CAS Sympathy Card

CAS stands for clean and simple. That is what this card is. I made this sometime over the past few months. The stamp is by Fancy Pants and the sentiment is a rub on by DCWV. I just love this card for some reason. It just does it for me, you know?
You can purchase this card from my etsy store here.

Simple Christmas card. I really like the sentiment. It is a super old sentiment. One that my mom bought back in the mid-90's. The background paper is foiled and super shiny. And the flower and leaf are by Prima with some sparkles on them. You can find this in my etsy store here.

Fall Thank You - GRS Designers Challenge

The challenge this month for the GRS Design Team Challenge is to use this picture for inspiration and color and make a thank you card. How fun!

I love these earthy colors. I thought the sleigh from the Novembers Diner Club set would be perfect with these colors. I also knew I wanted to have leaves. I also added lots of distressing and paper piercing, plus some shimmer from the smooch spray on the background. Thanks for stopping by!

Vintage Family Picture Card

Lighting isn't great on this pic, sorry. That's how it goes somedays once we hit the winter, huh? Well another cute Stick Chick and her family! Pick up this cutie stamp at the Gourmet Rubber Stamp website.
I made the focal image vintage looking by using clear crackle over it and vintage photo distress ink over it. Plus some music paper for the background to continue with the vinatge-ness. Prima flowers with glitter and dew drop centers add some fun dimension and some green gems for accent along the scalloped trim.
And if you are interested, buy this card from my etsy shop!

Grandma Mini Book


I made this mini book with the help of my mom. It turned out lovely! The cover is 7gypsies, the diecuts and papers are My Mind's Eye (except some of the papers are unknown), and two of the rub-ons are Hambly. Lots of Tea Dye Distress ink all over the papers. You can buy this at my etsy shop here.
