Thank You Tag Card

Sometimes you just need a little card... and what better to make it out of than some Medium Shipping Tags from SpiegelMomScraps! I love those new Ombre Ink pads from Hero Arts, and I have two of them right now, so I got to work making this tag:

I used a bit of Ribbon  and a Tiny Clip at the top for a touch of added embellishment. I think the ribbon looks great with the lighter portion of the ink on the tag. When you go buy your own supplies at SpiegelMomScraps be SURE and use Code : CHARITY15 for a 15% discount on your total order!

I used a little bag from V's Sweet Ideas as my envelope and the stamps are all from this set of Waffle Flower Crafts stamps.

I LOVE how this turned out!

I filmed a process video as I was making this little card.

Mother's Day Card 2015

I made a couple of Mother's Day Cards this year, one for my own mother, and one for my Mother-in-Law. I like them both, and they are very different. I used one of the sketches from the NSD activities over at the SpiegelMomScraps Facebook Page for the first card.

The Sequins, White Tag, Ribbon and twine all came from SpiegelMomScraps Shop, That hi clip I made myself using a stamp and die set from Waffle Flower. I LOVE how this turned out. 

This second card I think is LOVELY! I used a 3x4 card from Pinkfresh Studios. Stickers from October Afternoon that I have had for well over a year. Those cork butterflies, the gingham ribbon and the gold foil doily are all from SpiegelMomScraps Shop. I knew I wanted to use one of those 3x4 cards, I'm trying so hard not to be a hoarder, The background paper was a scrap that was just that size, it was slightly longer than my card base so I picked up the first edge punch that I found and it took off a fantastic amount. I decided I liked the way it looked right on top of the white card base and then I used some things on my desk to embellish. I really like the way this card turned out ad it was so quick and simple. Those cork butterflies are self adhesive and I'm loving both them and the hearts from SMS!

Inspired by... Jen McGuire and Waffle Flower

So a while back I saw this video by Jennifer McGuire:

These cards reminded me that I have some border stamps I haven't utilized so I got busy and made this card:

I didn't have any silver paper, so I just embossed some of the stamping. I think I like the cards better with more color, but I had it in mind to try using shades of blue with silver. I'm not going to let thinking it could be done better stop me from sending it out, that little cup from Lawn Fawn Love you a Latte makes me smile. Those borders are from Paper Smooches Borderlicious. I will be trying out this technique again as I really do like it and think it can make great all occasion type cards.  In fact, just change the sentiment and it can be anything! Do you ever make cards inspired by ones you see online?
