fun little dots.
