Hello Friend


This boot is from the happy you hostess set. I made the flower matting using the 1 3/8" circle, the 1 3/4" scallop, the fancy flower, and the 2 3/8" scallop punches. I stamped the wonderfully worn background stamp in white on the early espresso cardstock then embossed with the polka dots. The hello is from the tiny tags set and punched with the jewelry tag. Simple and fun!

Triple Time Leaves

I have definitely worn out this triple time stamping technique. This card is similar to a previous post using this french foliage set, only it was on white background with a fancier ribbon :)

This also is a card for the Hayden library class. I am going to have quite a few beginners, and this is an easy but stunning technique to teach.

ink: cajun craze, always artichoke, soft suede, melon mambo
cardstock: white, sahara sand, brown for matting (not SU)

Birthday Drive By

This card is for my sweet son's 22nd birthday. I don't know why after all these years, it is still hard for me to come up with a "mancard". It was so tempting for me to add ribbon but I exercised self-control :)

I used the retired loads of love set for the truck, and the birthday sentiment is from happiest birthday wishes.  I used the square lattice embossing folder after stamping the wood grain. Colors used: crumb cake, basic gray, baja breeze, whisper white.
