A Window unto Summer

Posted on February 10, 2014September 15, 2015 by Mama

Simple Stories’ Summer Fresh 6×6 paper pack was the perfect pallet for Sunday’s Operation Write Home window sketch challenge. I mean, what says summer like red gingham and flowers? This little card makes me want to picnic (now if the foot of snow would go away, we might be talking).

The flower shape is punched into the top layer so that the blue layer peeks out from behind the window, and a yellow do-dad adds the finishing touch. As usual, I inked all the paper edges; plus I added some faux stitching to one layer for a bit more detail.

Playing Along with the Valentine Challenge

Posted on February 3, 2014February 18, 2016 by Mama

Of course I had to play along with the first Mail It Monday card challenge. And since my husband and I have deemed February as our no-spend month, this cute little creation just might go to him for Valentine’s Day.

I used black cardstock and some heart-themed paper that I’ve had in my stash for a few years to create this quick card. I also used a border punch on another scrap piece of paper, and inked everything in black. The red shape and the “Be Mine” stamp are both from Sizzix’s Framelits — I picked them up at Archiver’s going-out-of-business sale the other day. Score! I added a coordinating heart brad and raised all the red with 3D glue dots.

This Valentine challenge card was really easy, but the simple pops of deep red really pull in the eye. Oh, I also lined the card with white paper, so that I will have a place to write all my sweet nothings to my husband.

Bee Sweet Little Gal

Posted on February 1, 2014September 15, 2015 by Mama

Cards for kids was the call of this week’s Operation Write Home Midweek Challenge, so I dug through my embellishments and found some cute little bees that were just begging to be freed. . . and of course, I just happen to have some new bee-themed paper that needed a home. Add some punched shapes, yellow Glimmer Mist, some brown ink and an orange rhinestone and I had a very simple card for someone’s little gal.
