My co-workers grandmother passed and I wanted a clean and simple card to send. It seems that I never have any pre-made cards when I need them.
So to make sure I don't fall short of any cards, I have vowed (to myself) to begin making two of every card that I post. One for the recipient, the other to keep. For cards that are gender related, I will make one feminine and the other masculine.
Lately my design styles have been in a very simplistic kind of way. With this card, although I want to add more, I am satisfied with the cleanness of this design.
Maybe my next design I will add a few more deets and one or two more flowers. Although the picture doesn't capture it, a tiny squeeze of stickles was added to the center of each flower.
I cased the layout from a member at SCS but added a different twist of my own.
Stamps: best blossoms & PTI (sentiment)
Paper: PTI berry, SU white and black
Ink: PTI berry, SU black and Green
Accessories: Stickles

This layout is for SC178. My goal each week is to stamp one card and post. Instead of waiting for my Cuttlebug swiss dot folder to arrive I improvised. I stamped houndstooth background in craft white to soften the aqua paper and to add texture to the card.
I used my cuttlebug folder, tied the charm with ribbon and then popped it up using SU glue dots. There are a lot of soft details which is hard to see in the photo but very lovely IRL!
Thanks for stopping by...

I finally received my first set of Papertrey Ink stamps (yeah!) and immediately thought of trying Zindorfs' technique (http://zindorf.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com) for SU's inspiration challenge and what do you think?! I must confess. I am hooked with the technique! In real life, the card is stunning.

I decided to make a gate folded card for my daughters graduation announcement. The finished card measures 5x5. I think I like the way this card turned out. Now only if I can find a envelope to fit.
All the papers I got at Michaels. The black is similar in texture to bazzill, as is the orange and the white cs has a nice shimmer which can not be seen. The cap and letters are of foam rubber which has a nice sparkle effect.
Stamps: none |
Paper: black, orange and shimmery white |
Ink: none |
Accessories: Puffed glittery graduation stickers |

This is the inside which I love. My daughter is so photogenic if I must say so myself!
