  • Simple Flower

      Today's card is using the Simple Flower Sizzix Embosslits and Sizzlits Little Leaves.  I am using Cameo Coral with Raspberry Tart Designer Series Paper.   It turned out a lot better than I thought it would.  Cameo Coral is not a favorite of mine (I've used it perhaps twice since it first came out) but…

  • Manhattan Flower

    Happy Everything

    Need a masculine card?  Here's a simple one with the only stamping on it is the sentiment.  It took me perhaps 10-15 minutes to make it.  I like those kind of days! I think I will add a new category called "Simple Cards".  That way if you are ever looking for inspirations for quick and…

  • Little Piano Girl

      This stamp is from The Saturday Evening Post Series at Cornish Heritage Farms.  It's called Little Piano Girl.  The gorgeous paper is from Webster's Pages and is called Purple Majesty.  I messed up on coloring the little gir's dress so I thought I would cover my mistake by paper piecing her dress using the…
