You're the Best!!

Hello & Happy Saturday!

It's a sunny morning here in PA but I don't think it will last as they are calling for some rain to come thru later today bringing with it a cold front. Lots of things on the agenda today and hopefully one thing will be a bike ride.

I wanted to share a card I made for my hubby the other day.

He is my biggest fan and truthfully, I hardly ever make him cards, except for his birthday.

He does so much for me and I wanted him to know how much he is loved and VERY much appreciated.

Since I had the Watercolor Words set already out on my desk I decided to ink it up again. Sadly, this set is retiring and i've barely used it in the few months i've had it. It's one of those sets that will remain in my collection for along time (along with 1000 other stamp sets!). 

Card Details:

Stamps: Watercolor Words, Work of Art (inside saying "you")

Ink: Real Red, Basic Black

Cardstock: Real Red, Basic Black, Whisper White

Acccessories: Basic Black Taffeta Ribbon, Glue Dot, Real Red Enamel Heart, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

The bow was in my stash and for some reason I felt I needed to use it. In all honesty though, I think I could have done with out it! Oh well, still was a cute card and I think he liked it!

My thoughts today...

That is all for now!

Thanks for stopping by & have yourself a wonderful Saturday!

Thinking of You Card Set

Hello & Happy Friday!

Yesterday was a gorgeous day once the sun made an appearance!

Today is to be another award winning day filled with brilliant sunshine and temps in the 80's! 

I'll take it!

Today I have a set of cards to share that I whipped up using the Wetlands set.

I am loving the soft colors on this beachy type of card.

I'm sad that this set is retiring but I guess that really does not affect me since I am not a demo. 

This set will still see lots of ink well into the future!

Thinking of You Card Set:

Stamps: Wetlands, Work of Art

Ink: Crumb Cake, Soft Sky

Cardstock: Soft Sky, Crumb Cake, Whisper White

Accessories: Lg Oval & Scallop Oval Punches, Soft Sky 1/8 Taffeta Ribbon, Glue Dots, Tombo Mono Adhesive

I also incorporated the tearing technique into these. 

I have not done this in a very long time and just love the look it gives my cards!

Another plus for this set is that they will not cost extra in postage! Woohoo!

My thoughts today.....

Yep!

That's all for me today!

Thanks for stopping by & have a wonderful day!

Hello & Happy Thursday!

Hope your all having a great day so far!

I have a quick card to share today!

I made a card like this a few weeks ago. This time I tried it in Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie & Melon Mambo then I used the new Thick Melon Mambo Twine to tie a bow and finished it up with some rhinestones.

Work Of Art Butterfly

Hello & Happy Monday!

It sure is a hot one here in PA today! 

Thought about taking the bikes out for a ride this evening but we shall see.

I am really enjoying this new adventure and I can finally say that I have hit my first weight loss goal!

Anyways, today I had some time to get inky. I was running out of steam trying to finish up this card...probably a sign I was up way to early this morning!

I seen a card that caught my eye last week from Dawn Olchefski .

Here is my case of her beautiful card...

I switched up the colors and used a different sentiment. I really love the soft colors that Debbie used on hers but I was looking for a bolder look. I used Dapper Denim (new In Color), Emerald Envy (new In Color) & Rich Razzleberry. I used the Work Of Art stamp set for the colored swatches and then cut out the butterfly using the Butterfly Thinlits. Once the butterfly is cut out, adhere your stamped piece or negative on your cardbase then put Tombow Liquid glue on the butterfly diecut but just in the midsection. You do NOT want to glue the entire butterfly down. I fluffed up the wings and added some small white pearls to finish it.

Diecut Butterfly Card:

Stamps: Sassy Salutations (retired), Work of Art

Ink: Dapper Denim, Emerald Envy, Rich Razzleberry

Cardstock: Whisper White

Accessories< Butterfly Thinlits, Small White Pearls, Tombow Liquid Glue

Those ink swatches really make a pretty colorful card!

********************

I couldn't agree more!

Happy Monday, friends!

Thanks for stopping by & have a terrific day!
