No Place Like the Nest

 

Recently I purchased several stamp sets from Taylored Expressions.   I love this set – Bless Your Nest.   I also purchased the matching die cut.   Don’t you just love the nest?

I don’t always make the traditional card for a holiday.   I made this one for my Mama for Mother’s day.   After all she is the mother bird that raised me.   There were times she told us as children that we reminded her of baby birds with our mouths open; always hungry..

I colored the leaves with my copic markers and added some fun washi tape to help embellish the card.

Products used:   Lime twist – My Minds Eye.  CTMH – Tulip. Chocolate. Breeze. Desert Sand. Cashmere. TE – Bless this nest and matching die cuts. Distress ink – Vintage Photo. Sewing tool. Washi tape. CHF – Mothers Day Centers. Spellbinders – Labels 6.

I made a Card!

Let me repeat it…..

I made a card!  I made a card!    Somehow I found a few spare minutes to make a card! 

I love the color combo with yellow and grey!    I have so many favorite color combos and would love to incorporate so many of them in my house but … I can’t even imagine how that would look.  HA!  

Isn’t that a fun little branch punch that I added on the corner?  It’s real delicate.  This is a pretty basic card.  It has a 4 x 4 base.  I cut out four little squares and embellished each of them separate then attached.

Products used:   Teresa Collins – Carolina Breeze.  Handmade flower – old book, scallop punch, glittermist, brad. TE – Adventureland. Seam binding ribbon.  CTMH - black cs.  MS – branch punch.  Distress ink – Vintage photo. Button. Pigma pen. Old sewing tool.

Birthday Friends

It’s been awhile since I’ve made a card.  A dear friend of mine had a birthday this week so I thought I better get busy and make something.   The last few birthdays and holidays I have actually bought cards at Hallmark.  GASP!!! 

I need to get busy and get my Mojo flowing.

Sorry that the pictures are a little fuzzy.  I was in a hurry and didn’t change my lense :(

This is a fairly basic card.  I’m loving all of the colors and textures on it.

Products used:  CTMH – D1332 – Boutique Borders.  Kraft, Garden Green, Olive, Saddle.  SU – Twine, Edge punch, Circle punch, Corner rounder punch.  Button. Twine. Distress ink – Vintage photo. TE – Adventureland.
