Faith

Very simple but somewhat elegant card

I think would be good for a sympathy card

or even someone that needs a 'pick me up'.

I love the softness of this card, it seems calming somehow.

I used two of Tutti Designs dies for this one

Floral Cross and Word Set-Faith.

I embossed a light gray card stock then layered it with two

other papers, once again using Tutti Design dies

Nesting Stitched Rectangles.

Three small Roses were added to the cross.

Isn't that cross die pretty?

I love it!

Love You Dad

I have a second post today because I just couldn't help myself...lol

and the fact that I have LOTS of masculine cards I have created..wow!

This card was made for Father's Day with a Father's Day die,

but I think it be could given just as well as a birthday card!

I used snippets of paper from my scrap bags...gotta love that

and the die is a Tutti Designs Father and Daughter.

I punched a little heart and popped it up....

the sentiment was stamped directly onto the designer paper,

Another pretty easy card and easy to mail, too!

Love 'Notes"

Today I have a different sort of a masculine card from my 'norm'

....a bit of a 'love one!

For this card I used one of the very newly released dies from

Tutti Designs 'Saxophone'.

Very clean and simple with a stitched black star behind

and a glittery saxophone.....

tiny read hearts coming out of the horn and

a perfect stamped image for a sweetheart of a man!!

On another 'note' (teehee)
this is where I spent  all day yesterday in the hospital
with my daughter and granddaughter waiting patiently
for this little sweet heart to arrive...
we left the house around 3:30 am and I
returned around 7pm...lets just say it was a
tense day as things didn't go as planned,
as my granddaughter Ally was high risk...
but in the end we were blessed with this little
beauty

Meet Malaika  (pronounced malika and means 'angel' in Swahili (spelling?)..lol )
born at 2:25pm (C section in the end)
weighing 8#'s 6oz and 19" long.....the sweetest baby...
and making me once again a great granny!!
(look at those chubby cheeks..oh my!!)

Shabby Chic Romance Card

I have a 'shabby chic' romance/wedding card today.

It is one that definitely will pretty much have to be hand given....

non the less it is worth it I think.

I used a Tutti Designs Dove Love Heart die.

The background is a pretty already embossed dot paper I picked up

at a scrapbook store.  The Roses and flowers were from my stash and the

ribbon/bow is from the RRR ribbon club.

Summer Fun

Today is the day the entire Design Team comes together

at The Cutting Cafe blog with our creations all in one place.

Do visit there and leave a comment for YOUR chance to win

3 cut files of your own!!

I used the Summer Bingo Cards Printable Stamps for my card.

These cards can be printed in 3 different sizes.

I chose the smaller ones as I wanted to place them on a card.

There are many more to choose from and you can find them HERE!

I popped up my cute 'summer flip flop' bingo card on an

embossed white card stock...thought those shells were a perfect touch!

I added a starfish, beach chair and tiny flip flops using Impression Obsession dies.

To finish I added a pink hemp cord.

I wouldn't call this CAs, but would say it is simple...went together fast

and will make a perfect summer birthday card or a 'just because' card!

Little Flower Cart

Today is the hubby's and my anniversary.

Can you believe I don;t even have a card made for him...lol...

I am sure though I have something in my stash that will work..geez!

We spent the last 4 days at our lake house about 5 1/2 hours from here...

the weather was almost perfect, it did rain each day but not long before

the blue skies poked out.  We had lunch at one of our favorite 'haunts'

in Mackinac City and supper on our last day on Black Lake

(it rained there, too...lol)....anyhow,

we are going out to supper tonight as well....fun!

I have A LOT of catching up to do...

I will be visiting your blogs soon!

I have a card today using a Tutti Designs die

'Flower Cart'.

The colors are much deeper/brighter then the pictures show

and not only that, it is a smaller card,

4 1/2" square to be precise.

I added a few greens behind the die cut, a tiny butterfly and a tiny

gingham bow along with a 'gem' for the wheel center.

Thanks for visiting!
