Feel Better Soon

Seems like I have been needing get well cards rather frequently lately.  Nothing serious, but enough to warrant a card.  Since I needed to make a get well card, I thought I would make the card to fit the Paper Smooches Picture Perfect Challenge.

Here is the challenge photo:



Great colors.  And here is my card:

Take care,
Kathy

Thanks So Much

Sunflowers and geraniums are my favorite flowers.  This sunflower stamp from Stampin Up is on my top ten list of most used and loved stamps. 

The card is based on a sketch (below).  I added a dark brown patterned paper (can you see the round dots?) with a square of burlap on a white square card.  Then I stamped the yellow sunflower on a piece of watercolor paper and used my water pen to highlight the edges with orange ink. 

I picked up some brads a month or so ago so that was good timing!    The orange brad and polka dot flag add a little extra touch.  The 'Thanks so much' stamp is from Paper Smooches.

I'll be posting this card on two challenges:

Paper Smooches Anything Goes

Hump Day!!
Kathy

Hi!

One more card for the week.  This card was fun to make.  I covered a piece of card stock with cute little strips of Washi tape - love the colors.  I picked up a round tray dispenser at Costco (my favorite store!!) a few months back,  The tray was full of different colors and two sizes of Washi tape.  Really handy to use.

Then I placed the  smaller square in the middle of a white square card, added a red button and yellow bow, a few butterflies and bling and the sentiment in the corner.

I'll post this card to the Paper Smooches SPARKS challenge



Have a great weekend!
Kathy

Anything Goes

An Anything Goes challenge is, as I've said before, a challenge.  I started this card for another challenge and did not finish it -- life somehow got in the way!   So when the new Paper Smooches Anything Goes challenge came up, I decided to complete the card and enter it in the new challenge.

I love blue, green and yellow and flowers.  Spring is here, thankfully.  I've had enough of winter.  My daffodils have buds and I can't wait to see them.

So, here's my card.

 

Paper Smooches Anything Goes  (wk 5)

It's hump day!   I miss that commercial.  I laughed every time (and I do mean every)  I saw the ad on TV.

Take care,

Kathy

Happy Everything

Snow!!!!!!  I am soooooo tired of snow.  In the summer I say I live in the South because the humidity is pretty thick in August and in the winter I like to say I live in the South because our winters are normally mild.  Well, that winter statement is totally off this year.  We have had soooo much snow, I'm ready to go to Florida!

So, I'm thinking Spring with a capital S!  My daffodils are up about 4" and trees have buds.  They are ready and so am I !

I used stamps from Paper Smooches (leaves and sentiment)  and Verve (flower) and added a little bling in the center of the flowers.   The flowers and leaves are stamped with Versa Magic on watercolor paper and I used my water brush pen for a little watercolor effect.   For a change I made a square card - don't make many of them.  Hope you like it.



I'll be entering this card in a couple challenges:

Take care,

Is it Spring yet?

Is Spring here yet?  I am soooooo ready.  My daffodils are popping up in between snow mounds.  I always worry about them, but they always seem to be as beautiful as ever.

Well, I could not resist Spring colors and created this card for the Paper Smooches SPARKS challenge.

Best Wishes

One of my Christmas gifts was an egift card to Paper Smooches -- yay!   I picked out a couple die sets:  Poinsettias and the Big Bloom die set.   I've been anxious to get up to my cave and try the dies.

The lacy circle in this card is the Sizzix Scallop Circle.  The center flower and the little tag were made with the Big Bloom set.  The sentiment (best Wishes) is from Stampin Up's Petite Pairs. 

 

 I will be entering this card in two challenges:  Sweet Sunday and Paper Smooches SPARKS

  

We received a bit of snow yesterday, so I'll be in my cave today.  Sad, I know....   ;')
