Simple Sweet Stems

Today's offering is one I'm calling Simple Sweet Stems because that is exactly what it is! Simple and Sweet. I saw one like this on SCS and knew I had to make one. I actually made one in all 6 of the 2008/2009 InColor inks and they all turned out beautifully. The Pacific Point and the Tangerine Tango were the prettiest though because of that gorgeous stripped grosgrain ribbon it is just beautiful stuff! I think these will make fast and wonderful gifts for wedding showers and birthdays as gifts, so handy to have on hand for them to jot a quick note or thank you to someone. Well that was my inspiration, now here are the details.

Card Details:

• Card Size 5-1/2 X 4-1/4, top open
• Stamp Set - Sweet Stems, Hugs & Wishes
• Paper - Tangerine Tango, Whisper White

Now this card is so fun and simple everyone can do it. Don't' forget to call or email me to get your own supplies to make this great card. Thanks for stopping by. See you soon!

Owl Party

My Upline Jaycene Morgan loaned me the Owl Together Now stamp set. This is one of the cards I came up with using the set. It turned out pretty cute and worked well for a challenge offered up by the LateNightStampers group.
I stumbled upon this card layout on SCS but I'm sorry I don't remember who the original poster was, but thank you just the same for the inspiration! (Post note! As it would turn out the original poster was on one of the groups I posted to and contacted me so I now know who to thank for this great card, it was Fran Sabad, thank you so much Fran!!) I think these Window Frame type cards are just so cute. I can just picture this cute little owl setting outside my window, however if he did that it would cause my dogs to have a stroke trying to get to him :-(



Another thing I got to use on this card that is really fun is the masking technique. I used that on the sun. It's just a simple process of coloring in the negative areas of a punch or something cut out, very easy but lots of fun. Well the card info is listed below, thanks so much for stopping by for a look.
