While I was cleaning my craft area, I decided to make a few cards, with the supplies that were out.  They are one stamp to mail kind of cards.  I used Lawn Fawn stamps on both cards, and snuck in a little bit of the Bright Side 6x6 pattern paper, on the first one. On the second card, I colored in the balloons with Copic markers, in shades of orange and red.  Red is a good birthday color (to me anyhow).   It was nice to use these stamp sets, I'm sure they were feeling a little neglected.  Revisiting older sets, sometimes makes them feel new again.

Happy Monday!  Monday's are so hard for me, to start moving after a relaxing weekend.  But, here we are, so I guess I will start it with a pretty card. I did a little die cutting, some stamping, a little coloring and paper piecing...and of course a pretty bow.  The image and sentiment, are both from the March stamp set from Avocado Arts , called Wishes and Kind Thoughts. A few other fine ladies have created something special with this set as well, so hop on over to their blogs.

Here is a fun card, perfect for the stud muffin in your life (ha ha ha), that sentiment and image combined gives me serious giggles.  I'm thinking, I might leave it in my husbands car one day, so he will find it on his way to work.  Something cute like that, would make is day a little better. For this card I used a few different Lawn Fawn stamp sets, Love n' Breakfast and Bannerific .  I really like the layout of this card, it would be really easy to change out the image and sentiment.

Happy Sunday folks.  I hope you are bundled up and keeping warm today.  I know down here in Florida the temperatures have dropped a little...more like a lot, but it is a nice excuse to go to Starbucks lol. Anyhow, today I am showing you a fun card, clean just the way I like it, with a little pop of color.  I have a few friends who don't live anywhere near me, but I wish I could give them a big ole hug...that is where the inspiration came from when I was making this card. The image and sentiments are both from Avocado Arts .  The cute little owl is a sneak from the February set called, Wishes and Kind Thoughts.  It is hard to see in this picture, but I added Glossy Accents to the glasses (too stinking cute).  Glossy Accents is a cool liquid adhesive, that when used alone, when it dries it can resemble glass...cool stuff.   The entire team is posting today (there are some new faces), so be sure to check them out too!

I had every intention on getting my New Years photo cards out already, but I have not.  I'm still working on the envelopes.  It is funny how I simplify things by getting photo cards made, but make the process so much harder by decorating the envelopes lol.  I had stamped and personalized a few envelopes for the Christmas cards I handed out (there were only a few...) and I thought it was so much fun and cute to decorate them, that I decided to do it again.  I love personalizing things for my friends. It is very simple and easy to do, you just have to be careful because the paper that envelopes are made out of is really thin.  So if you color on them with copics (like I did) have a very light touch because the ink wants to spread.  I also put a sheet of paper on the inside, so the ink wouldn't bleed through the entire envelope. Now all I need to do, is address these, put a stamp on them and drive 30 minutes to the nearest post office lol.   Materials Us...
