I was a little behind in getting a Father’s Day card ready so I needed one quickly and ended up making a few so I could choose which one I liked best. So I put together these three simple cards that have the same design but very in color etc. The paper I used was the oliver paper pad by BasicGrey. I also used some random gears and brads that I had in my stash.

I started with a plain white card base that is 4×5.5 and added the large color block which measured 3.75×5.25. Then I cut various strips, three per card, and snipped the ends into points. Next I added a couple of gears with a brad through the middle strip prior to adhering all three strip down. Last I printed out Happy Father’s Day in three different fonts on white card stock and trimmed them down to size. I slipped one end of the strip under the gears and done!

Thinking of you card loaded with butterflies! The butterflies were colored using Distress Inks and a watercolor pen, then misted with Perfect Pearls. Creating on National Scrapbook Day!

I made a few 3×3 Valentine’s Day cards. I wanted to play with all the new copic markers I got for Christmas! I love the little owls. I scored 6×3 pieces of paper and folded them to make my cards. Then I cut 2.75 x 2.75 color mats to layer on the cards. Next I cut 2.5 x 2.5 white pieces of paper to do my stamping on. After stamping, coloring with copics, and adding stickles or googley eyes I took a black/brown pen and drew a border around the white sheets before adhering it all together. Super cute and the perfect size for Valentine’s Day cards!
