Cards Galore

In the midst of my move, I've found minutes here and there to squeeze cardmaking in.
It's been a great outlet for my frustrations and stress levels in the midst of this move.
Here are some of my creations over the past few months:

This card is much more sparkly in person. Crystal effects+glitter=shiny, sparkly effects. The stamp set and paper set match...I love that!


This shows a little more of the "matching paper" to the stamp set above.
Stampin' Up! just got the full heart punch too...and I wanted to play with that.

This was the card I gave my girls on Valentine's Day.

I had a friend (Rachelle Allen) ask if we could make cards for our kids that week, and I was happy to oblige.

I really needed a day "off" just to decompress.

This was the card that my boys got on Valentine's Day.

This card shows a "texturz plate" run through the Big Shot die-cutting machine.

The roses are raised...not stamped, and then run through ink.

It's very cool to see in person, and even looks really good without ink on it.

I LOVE these little corduroy buttons.

There is a faint pink stamped all over the white...even when you see it in person it's a subtle effect.

I opened a "Simply Sent" card kit that come with everything you need to make 9 cards...it was fun to pump out a lot of cards all in one sitting.

I finished making the cards I had left from this "Simply Sent" card kit I had opened and used part of before.
This little brad in the corner is what I wanted to show on this card.

I love this quote too.

It reminds me of my dear friend Susan who always said, "Life too short. Don't wait to...."

Now that she's passed away, I work hard to make sure I'm enjoying the present.

This card uses the new eyelet border punch...which I love.

Pat got a card like this on Valentine's day.

I'll be back again soon with a non-card blog, and in the future, I'll put my cards on my stamping blog.

See you around!
