Friendship Card

Hello!  I have another card made with Inchies...those little inch squares with images.  I have used a more botanical theme for this one using Gina K Design stamps from Handmade Botanicals, A Year of Flowers 2, and sentiment from Hello Friend.  I also stamped the background on white CS with GKD Petite Flourish.  I used Memento Tangelo and Bamboo Leaves inks with Orange and Green Cardstocks. Cut white inches with square die and the green mats with scallop square die.

Leftovers Scraps in to a Card

Hello!  Having fun using up some scraps.  Had just enough of these 3 patterns left to die cut some squares, hearts, and words.  Assembled them on a White CS base.  These papers were part of a freebie that came with a Magazine.

Fall on the Way

Hello! I have been enjoying the cooler temperatures the past few days and looking forward to the colors of fall.  I made this fall theme card using the sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches.   I came across some leftover punched leaves (in assorted fall colors) from another project and decided to combine them with die cut squares from fall color CS. I embossed the gold layer with Cuttlebug Leafy Branch EF before arranging the squares and leaves.  The sentiment from Gina K Stamps is from A Year of Leaves set and stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa ink.  All cardstock from stash and scraps.

Quilted Christmas Greetings

Hello!  I have been too busy to post the past few days.  I finished Christmas cards that I made for my Mother to mail a couple weeks ago but never showed here.  Thought I would enter for some of the Christmas challenges.  I am not too happy abut this photo... the card is very straight but the camera distortion makes it look out of shape. And I had sent off the cards before I realized how bad the photo was. OOPS! so I could not remake.

Since my Mother has made many lovely quilts, I decided to design her cards with a Quilt Theme.  I used squares from pattern papers from Authentique Collection Wonder pad with Cream CS and Cherry Red Card base to create the layout.  I used embossing on the background as well as the quilt squares.  Finished with a sentiment stamp from Power Poppy and some Green Gems.  I completed a total of 30 cards in this design. The inside was finished with a printed greeting.

Challenges:
