Hello and welcome to the post for today where I will share with you a birthday card I created for a little boy who is turning 8 years old. I found out that it's not so easy to come up with a card design that's not too young, not too old and isn't too frilly.

Hello and welcome to today's post. I know none of us like to make Sympathy cards but every now and then they are needed. I created this new card with a very soft Taupe and Vanilla combo. The embossing folder is a Christmas one but lent itself to a dimensional background that I felt was needed. Inking all the edges seemed to soften the card and I love the monochromatic design.

Welcome to the blog today and I hope this finds you well.

I think it can be used for anyone at anytime of the year just to say you Love them. The design is clean and simple with the use of the embossing folder to provide some texture in place of DSP.

Hello and welcome to the first Valentine's card I have created for this year. I had to switch card making mode after making so many Christmas cards. This one was hard for me to finish off after having all of the elements cut and had some help coming up with the finishing touches like the sentiment placement and heart sequins. All of the papers used are Stampin' Up as well as the heart sequins. I really like how this one turned out and hope you will as well.
