Baby Dahlia Card

This is a cute baby card I made.  Seems like so many people I know are having babies and most of those expected little ones are girls...Envy, I tell you!  I sooo want a baby girl too!  The flower on this card is the smaller dahlia image from the PTI's Delightful Dahlia stamp set.  I added a button in the middle of it and placed some purple buttons on the very top next to the letters b-a-b-y too.  Cute card!

Congrats Dahlia Card

I wanted to make the sentiment on this card stand out, since it's such a beautiful script and the word was long enough to cover the whole card.  I decided to place it in the middle on the very top and just decorate the rest of the card. I had a piece of pink cardstock that I already stamped with Background Basics: Text Style.  It was left over from a previous card design so I decided to use it.  I punched out the top of the pink cardstock with a border punch. The Dahlia was perfect for the bottom left corner but I also wanted to balance it so I tied a white ribbon on the top right corner of the pink cardstock as well.  All that was left to do was add dimensionals to the back for a little pop and on to the basecard it went! I finished it by rounding the corners of the top of the card with my 1/2 corner rounder.  I think it turned out really nice.  Hope you like it too!

Dahlia Mother's Day Card

Here's a beautiful Mother's Day card made with PTI's Delightful Dahlia stamp set.  I love how this card looks.  Isn't it just lovely?  The Dahlias and sentiment were stamped with gray ink and then I colored the stamped Dahlias with Copic Markers.  Turned out great, at least that's what I think!

MIA

Sorry guys for being MIA.  My laptop went dead and I couldn't upload any of my photos to post.  My husband just bought me a new laptop, so I will definitely be posting some new beautiful cards I've been making.  Stay tuned!

Embossed Mother's Card

Here's another embossed card.  This one is perfect for Mother's Day!

Embossed Card

I embossed the front cover of this card before putting the sentiment on it. Love the color combo on this one.  This card was so easy whip up!

Butterfly Card

Here's a fun butterfly card that I made. I love how this turned out because it's so colorful and fun.

Another Ruffle Card

This card is very similar to the last post.  I really like the ruffles, don't you?  I used a large flourish on this card and added some butterfly images.

Scallop Flower Card #2

Here's another scallop flower card I made but this time, I used really fun colors.  I love how bright and happy this card is.  I added some scallop ruffles to the bottom of the card for some dimension. Hope you enjoy this one as well.

Scallop Flower Card

I made this scallop flower card the other day and I've been wanting to post it, but I never got around to it til today.  The scallop flower is super easy to make and looks gorgeous in person.  I got this idea from Lynn Pratt's site. She has great instructions too, so if you're wondering how to make it, stop by her site and take a look.

Violets 3

Here's another violet card.  This one is a little different since I used different colors to color the flower.  I also used a birthday sentiment.  Do you like it? 

Wedding Dress Card

I went to a wedding shower this past weekend and made this wedding card for the bride-to-be.  She was registered at Bed, Bath, and Beyond and so I purchased a gift there.  I didn't realize that they had changed their gift wrapping colors.  It used to be silver and white but now it's purple and white, so I made a purple and white card to match the gift.  Hope you like this one. It was super easy to make!

Violets 2

Here is a gorgeous card I made using PTI's Violets stamp set.  This is definitely going to be one of my favorite sets, I can already tell!  The background was made the same exact way as yesterday's card. And so was the flower, the only difference is that I added the larger violet image as well as the larger leaf image.  isn't this card so gorgeous?  I love how it looks!  I will probably put this on my Etsy shop if anyone wants to purchase it.

Violets 1

Have I ever mentioned that I love PTI products!  Each month they come up with such yummy stamp sets!  This set is called: The Year of the Flowers-Violets.   It was only $15.00 and boy is it a lot of fun! I made the background of this card by stamping the smaller violet in four different colors: Purely Pomegranite, Pixie Pink, Rich Razzleberry, and Melon Mambo.  Then , on a separate sheet of paper, I stamped the small violet image three times and colored it with copic markers, cut each piece for layering, and added pearls in the middle for a finishing touch.  I also stamped the small leaf image twice, colored it with copic markers, and hand cut them as well. Next, I added some Rasberry Fizz Grosgrain ribbon to the background piece, before adhering the flower and leaves. This was so easy to make!

Dot Spot

I used PTI's Dot Spot stamp set to create the background in different colors.  I love the look of all the bright colors.  Then I stamped some butterflies from Butterfly Dreams in Melon Mambo and Orchid Opulence inks. I die cut and hand cut the butterflies out and adhered them to the card. I added buttons to the middle of the larger butterflies too. Hope you like this card as much as I do!

PPA32- A Theme Challenge- Spring

PPA32 this week is a theme challenge: Spring.  I don't know about you but I can't wait until spring.  I'm so ready for the nice weather so I can go jogging outside.  I think this card is definitely a springy card!  What do you think?

The image on this card also comes from PTI's Blooming Button Bits stamp set.  Yes, it's another purple card!  I'm on a purple addiction.  LOL! I promise, the next few cards will be different.  Hope you like this one though!

Purple Blooming Button Bits 2

This card is the same idea as yesterday's but I just slightly turned the focal point and I used a different patterned paper.  Love it!

Purple Blooming Button Bits 1

Happy Friday!  Funny coming from a stay-at-home Mom, huh?  Actually, I alwayslook forward to the weekends because that means Family Time with all of us and my husband who is always so busy during the week that he hardly ever has time to eat dinner with us. So the weekend are always good because we get to do things as a family.

Here's a card  I made using Papertrey Ink's Blooming Button Bits stamp set.  I wanted to use the color purple. It's sometimes very difficult for me to figure out what to go with purple or even to make a purple card, but I had this beautiful purple Designer Paper from Stampin' Up that I wanted to use.  Don't you think it looks great with the purple button flowers?

Through the Trees Card 2

Here's another Through the Trees card.  I added a patterned paper from PTI's Turning a New Leaf.  I like the simplicity of this card.

Through the Trees Card 1

Here' a card I made using PTI's Through the Trees stamp set.  I colored the tree in three different colors.  I love how the trees turned out.  The patterned paper is also a PTI product: Turning a New Leaf.  They work perfectly together.  I love this set although this card seems more fitting for fall.
