Clean and Simple cards...

Currently I am designing for the Clean and Simple Challenge at Splitcoast Stampers, and I am really loving it! I've learned to scale down my cards, so that I can offer different kinds to all levels of card makers. Let me tell you, it's hard to stop myself from adding more to each card! I'm a girl who likes layers, ribbons, bling, bows, and more!! I've always said, if I can get it on there, I will!! Clean and Simple cards reach out to me in a way I never thought! Try one of the challenges, and you might see that you like making them as well! I always love my embellishments, but sometimes when you need a fast card, CAS is the way to go! I'm showing three CAS cards for your viewing pleasure today.

On my first card, I used Spellbinders™ Edgeabilities® Classic Decorative Inserts Three, a pretty Iris 3D embellishment from K & Company and a sentiment from Sweet 'n Sassy. On my second card, I used Floral Ovals, a cute dress pattern found HERE, silk ribbon from The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store, and an Inkadinkado sentiment. For my last card, I used Foliage, patterned paper from Kaisercraft, and a sentiment from Sweet 'n Sassy.

Sending Happy Thoughts...

Here's a quick and easy card I created for today's post! I used Spellbinders™ Shapeabilities® Spiral Blossom One and Foliage die templates for my project. A bit of kraft paper, gorgeous patterned paper from My Mind's Eye, a stamped sentiment and a pretty satin bow and I was finished!! Nothing is easier than this!!

Heartfelt thanks...

Still doing cards behind-the-scenes for catalog work (which I'm really excited about), so I'll just show a quick card today that I created for the Splitcoast Stampers Clean and Simple Challenge! If you have time, why not play with the current sketch challenge!

Spooky Spider Web...

Well, I've been extremely busy this last week with behind-the-scenes projects and a brief vacation to Virginia to visit my two brothers! My sister flew to New York and we drove to VA! We laughed so much our sides hurt every night! What a fabulous time we had!

I'm excited to announce my first card I created for Spellbinders Paper Arts™ is now in the Spellbinders Idea Gallery! This card was created back in April, and just now I've been able to show it! My card uses the newest dies that are being released at CHA: S4-330 Nested Tombstone, and S4-330 Spider Web.
