Hello Everyone: I have an absolutely beautiful card by Jan Francis to share with you today!
We love the way Jan used our tulip from our stamp set Y563! She inked the stamp with clear ink and bits of matching colors of the design paper and then embossed the whole thing with white. What a lovely effect!
Hello Everyone: Today I would like to share a wedding card with you. We are gearing up at our house for a wedding reception for our daughter the end of April, so I have wedding cards on the brain!
This card was super easy to make. I began by stamping the sentiment with blue ink onto a white cardstock scrap (P722). I cut it out, blended some blue ink around the edges and adhered this piece to a blue mat. To finish this piece, I added three pink Mini Rounds (Metallic Mini Rounds 90193) to the top left and bottom right corners of the piece. I then set it aside.
I used a piece of pattern paper (Did you notice I tried to match my embellishments to the colors in the paper?), and adhered it to a blue mat. I then adhered the sentiment toward the top center of the card. I wrapped a piece of our 3/8" Double Stitch Ribbon ( 70951 Soft Blue with Cream) around the matted piece and added a bow to the center. To finish, I created a Felt Blossom using a Medium Blossom (62103, a Small Pastel Blossom and a Medium Pastel Leaf 62101) To attach the blossoms and leaf together I added a Dark Pink Tropical Round (90672) and adhered my newly created flower to the center of the Ribbon bow.
All that was left was to adhere everything to a white card. Hope you like this card!
Enjoy!

Hello Everyone: Easter really caught up on us as it is so early this year! We have a fun card to share with you from our archives, but with a new twist!
The creator of this card originally used pieces of our 1/4" Organdy Ribbon in 70633 Lime and wrapped them around a strip of scrap cardstock to create the appearance of grass. Wasn't this clever? She added some Bright Circle Bling 50500 to the right of the strip before adhering it all to the bottom of a previously dry embossed card mat. She then chose two of our Felt Easter eggs 63125 and cut paper scraps to add behind them to add more color peeking through the openings in the felt eggs. They were then adhered to the embossed card panel and the panel was adhered to a white card.
The new twist is the addition of die cut grass to the card. The die is now available from Creative Impressions.
Happy Easter from all of us at Creative Impressions!
Enjoy!

Hello Everyone: I know everyone is really looking forward to Spring now, especially those of us in Colorado who were just dumped on by LOTS of snow! Therefore, it's time to show you some cards over the next few weeks with bright, happy colors that reminds us of warmer temperatures and flowers!
First, Jan added yellow ink to the white spaces around the flowers, She then added purple felt flowers (LG. Felt Blossoms Pastel 62201 and Medium Felt Blossoms Bright 62103) in the centers of the flowers and attached then using yellow brads (Tropical Rounds 90672 and Bright Mini Rounds 90198). Once this was accomplished, she adhered the panel to a black panel. then to a purple one and finally to a yellow card.
To finish, "Have an Amazing Day" was stamped on a piece of white scrap, trimmed down and adhered to a piece of yellow cardstock cut in a banner shape at the end. So simple and effective!
Thank you Jan for sharing your work with us!
Enjoy!

Hello Everyone! St. Patrick's Day is fast approaching! I have a lovely and simple card to share with you created by Chari Hogsett!
Chari began by adhering a piece of patterned paper to a white card. She then cut a piece of our 2" Web Ribbon in Moss Green (70198) and adhered it to the the center of the patterned paper. She stamped "Happy St. Patrick's Day with dark green ink on a scrap piece of white cardstock along with the double shamrocks and finally adhered this to a slightly larger green mat.
To finish the card, Chari adhered Happy St. Patrick's Day to the green Web Ribbon. Easy and delightful card. Thanks Chari!
Hope you enjoy this card!

Hello Everyone:
As St. Patrick's Day will fall on Sunday this year, I would like to share one last card with you that we just couldn't leave out!
This card was made by me using the same Triangle pattern I used on one of the last Christmas cards. After placing my coordinating triangle pattern paper pieces onto a cream card, I wrapped a piece of our beautiful 3/8"Green Velvet Shimmer Ribbon (70972) in the center and adhered the ends to the back. This piece was then adhered to a slightly larger full card
To finish, I used our Wood Mounted Red Rubber Stamp S175 and stamped the top image (it has two on it) onto a piece of scrap cream cardstock.
Hello Everyone! Can you believe how quickly the month of February is behind us and we are on to March? I sure can't! Time to get ready for my kids' birthdays and St. Patty's Day (my son's birthday is St. Patty's Day). Here is a card designed for the occasion:
For this card I adhered a piece of patterned paper to a white card. I then adhered a piece of 2" Web Ribbon in Lime (70183) towards the left side of the card.
I stamped various images from Creative Impressions Stamp Set M165 Lucky Green onto scrap squares of white cardstock with green ink. I blended some green ink onto the edges of the squares and adhered all of them to a darker green piece of scrap cardstock. These were then adhered with foam tape to three different areas of the card.
Finally, I threaded a piece of dark green Thin Jute Twine into the holes of a White Small Button (51000), creating a bow in the back. The button was then adhered onto the Web Ribbon in-between two of the sentiments.
Another easy and fun card. Try it!
Susan
