Birthday Sunflowers

Happy Saturday! Today I'm sharing a card I created using the sketch over at Global Design Project :)

I die-cut the sunflowers from seed paper that I had sitting around in my craft studio (leftovers from creating my cousin's wedding invitations YEARS ago!!!) It adds a really lovely texture to the flowers!
 

 

I'll be snail mailing this one to my grandma for her 92nd birthday in late June :) I hope it brightens her day and makes her smile!!!

Enjoy your weekend!

Thanks for visiting!

Wishing You A Happy Easter

Popping in quickly today to share a couple of Easter cards I made :) Linking these up at the current Global Design Project Challenge.

I don't have very many Easter-themed supplies, so I went with some Springtime florals and an Easter sentiment. I was so happy with how this little number turned out that I made another in a different color combo:

 

Planning to send one to my grandma and the other to my mom and dad :)

Thanks for visiting!

Have a wonderful day!!!

Candy Canes

It's snowing here in the mountains, and it's so beautiful and festive!!! Perfect atmosphere for creating some holiday cards!!!

Here are a couple of cards I made using the current sketch over at Global Design Project:

These cards feature some super cute elements from the Candy Cane Lane Cardmaking Kit by Taylored Expressions as well as some fabulous designer series paper from Painted Christmas by Stampin' Up and some gorgeous die-cut pine sprigs from Botanicuts: Pine Bough by The Greetery.

I owe the color choices for the candy canes (Cranberry and Evergreen from Concord and 9th) to my husband who suggested I make them look like the cherry candy canes made by Hammond's Candy Factory here in Colorado :) Yummy!!! Which reminds me...I definitely need to order some of these delicious candies for the holidays soon!!!
 

And here's my second card---same design, just changed up the sentiment---

 

I had so much fun making these cards!!!

Thanks for visiting!

Have a wonderful day!!!

Autumn Happy Birthday

Hello there! Today I'm playing along with the sketch over at Global Design Project :)

My card features a new-to-me stamp set from Stampin' Up called Welcoming Woods. I absolutely LOVE those aspen trees!!! This time around I added yellow leaves (inspired by our beautiful aspen leaves here in CO which are turning now), but the set also includes snowflakes for creating a winter scene :)

 

I'll be snail mailing this to a very special friend in October. I know she adores autumn leaves, and I hope she loves this card!

...and here's a quick photo I snapped on a walk around the mountainhood yesterday...

Thanks so much for visiting! Have a fabulous day!!!
