Happy Tuesday my friends!

Time for a new Try Stampin’ on Tuesday sketch –

Optional Theme : Butterflies

What a great mix of theme and layout!

I went with a Mom’s Day card –

I am just overjoyed at how this turned out!

I created the banner flags first from the Yay, You hostess set. Inside each banner, I used the Garden in Bloom for the butterflies and the Thoughtful Banners for the sweet sentiments.

I repeated ‘Mom’ using the new placement tool, the Stamparatus, that will be available in June. It makes this sort of stamping soo easy!

So. What do you think? Isn’t this just the sweetest? I’d love to hear from you too.

Since this is a challenge, you can create a card and join us at Try Stampin’ on Tuesday or link up on our Facebook page!

Ahhhh, the middle of the week. And, time for Watercooler Wednesday Challenges!

Penny has a terrific sketch this week –

You know me. These are my favorite. Clean. Simple.

This is what I created –

It’s pretty clean. And, really simple.

The inside is too –

Wouldn’t you agree?

These types of cards are my favorite. CAS really takes a lot of thinking to execute. It seems though we always want to add more instead of use less.

Even the placement of the simple stamped images can be too much. Here, it’s just perfect! You have to know when to say enough is enough.

This card nailed it. And, I hope that I have inspired you as well. The designers at Watercooler Wednesday created some wonderful cards.

Please leave some happy readin’ and check out what the others have created.

Play along with us and I’ll leave you some happy readin’ too!

Simple Supplies used –

Stamps – Garden in Bloom
Card Stock – Basic Black, Daffodil Delight
Ink – Tuxedo Black Memento Ink

Happy Stampin’

It’s Thursday – you know what that means? It time for another Create with Connie and Mary challenge!

We alternate our weekly challenges between color to create with and layouts to follow. This week it’s a layout –

I like this layout. I created this card in no time. Going with the Mother’s Day again. I loved the colors of my card.

Every mom wants to feel special – especially on Mother’s Day.

The DSP is from the 6×6 Go Wild pack. Believe it or not, this pattern had the tiny little Tip Top Taupe slash lines running along the edge. That is the color I used to create the leaves behind the flowers.

And, yes, I used two different framelit sets here. The flower is from Botanical Builder and the leaves is from the Rose Garden Thinlits. So, yes, pulling all sorts of products out!

As you can see, it created a lovely card fit for mom or really anyone else!

I’d love to hear what you think of my card! Then, you should head over to Create with Connie and Mary to see what the other fabulous designers have created to inspire you! And, P L A Y A L O N G with us!!

Happy Stampin’
