Easter Chicks

Getting ready for Easter.  Found this little stamp last year - that little chick is so cute!

 

Have you started making or buying your Easter cards yet?

Materials:
Card stock - black and khaki
Paper - ?   (found a small bit in a basket)  ;')
Stamp - Technique Tuesday Greenhouse 09-12
Ribbon - Raffia
Embossing folder - Paper Studio

Have a great day,

Happy Valentine's Day

 

Have a great day!!

Masculine Cards

Making the right card for a man can be difficult.  Whether giving or receiving cards, most men seem to prefer cards that are not too feminine, not too flowery and not too plain either.   So, I thought a masculine background with muted colors might work.  Here are two cards I made yesterday.

 

 

Materials:  

card stock - black, light khaki and burnt orange 

ribbon - off white raffia

stamp - Technique Tuesday Greenhouse 09-12

embossing folder - Darice

                   

 

Materials:

card stock - black and light khaki

Washi Tape

stamp - Rubbernecker

embossing folder - Paper Studio

Both of these cards are clean and simple and quick to make.   I think most men would like either of them.

Notice the Washi tape on the second card.  This is my first time using Washi tape.  I love it.  Costco had a revolving tray with lots of tape in different colors and patterns -- couldn't pass it up.

Are you ready for Valentine's Day?

Take care,

Kathy

Hydrangea Notecard Set

Hydrangeas are one of my favorite flowers (geraniums are number one) so I really enjoyed making these simple yet so pretty notecards.

The hydrangea stamp is from the Stampin Up  'Just Because' set.

Have a great week,
Kathy

More Valentine's Day Cards

I love making Valentine's Day cards.  The colors are usually so bright and cheerful and the cards are full of love.  sigh....

So, here are a couple more that I have made.  Clean and simple and I really like them. 

 

Are you ready for Valentine's Day?  

Happy Monday,

Kathy
