An Easter Chick

I have had Lawn Fawn's Happy Hatchling die set for a couple of years. I think it is an adorable die set and the dies make it easy to create cute Easter cards. I used retired and current Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up for today's card and the Stitched Scallop Circle dies from My Favorite Things. Have a great day and find yourself a little stampin' time!

So Pretty

As I finished these two cards, I thought, "These are so pretty". On both cards, the background layer for the butterflies were created using Distress Oxide Inks and brushes. I then splattered a little water to give the backgrounds a bit of texture. Next time, I will splatter a little more water. The splatter spots are barely noticeable. Once again I used butterflies punched from Stampin' UP's Botanical Butterflies paper that is free with $50 purchase during Sale-a-bration. Have a great day!

Pink & Blue Birthday Cards

About the only thing I use my Scan N Cut for is to cut out stamped images. The other day I came across the word "happy" as I was scrolling thru the SNC menu on the machine. The font and shape of the word were so cute that I cut out a few of them for today's cards. Lawn Fawn's Elphie Selfie stamp set included the balloon, elephant and cake images. The little cupcake is from a retired Stampin' Up set and the "birthday" is from Lawn Fawn's Hats Off To You stamp set. The Fancy Scallop Rectangle dies, used for layers on each card, are also from Lawn Fawn. Have a great day!

Checked Paper

I survived the surgery! A week ago today I was a nervous wreck and here I am now at home and doing good. Thank you all for your well wishes.

Today's cards were created using images from Penny Black's Nature's Wishes stamp set. The birdbath card used two patterns of Stampin' Up's Designer Series Paper, Botanical Butterfly. The garden card was created using Stampin' Up's Garden Gala Designer Series Paper and coordinating Highland Heather cardstock. The cards remind me that Spring s right around the corner. Have a great day!
