Today's Post is a General card or a Masculine card.. Clean and Simple.

Just Paper and a Punch...

Using Lost Lagoon, Basic Gray and a Piece of DSP.

One Punch set of each color Basic Gray and Lost Lagoon a slim Dimensional

Happy Easter Weekend!!

 

I hope everyone gets to enjoy the weather and time with their Families!!

Today we have two cards, one more spring and the second clean and simple Easter.

 

 

Here is your spring card... Woodgrain Embossing folder, Butterflies and pretty Strawberry Slush Ruffled Ribbon.  Note the folded front... this is a half gate card.  Leaving half of your inside card exposed.  A couple more butterflies carries on the theme..

Keeping the Rhinestones to one color highlights them...

Two layers of Ruffled ribbon adds a presence ..

As you can see the front is basically flat, so this too is mailable.

It is difficult to see but on the inside there are two butterflies, one is "dirtied" up with a sponge to help you see it... in this small version of the picture it is difficult to see... enlarge to see what I mean.

 

 

 

Here is our second card... using Watercolor Wonder DSP and colors from that to highlight and bring the two different patterns together.  Banner Framelits are used here.  Yes, I really do like them!!

The stamp set is called Eggstra Spectacular.

 

This is a coloring that I can do, but apparently I should have pulled out the blender pen to do a better job, haha

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This also has a low profile for easy mailing.

 

I do love my dimensionals though.

 

 

Have a Happy Easter! Stop by for a super cute card tomorrow.

 

Have a Great day getting Crafty!!

Today, I figured another Masculine card would be nice...

Boy there are a Ton of cards with Flowers lately, you have to know I have be itching to get out and work in the gardens.  I can actually say I have been pulling weeds and cleaning things up out there!!

Here is another Birthday card...

The sentiment is slightly sarcastic and fun.

Using the Soho Subway DSP again (Sunday's Card), The colors and look were perfect, just a touch of pattern.

The sentiment is on one die cut from Apothecary Accents and one end is just "cut" off. 

The inside, using Washi tape from Epic Day and a scrap of Soho Subway..

The front has a clean and simple look.

Just a couple layers add the interest.

and Yes, this is a slim card and mailable.

Enjoy your day!! 

Have a Great day getting Crafty!

 Good day, everyone!! Hope your Sunday is lovely!

Sunday in my house is a simple, hang out and relax kinda day. 

Today's card mirrors that:

Petite Petal stamps, punch and the Bird Punch are all that is needed here.

Note: The flowers are punched from Whisper White, 

sponging the two and stamping one, keeps it simple.

Adding a very small amount of sponging to the edges of the corners, VERY lightly, just to add that little something.. 

I could not help myself... it needed something and the Rhinestone did the trick.

Note: The extra pieces of thread... they were scraps and just add a little more 

presence to the Linen Thread.

Blissfully enjoy your day today and have a Great day getting Crafty!!
