This is a simple card that I dressed up by coloring the image with Copic markers and added some faux stitching around the edges. Then I popped up the image for some dimension. I made this for Operation Write Home as part of the current Masculine Card Challenge. Thanks for stopping by.

- Epoxy Eyelet Charms – Making Memories “Snowflakes”
- Stamp – Inkadinkado “Silhouettes: Holiday Greetings”
- Patterned paper – BoBunny “Snowy Serenade Sparkles”
- Ribbon – May Arts
- Embossing Folder – Cuttlebug “Snowflakes”
I used the current sketch: Sketch 159 at Clean and Simple Stamping to design this card. I used the snowflake charms with the textured paper created with the embossing folder. The real experiment was stamping directly on the ribbon. The ink bled a little bit, but it wasn’t an entirely failed science experiment! I like the simplicity of the design, yet there is a lot going on with all of the snowflake elements. Thanks for visiting.

I’m pretty amazed that i’ve posted 100 cards already–just in a few months. Anyway, this is a card made using this week’s sketch on OWH Stars and Stripes: Sketch #81. I like this sketch–it is simple and very easy to apply to any card theme. Thanks for stopping by and checking out the 100th post!

- Stamps – Rubber Soul “Happy Birthday,” Basic Grey “Insignia stamp set”
- Cardstock – Bazzill
I created the background for this card with Colorbox Chalk inks direct to paper and then went in with a starburst stamp (manufacturer unknown) and stamped over the inked layer. This is an extremely simple card, using the CPS Sketch #230. With such a “busy” background, I decided to keep it simple! Thank you for visiting.

- Die cuts – Spellbinders Nestabilities: Labels Twenty, Butterflies, and Foliage
- Stamp – Penny Black “Flourish Birthday”
- Patterned papers – Basic Grey “Wisteria: Fountain” and BoBunny “Clover Dot”
- Inks – ColorBox Chalk Inks
This card was inspired by the current sketch at Clean & Simple Stamping – Fall to Layout #152. There is very little stamping involved, just the birthday stamp and inking the edges. I also used the chalk ink to add color to the butterfly, using the die as a stencil. Thanks for visiting.

I made this card using the Clean and Simple Sketch #149, which is this week’s sketch there. I really like this sketch. The verticle and horizontal bands of pattern are really nice together, yet it is a simple design. The browns and pale greens are sort of soothing, almost Fall colors. Thanks for visiting.
