Botty Birthday

This card was fun to make. If it wasn't for my unsteady coloring I would love it. I did not even realize that the double circle punch retired until I posted this card (boo hoo) I love it to make faux brads. It might be one I have to hold on to for a while...

Mother's Day

I noticed that I had never uploaded the card I had made my Mother for Mother's Day. I sponged around the edges of the flowers.

Flight of the Butterfly

I saw many cards with this layout so I do not where to give credit to. I used a texture plate in the Big Shot to emboss the flowers and then punched them with a circle punch.

Star Wishes

Ok, so this idea came once again from the Stamp and Smile Blog. I loved the idea of the bottom of the card. I took the Top Note die and instead of putting the card stock on the long way I put it on the short way. Than I only ran it through the Big Shot just far enough so that it cut just the first edge. I am so glad I ran across this card for this concept alone! It is hard to see but I have a textured pattern behind the star. The trim of the circle was just done with 2 circle punches. I found it easiest to punch the smaller punch first. I sponged around the edges of all of the print pattern papers with Chocolate Chip ink. I love the larger brads and I know I wil be buying new ones soon!

Happy Daisies

This casr was made for my sister's birthday last week. I used the retired In Colors (which were actually not retired at the time I made the card...). I cut out the 3 of each Daisey with the Big Shot and sponged around the edges. I loves that the Happy Birthday fit perfect in the Small tag Punch aso that I could layer it with the Large Tag Punch.

Lots of Bots

Well, the new catalog is out. This is one of the sets that I bought when the Demos had a chance to pre-order. I thought it would make great kids cards. Being that my hands are not as steady as they use to water coloring does not turn out very well...as you will see in my next card. So I found this card by Kreations by Kris where she had used paper piecing to add the color to the robot. I once again had to use retired paper because I have not had the chance to order any new paper as of yet. I also love all of the piercing. It really makes the card! I just had to use some of the new In Colors.
