Hugs and Kisses

Hello again, friends!

Today I have a really easy but cute card to share with you.  I made this card for my mom a little while back.  There's not much to it ... start with a Lost Lagoon card base and add a piece of Whisper White cardstock.  I used the "Work of Art" stamp set and did three "strokes" of color with Lost Lagoon, Tangelo Twist and Blackberry Bliss (three of our 2014-2016 in colors).  On a separate sheet of whisper white, I stamped hearts from the Work of Art stamp set in the three colors and snipped them out using my Stampin' Up! paper snips (the BEST scissors ever!).  I popped some Stampin' Dimensionals under the hearts to make them "pop" and then gave each heart a pearl jewel to pretty them up a bit. 

The sentiment is from the photopolymer stamp set "Countless Sayings 2".  I love the photopolymer stamps.  Because they are clear it is super easy to see where you are stamping and line things up.

 

That's all for today, friends.

 

Wishing you many creative adventures and a Blessed Day!

A little encouragement ...

Hello again, friends!

Thanks for stopping back by my blog!  Today I have a card that I made for a family friend.  (She started out as my mom's friend, but once you get to know her, you can't help but love her, so now she's my friend too!)  She was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and is currently receiving appropriate treatment.  I sent this card to my mom so that she could have a card to send her friend.

 

 

I love this card because it's fairly simple, but really beautiful.  The sentiment is so appropriate for someone going through any kind of challenge in life ... and on the inside it says "You've got ME".  I love that!  I wish I could take full credit for the design of this card, but I certainly can't.  The inspiration for this card came from my amazing up-line, Ronda Wade.  She did a very similar card for an event I participated in.  All I did was change the sentiment to meet my needs and switched out the designer series paper banner for a different print that I liked a little better.  I love the results!
