Another Berry Basket--this one full of 3x3 cards and envelopes. I lined the basket with Designer Series Paper (DSP) by cutting 2 extra basket pieces from the (now retired) Sale-a-bration Best Year Ever DSP.

3x3 cards are really fun to make. Here are two from this set. I'll show the others in the next few days.

Seeing Stars from the Autumn Card Buffet!

I think this is my favorite card from next month's Card Buffet! It features some products from the new (live today!) Holiday Catalog, such as the Star Confetti Punch and the Lucky Stars Embossing Folder. This makes a great card for a birthday, a love note, or an encouraging note for a friend.

June Thank You Cards

This was my June thank you card for anyone who placed an order. I love the Hardwood background stamp paired with feminine or floral images! The tiny pearls are colored with the lightest Rich Razzleberry Blendability marker, as are the ears and nose on the cute little mouse.

Thank you to all who keep my business running!

You're how old???

I couldn't send this card to just anyone--although my  younger siblings might be on the receiving end of one. :-) And it works well for those milestone kid birthdays! I just really like how this card came together. The colors please me, and the simplicity pleases me. Have a great Wednesday!

Graduated technique

It's that time of year--do you have cards made for your favorite graduates?

This was our technique card for May's Stamp Club. We started out with the splatter technique--use a sponge dauber to add streaks of color to white cardstock, then add "splatters" by dripping water on the colors--and then used a Word Bubble Framelit as a stamp and embossed it!

It kind of looks like we cried on our cards. :-)

Honeycomb You're the Best

Need a male teacher gift? or how about a Father's Day card? You're in luck! We made this fun card at May's Club meeting. Stamp the raccoon from Life in the Forest on Basic Gray cardstock in black ink. Use the white gel pen to add accents, then cut out. The greeting is from the set Just Sayin'.
