A CAS Father's Day Card


I had made a few extra Father's Day cards last year and so I found that I didn't need to make as many as normal.  My ultimate Father's Day card was created and posted here being a Star Trek inspired card.  Still, I needed a couple new ones so I decided to try a CAS inspired stamped card.


On this second card, the navy frame was die cut using a Simon Says Stamp die.  It creates a great frame for this simple card. I see flaws in the stamping on both cards, but ultimately like them as they are different than my normal style and I felt rewarded for the challenge.

These are masculine cards, so I'm entering them into the Simon Says Stamp challenge Masculine.

Beyond Perfect


I am delighted to share this notecard Brandy made using her Colorado Craft Company's Lovely Legs Head Over Boots stamp set.  I love the colors and artistic style of this card.  It is ever so beautiful.

I'm entering this into Simon Says Stamp's Monday challenge Wedding/Anniversary as this is the perfect anniversary card.

I'm also entering this into Simon Says Stamp's Wednesday challenge Masculine as it is meant to be sent to a man and it is definitely a different kind a masculine card.

An Anniversary Card Featuring Pink Fresh Studios Hanging Floral



I just had to color using my Pink Fresh Studios Hanging Florals stamp and die set.  It's such a beautiful image and easy to color.  Plus, my parents anniversary just begged for a card and this is what I ended up with. 

I'll share the card I made for my husband a little later, but today is my 26th wedding anniversary as well.  What a great day to link this card up with Simon Says Stamp's Monday challenge Wedding/Anniversary

Have a Beautiful Day Notecard Set




I finally put one of my Simon Says Stamp card kits to good use with some Mother's Day cards this year.  A few pieces were leftover and so I put these cards together using those scraps.



These papers and images are so bright and vibrant, they make a great all occasion card.  They are cheerful and I'm so pleased with how easy they came together.

I'm entering this card into Simon Says Stamp's Wednesday challenge Simon Says Anything Goes.

An Especially Bright Birthday Card




I just love how the Distress Oxides blend.  For this card, I ink blended and die cut using a Papertrey Ink frame, white heat embossing a Papertrey Ink Year of Psalms stamp to create my focal image/sentiment.  A few Zig Clean Color Real Brush marker colored Simon Says Stamp Even More Spring Flowers to add a touch of softer color and a great accent to draw the eye.


On the inside, a multi-colored stamped sentiment for the big celebration.
