Floral Friendship

 Hello Everyone!

I have been in the mood to make cards. I bought some new stamps and dies and have been making some things.  I made several friendship cards and a birthday card.  The flower was stamped with Ranger Adirondack inks and die cut.  I lucked out with this decorative paper.  The floral motif fit perfectly with the large die cut flower.  The first card is a friendship card with a bit of humor (see sentiment on inside). Stamps and dies from Stampin Up

Humorous sentiment on inside.  

Birthday version of same design.

So glad you visited today!  See you soon with more cards I made with this large flower.

Biking Fun!

 Hello Everyone!

Back today with a set of fun cards I made with a bicycle theme.  I made several of the cards to send to friends.  The image was stamped with black dye ink and colored with copic markers.  I made the clouds by using a cloud dry embossing folder.  I emboss sky blue cs and hand cut the clouds.  Stamps are from Stampin Up.

Such fun projects.  I put the dog in the basket (last card) for my dog loving friend.  So glad you stopped by today.  See you soon>

For a Friend Vintage Style Card

Hello Friends,
Today's post features a card made with a friend themed stamp.  This is a great card to share with a friend just to let them know you are thinking of them....Even when you are in you studio working away.
I used the same layout and made two cards in totally different color ways.  I used that patterned cardstock again.  The same look could be achieved by using decorative paper that covers the card base completely.

Brown and Green were used in this version.

I used a hot yellow and orange color scheme here.  The patterns were really layered on in this card.  The different patterns add lots of movement on the card without being crazy. The trick is in varying the actual pattern shape in each paper.

Hope you enjoyed this friend themed card.  Have a lovely day!
Karen
