Thankful Garden

Today's card is another one of this week's Cards in the Mail.  If you haven't checked out the Lovely Garden Designer Series Paper, you really should.  It has some awesome flower designs, just right for spring.

This is a layout that I use frequently, but with different paper and sentiments it works well and looks completely different.  You might notice the small white strip at the top and bottom of the center stripe.  I must have miscut both my designer paper and the Garden Green.  Rather than waste both of those I decided to go ahead and use it and just leave a little white peeking out at the top and bottom.  As I have always said, "there are no mistakes in stamping" . . . just chances for embellishment.

Today is appointment day . . . I have one this morning and John has one late this afternoon.  Not much chance to do anything in between, but too much time to waste in Iowa City, so it will be a two trip day!!

Every day is a gift . . . make the most of the gift you have been given today!!

Happy Stamping!!

Beautiful Butterflies

The "Happy Birthday" sentiment from the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set is the perfect size and font for many cards.  I know I have certainly used it a lot.

This card uses one of the die-cuts from the Wildflower Specialty Designer Series Paper.  There are several large die cuts that will work perfectly for a card . . . these balloons, some cakes, and a couple of bouquets of flowers.  Add them to a card front or a piece of embossed cardstock, add a sentiment and some embellishments and you have a beautiful handmade card to send to someone.

Today is going to be what I used to call a "ketchup and mustard" day when I taight first grade.  I hope to "ketchup" on a lot of things that are only half done.  Wish me luck!

Every day is a gift . . . make the most of the gift you have been given today!!

Happy Stamping!!

Beautiful Butterflies

Today's card is another one from the butterfly set that I made at the Sister's Stamping Weekend in March.  It uses the same supplies as the other card that you can see here.  If you make all four of these cards it would make an awesome gift for someone.

Once again I started with a Daffodil Delight card bae and layered it with Basic White, Daffodil Delight and a piece of designer series paper.  The buttrfly is stamped with Daffodil Delight and the sentiment with Momento Black (which at the moment is on backorder.). The Low Profile Dots, which have become a favorite, are used as embellishments.  The ties of the bow are wrapped around the sentiment piece so just the bow is in the middle of the ribbon.

. 

What a yucky day!!  I have some errands I need to run and am hoping if I wait till afternoon the weather will be a little nicer . . . or at least not raining.  Until then I guess I will work on some stuff I have been putting off for a while and see if I can get it all done.

Every day is a gift . . . make the most of the gift you have been given today!!

Happy Stamping!!
