Deepest Sympathy

Sadly, we seem to need sympathy cards more this year than ever.  So, with some of my favorite colors -- so soothing  -- I created this sympathy card using pretty paper in my stash and Paper Smooches stamps.  I punched out the butterflies and added a few pearls. 

I'll post this card to the Paper Smooches SPARKS Anything Goes Challenge


Take care,
Kathy

Happy Birthday to the Golf Nut

A quick post today to show you the birthday card I made for the golf nut in our family.  This card is based on another card I saw on Pinterest with just a few changes.

The basic card is dark green with a light blue piece for the sky with rolling greens in bright green, of course, and a embossed golf ball with dimples.  The left corner has a bright light green button and twine.

A simple and easy card to make - perfect for the golfer!


Have a great day,
Kathy

Congratulations

Graduation time is almost over, but I needed one last card.  Everyone loves the smiley face so I thought I would make a look-alike of a card I saw at the post office.  Sometimes they have some really great ideas!

I punched a yellow cirlce and drew the smile with a Copic pen (actually traced around the bottom half of a smaller circle).  They eyes are a cute little stamp from Technique Tuesday's Simple Sentiments.  The congratulations sentiment is from Paper Smooches Word Up set -- these are my two favorite stamp sets. 

Then I cut out a cap and twirled a length of twine for the tassel.

My first card was just the smiley face, cap and tassel on a white card.  It is okay, but needed something.  Hence the background paper of teeny tiny colored dots.  I think the patterned  paper adds a little depth and the smiley face pops.

The second card will be posted to Paper Smooches SPARKS Challenges Blog -
