mason jar thank you

A pretty little thank you card I made with the mason jar and flowers in the Bloom and Grow Diners stamp set. I love that little retro mason jar... lots you can do with that image! The thank you stamp is from Everyday Sayings.

birthday trio

I've have a shortage of birthday cards on hand, so I decided to come up with a layout I liked and stamp a few cards at the same time. You'll see there are subtle differences on each card, but they all follow the same recipe. I used some fun new word-stamps that I designed for GRS that were just released today... Sentiments Squared (Appetizer set) and Birthday Squared (Coveralls background.) I used Versamark ink on the background stamp... I've always been a big fan of Versamark!

Here's each of the cards... and my description of how I think each looks. Made to match whatever friend's personality I need a card for! Which card fits your personality? :)

Sophisticated

Retro and Glamorous

(check out those awesome buttons, they make me swoon)

Bright and Girlie

circus swings

So the cards I'm posting today don't actually feature a circus swing. They are circus AND swing cards.  ;) These cards were made from our last two Diners sets... Swingin' Spring and Bloom and Grow. I think they would both be fun birthday cards. The circus card has a Happy Birthday sentiment on the inside.

 

I added a little "rope" to the tree swing...

strawberry sweet

I am a strawberry addict. My daughter and I can buy a 1lb carton of strawberries and down the whole thing in one sitting. A little whipped cream on top is also a plus... or even better, melted chocolate. YUM! I designed a few strawberry and garden stamps recently... here are a few cards.

These feature stamps from the GRS Strawberry Sweet and Bloom and Grow sets.

chihuly

My husband and I visited the new Chihuly Garden and Glass museum the other day. If you are ever in the Seattle area, I highly recommend it... inspiring! This is a picture I took inside the glass house looking up at the space needle.

a little retro dad's day

It's been awhile since I've taken time to do any crafting. Sometimes when I get caught up in life's little (or big) stresses, I forget that my hobby is one of the things that can help relieve that very thing. :) With Father's Day coming soon, I wanted to make sure I had some cards made for my Dad and Husband. I used the set I designed for Gourmet Rubber Stamps... Daddy-O. So much fun!

This one is for my Dad. Classic.

This one is for my husband. He's a little more "metro"  and stylish and has an obsession with ties, so this works for him.

I have a Pinterest board now! If you want to follow more of my creations, follow me HERE. The design team girls at GRS are also posting lots and lots of cards featuring Lizzie Anne Stamps. The GRS Pinterest board is HERE. Delicious!
