I really liked this clean and simple card! The sketch is really fun, from Freshly Made Sketches Sketch #101. I gave the patterned papers a darker color backdrop to provide some contrast and then I outlined the majority of the perimeter with white pen for a little more contrast and some faux stitching. I used my favorite white pen for this which contains white acrylic paint. It doesn’t “skip” like a lot of pens and is made by Molotow, in the One4All line. The Operation Write Home Midweek Throwdown this week is a challenge to make Thank You cards for our heroes to send home, so this will be perfect for that. Thanks for visiting today!

This week’s Operation Write Home Stars & Stamps Midweek Throwdown challenge was to create Friendship cards. I showcased some pretty floral papers for this one and created a focal point with the sentiment. Hopefully it will cheer the recipient up a little. Thanks for visiting today.

This is a clean and simple card. I stamped the butterflies on a tone on tone patterned paper and attached the panel with dimensional adhesive. I then popped up the sentiment banner and also have it extending past the card base for a little more visual interest. The sketch I used was from a pre-class challenge at Online Card Classes for Summer Card Camp 2. I’m excited that this “camp” will be beginning in a little over a week. These classes are always top-notch! Thanks for stopping by today.

Today is Father’s Day and this is my husband’s card. It features some perfect paper for masculine cards! Lots of hats and stripes, for example. The sentiment stamp is one of my oldest. The date on it is 1992, which makes it over 20 years old! It’s a classic! I also used a color scheme that is part of a challenge for the upcoming Online Card Classes Summer Card Camp 2. We were challenged to use 4 out of 5 of the following colors:
With this paper collection, I was able to nail it! I also double stamped the sentiment with Smokey Grey and Onyx Black Versafine ink. Thanks for visiting today.

This was the Mother’s Day card I made for my mom. I had to post it late today so she wouldn’t see it online before she received it! I used the sketch at Clean and Simple Stamping #140 for inspiration. This was the first time I’d used this die, which is ornate and very pretty. The colors are very Spring-y and the pearls made it seem more elegant. Happy Mother’s Day, Mom! Thanks for visiting today.

I made a clean and simple card with the current sketch at Unscripted Sketches #204. These papers are pretty loud, so they kind of are front and center on this card! But I think it makes a cheery birthday card with festive colors. Thanks for visiting.

The OWH Our Daily Bread Designs February Challenge is to create a card that features fruit. I made this card with the gorgeous stamp I got years ago from Chapel Road Artstamps. I colored the image direct to rubber with Colorbox Chalk inks in yellows, greens, oranges, and a bit of red. I hope you enjoy it and thank you for stopping by today.

- Die cut – made with Spellbinder’s Shapeabilities “Butterflies” (embossed areas colored with ColorBox Fluid Chalk inks)
- Stamp – Rubber Soul
- Ink – Tsukineko Delicata “Golden Glitz” ink pad

I made the background for this card with rows of Washi tape, which was a part of one of my lessons in the Clean & Simple 2 class I’m finishing up at Online Card Classes. The effect it creates looks like patterned paper. I popped up the die cut butterfly with dimensional adhesive, after coloring the embossed areas with chalk ink and a sponge dauber. A very simple, yet cheery, card! Thanks for visiting today.
