Happy Mother's Day

Hi guys. It's been awhile, but I haven't really been making cards recently. Until I remembered Mother's day was coming up in a few weeks, and I needed a couple cards to send off. So I sat down...and made a card completely out of my comfort zone!

I don't have a Mother's Day stamp, and my printer isn't working, so I had to come up with another idea for my sentiment. I ended up creating one using three different stamps! And it turned out great! :)

I used some cut out flowers from my stash...and some coordinating disigner paper (I cut the flowers from designer paper awhile back, but I'm not sure if these two papers are actually from the same line or if they just fit together VERY nicely!) Either way, it worked. And here is my card....

 Most of the flowers have dimensional tape to make them pop more.

So that's my latest card. Hope you're having a great spring! :) Happy crafting.

My Valentine

Hey guys. Just a quick post with my valentine's card for my hubby. I used a Die cut I've had in my stash for over a year and just never got around to trying it.

Of course I had fun  and had to bling it up. All things look greater with a bit of sparkle. :)

I put everything onto dimensional dots to make it pop.

Here's a full view:
