My cards for the May card swap.

I am finally getting around to posting the cards I sent out to Millie & Kim.  Been a busy month!

 

 This card I sent to Millie using the rub on fairies she sent me last month.

 

 

 I sent this card to Millie and Kim.  Just a simple card using some pretty doily stamps from MME.  I just wanted to find a way to use them.  I have many more stamps I need to use. I think stamps are just as addicting as pretty paper. 

 

 

 This one was made using a small white paper bag.  At the top there is a tag you can pull out and use to put a sentiment on.  There is a pocket on the front where you can put a gift card or whatever treat you want.  I just put a small stamp set in that pocket when I mailed it to the ladies.  I got this idea from All that Scraps Blog  This one I sent to Millie.

 

 

 This card I sent to Kim.  She sent me some K&Co stickers last month and I used them to make this card.  She also sent me the paper and the brown ribbon I used to make the card.  So basically Kim sent me almost all the goodies to make this card.  I hope she liked it.  The heart I made in the Cricut craft room basic shapes.

 

 

 I sent this one to Kim.  I changed them up a bit by sending each one made with a different color.  I forgot to mention the stamp is Latte Kiki la rue, a C.C. Design.  I got her at All that Scraps  They have some really cute stamps.

 

 

 Here are some of the goodies I sent the ladies in the May swap.  The cupcake stamp set is the one I put in the pocket of the cards I made them.

 

These stamps I sent the ladies I found at my local scrapbook store.  Have to support the local shops.  I thought they were cute and whimsical for spring.

I hope they enjoyed their goodies and cards.  I was trying to make up for my lack of cards I sent in last months swap.

 

Happy Crafting!

More May cards

Today I got Millie's May cards for our swap.  Here is what she sent.

 

 This card is so cool.  I love the tickets attached to the card.

 

I love this beach themed card.  It all flows together so nicely.

Great cards Millie!

 

Now on to the goodies she sent me!

 

 These candy dots are so cute.  I know it is hard to see in the picture but they are little buttons.  The best friend rubber stamp is a nice touch.

 She also sent me a bunch of paper.  Woot Woot!  Who doesn't love more paper.

 

I love this beautiful plaque Millie sent me.  Thank you Millie.

Ok next on to the cheery cherry challenge.  Millie sent me a cherry rubber stamp and a couple of cherry pieces of pattern paper.  Now my task is to make a card using these items.  I will try my best.

 

Thanks Millie for the beautiful cards and wonderful goodies this month.

I put my swap cards and goodies in the mail today.  So keep a eye on the mail box they should come Saturday or Monday.

 

Happy Crafting!

May card swap

Kim sent me her May cards.  They came today May 1st.  She is on the ball.  Here is what she sent me for our May card swap.

 

 I love this pretty butterfly card!  It can be used for any occasion.

 

 Very cute Kim.  I love the little butterfly at the bottom of the card.  So sweet.

 

Very elegant card!  I love the lace used.

 

Kim sent me some goodies too!  Oh love the goodies.

 

Thanks Kim for all the neat goodies & beautiful cards!

 

Fairies & Butterflies

Since spring is here I got inspired to do a few cards with a spring like theme.

 

I got this sweet C.C. Design stamp from All That Scraps  They have some of the cutest stamps.  I also got the sentiment from there.  I colored her using the Spectrum Noir markers.

 

This is a old stamp I had for a long time.  I just love fairies.

 

I hope you all are enjoying your spring.  Before you know the heat waves will come.  Here in Pennsylvania it can get sticky hot.

 

Happy Crafting!

 

 

April card swap

Wow do I have a load of cards this month to show you.

First we will start out with Millie's

 

 I love how this card comes together.  The little dragonfly is so cute also.

 

This card is absolutely gorgeous.  I wish I could have gotten a clearer picture of it.  It is pieced together so nicely.

 

 

Front

 

 

 Inside

Another beautiful card.  I love how the flowers are put together on the front.  It is awesome.

 

These goodies came in my package.  I just love the stamps and stickers.  I love the rub on fairies.  Millie knows I love my fantasy creatures.

Thanks so much Millie.  Everything is just wonderful.

 

Ok now on to Kim's cards.

 

This card is beautiful.  I just love the pretty ribbon used to hold it closed.  This card can be used for so many occasions.

 

 This card is so cute and fun.  The little hand on the clock moves and the pink sparkles are so pretty.  My camera did not do them justice.

 

 

 Wow check out the different pattern paper used for this card.  I love all the different patterns but yet it all comes together nicely.  Great job Kim.

 

 

Now this card is awesome.  It folds out so nice.  It is just a all around cool card.  The little clothes pins on the card did not come with it.  I needed something to put on it in order to be able to sit it up to take a picture of it.  Such a neat folded card.

 

 

Kim put these goodies in my package.  Those boarders are so pretty.  I love the flower pack with the butterflies.  I can use them.  I never tried using a clear glitter pen.  They look cool and I can't wait to try them out.  Thanks so much Kim!

 

Now on to my card.  Yes I only sent one card this month.  I had a rough month so I didn't get much done.  I hope to make up for it next month.  Of course I did slip some goodies in each of their packages. 

 

 

Well I hope you all enjoyed looking at all the lovely cards and they help inspire you.  I know sometimes my mojo is lost and then when I start looking at cards other people make it inspires me.

 

Happy Crafting!

 



Happy Easter!

Wishing you and yours a very Happy Easter!

Lucky Day

Since St. Patrick's Day is coming up I decided to do a card.  I used the Stamping cart to make the clover and saying.  Swiss dots embossing folder on the background.  Added some green bling at the bottom of the card.  I went a bit crazy with my white gel pen but I enjoyed myself......LOL.

Hope you all have a Lucky St. Patrick's Day!
