Clean and Simple Saturday - A Simple Love Note

/

Good morning and Happy Saturday to you! Here's a fun card that can be whipped up in a jiffy!

This card was inspired by TWO challenges, I know, that's A LOT for such a simple card right? lol The layout was inspired by by the sketch over at CAS(E) this Sketch #63 and the color combination was inspired by the Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge:

The main image can be found in the Hearts a Flutter stamp set and it has a coordinating framelit! Perfect! I love coordinating products! The sentiment is from the Loving Thoughts stamp set and the awesome cupid's arrow can be found in the Countless Sayings 2 photopolymer stamp set. 

The finishing touches were just ONE rhinestone and a rounded corner, both in the direction of the arrow, which help to empasize the movement!

I hope you have a wonderful weekend and thanks for stopping by!

Sunday Special Edition - Love Ya!

Do you like my new look? I don't usually post on Sundays but I couldn't wait to implement the changes that I have making to my blog. I made the new header myself in MDS and I just loovvvvee it! I think the cute envelope is a nice tie in to my blog name, after all what good is a card without an envelope? lol

And daisies are my favorite flower, so perky and cheerful, and purple is my favorite color so I managed to incorporate them both! The design is very clean and simple, which is very much my style.

Enough on that, you came to see a card, right?! Here it is!

I used a simple heart from the Hearts a Flutter stamp set to stamp a background in various shades of pink. I added a strip of designer series paper on the left to ground the hearts and then added a sentiment.

The sentiment is from the Just Sayin' stamp set and was die cut using the Word Bubbles Framelits Dies. I love that you can bundle both products together and save! I used the Envelope Liners Framelits Dies to create a matching envelope liner and I'm done!

So fun and easy!

Please let me know what you think of my new look!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Wedding Wishes

/

My niece called me up recently, quite unexpectedly, to ask if she could purchase some cards from me...to say I was surprised is an understatement! I am thrilled to pieces that she would think of my cards and of course am sending her a care package as we speak!

Her request inspired me to create a few pieces, one of which is featured today. I went searching for inspiration on Pinterest and found this card by Nadine Weiner that I just had to case (copy and share everything)!

Can you see the lovely shimmer? This is the first opportunity I have had to use the Foil Sheets available in the Holiday Catalog and I have a new love! Such a beautiful subtle finish for a wedding card, don't you think? And I haven't pulled out the Hearts a Flutter stamp set and matching dies in quite a while...they look superb here stamped in Metallic Silver. And this pattern from the Eastern Elegance Designer Series Paper sets everything off wonderfully!

And of course, what would a wedding be without a few pearls? I'm adding a few other cards to my niece's care package and will share some of them with you over the next few weeks. I'm hoping she enjoys using them!
