Bicycles Are Cool !

Hello All!

I love bicycles in the paper crafting world. They can be used for so many things from encouraging someone to keep peddling or 'enjoy the ride'. The bicycle is so universal - I think you can get away with using it almost anywhere.

The following are cards that where created for Cards for Hospitalized Kids. Can you spot the bicycles? lol

I love simple cards! As you can see - sometimes simple can mean so much for someone who has so much going on in their lives. For this card, I used a 'college font' stamp from Inkadinkado. Washi tape on top of washi  tape to make it more unique. Yes - I have a bicycle washi, it's actually from SCOTT! Love it!! For a some fun finishing touch, I added some gems in the bottom.

I have soo many bicycle stamps - it's not even funny! LOL! But I LOVE them! For this card I used a bicycle stamp from Studio G. The brave stamp from Studio G and some washi tape from Recollections. Aren't those arrows cute?

I hope this inspires you to create some cards today! Do you have a favorite stamp or washi? Leave a comment below.

Same Materials, Different Outcomes Cards

Hello All!

I hope all is well!

The goal of this post is to show that one does not need lots of materials in order to create different and beautiful cards. The following cards where created using less than five materials. I used an embossing folder, washi tape, a dollar stamp (which I LOVE), and ink pads.

This a simple cute little card. The clouds where created using an embossing folder and the Cuttlebug machine. The white around the cloud edges was created by lightly dabbing a white ink stamp pad. I added some encouragement at the bottom corner of the card by using a stamp from Studio G. I love washi tape, so I added one of my favorite polka-dotted washi.

I used the same materials for this card, but different outcomes - both cards beautiful, inspiring, and fun.

These cards where created for Cards for Hospitalized Kids.  I hope these cards  inspire you to create something beautiful for this wonderful organization or even for a friend that needs some encouraging boost.

'Say Cheese!' Card

Hello all!!

I hope all is well with you and yours!
In case I havent mentioned it - I love cameras!! I collect old cameras and when I have the opportunity, I use them (oh, good old 35mm film.)
Today, I want to share with you a very simple hello card inspired by my camera love that can be done in 15 minutes.

For this card, I used a chocolate color base cardstock for the actual card. Both papers are from DCWV packs. The top lined paper was embossed using the Cuttlebug and one of its embossing folders.  The scalloped circle was made with white cardstock. The scallop was lightly decorated with glitter glue by Studio G. I used some dimensional Gluedots to stick the scallop to the card which gave it that needed 'pop!' The cute camera stamp is by Imaginisce - this cute little stamp was a present from my mom many years ago and I still LOVE it!

I hope this has inspired you to create some cards!
