Springy Notes

Happy Tuesday everyone! Today on the Cheery Lynn Blog I share a springy thinking of you card with the fun Dandelions dies and the new Add a Flourish! I layered a background with the Lattice Circle Frame and Tiny Bubbles Borders. I then created a spray of flowers using the Dandelions and the Tiny Flower Kit along with the flourishes. A sweet Mini Butterfly colored to match the flower finishes off the card.

Festive Friday Blog Hop #8| House Mouse Double Joy

I am so excited to be part of the Festive Friday Blog Hop hosted by Terri Sproul. This bi-monthly blog hop features Holiday cards from 13 talented card crafters and I'm proud to be among them.
If your reached this stop from Fab's blog Fab's Big Christmas Card Challenge , then you are in the right spot! If you would like to start from the beginning, you can return to Terri's blog.

Shared Joy House Mouse Christmas Card

For this 6×6" card I used my favorite stamp subject : HOUSE MOUSE by Stampabilities.
I colored this image with Prismacolors using Gamsol Blending Solution.  The pine branches are highlighted with PKGlitz Egyptian Treasures. The ball is made to look like glass with the help of Diamond Glaze. I attached the image to its mat with matte-finished Bazzill brads. The tomato Bazzill Cardstock was edged with Ceramcoat Gleams in gold. The sentiment was colored with Green and Red markers, matted and attached with foam tape to the front on top of the green hemp twine.
Thank you for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed my card.

The next stop on the hop is Debbie Feist's blog. If you get lost on the way, the entire list is on the right hand side of the blog under Festive Friday Blog Hop!

House Mouse Happy Birthday

Birthday card

House Mouse is probably one of my favorite stamp companies and I love this stamp with the daisies. This was a Birthday Card that I created for my boss Dedra for her 50th birthday. She loves flowers and this stamp just looked like her.
The card stock is Die Cuts With a View Birthday MatStack and Bazzill Basics and Bazzill Bling. I colored the image with prismacolor pencils and used Gamsol to blend in the colors. I used a Stampin' Up punch to create the border edge and a TimHoltz Texture Fades folder to create the embossed mat. The brads are Queen & Co.
Thank you for looking!
