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 it was one of the colors in Raspberry Tart. This Embosslits (Simple Flower) is turning… Read More »

Today's card is for SCS Limited Supplies Challenge LSC213 which is to use only black and white. I thought that the Manhattan Flower textured impressions would be perfect for this challenge. I used whisper white to emboss the flower and then cut it out along one of the edges. The sentiment is stamped on Black Linen Textured card stock. I used White craft ink and then heat embossed using White… Read More »

This card was so much to make. I saw the paper at Hobby Lobby a couple of weeks ago and bought some not knowing how I was going to use it but I had to have it (KWIM?). I took it out this morning and thought that a silhouette would be perfect for it. If I had the SU stamp set Silhouettes (retired), I would have used it but alias I… Read More »
Today's card is for kwernerdesignblog challenge which is to use the colors Chocolate Chip, Tangerine Tango, White and So Saffron. The technique I used to color the image is called rock n roll. I first stamped in So Saffron and then rolled the stamp (edges) over the Tangerine Tango. The ribbon is a gift from Sam (one of my blogging buddies). Thanks Sam!

I think I will add a new category called "Simple Cards". That way if you are ever looking for inspirations for quick and simple cards, you can use the search bar to find these cards.

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 same Purple Majesty paper.

Isn't this heart charm pretty? It was originally a label pin and is made by 1928 jewelery. Before I go into the card, I thought I would share a story with you. In the early 90's, I bought a long wool coat and it was in the color Eggplant. The style then was to wear label pins on your coat and the coat was from The Limited. Anyhoo, I lived in… Read More »
