Hello Everyone:  Here's a simple and lovely St. Patty's Day card created by Chari Hogsett!

Chari used our Shamrock stamp and stamped it in green on a scrap piece of white cardstock.  Cut out and set aside.  She then die cut a large label from white cardstock and edged it with green ink.  This too was set aside.

A piece of patterned paper was adhered to a dark green mat. A length of our Moss Green Web Ribbon (70198) was adhered to the piece down the front.  This piece was then adhered to a lime green card.

Finally the previously die cut label was adhered to the center of the card along with the shamrock image. three light green bits of Bling from our Pastel Circle Bling (50501) and a lime green Blank Grosgrain Ribbon (70538 tied in a knot)

That's it!  Very fun and easy card to make!

Happy 8th Birthday!

Hello Everyone:  We have been featuring quite a few holiday cards lately, but we certainly don't want to forget all those who celebrate birthdays during this time!  Here is a card made for an 8-year old:

This sweet card was created using Creative Impressions stamp set  TT238 .  This wonderful set features all of the numbers 0 through 9 so that you can create any age number you like for a card, including 100!

I began by stamping the number 8 with green green onto a white cardstock scrap.  You will notice that the stamp has some fun studs on it.  I used our Primary (90190) and Pastel (90192) Mini Round  Brads in                        different colors to decorate the number 8.  Set aside.

I wanted to add a name on the front of the card along with the words "Look Who's", so I used our alphabet set  Multi Retro.  I created some pennants is different colors of scrap cardstock and stamped a letter on each one to spell the name "Sarah".  I then added them to the spaces between our Yellow Pom Pom Cord (70232) and adhered them to the top of the card.  Then I stamped out "Look Who's" with black ink directly onto a patterned paper panel.

The patterned paper panel was adhered to a green cardstock mat and then to a white card.  The previously stamped number 8 was cut out and  adhered to t he card using foam tape.

That's it!  Super easy birthday card!  Now it's your turn!

More Wedding Cards

Hello Everyone:  It's time for me to share a few new Wedding Card samples I created:  You may know someone having a Valentine's Day wedding or need a card for later on.  These were so easy and fun!

 As you can see, both cards use the same pattern, however, there are slight differences.  Here is the first card:

Those for you who know me know that my absolute favorite color is purple.  I saw this paper and just knew I had to make something with it!  I started by cutting a coordinating square of paper, adhering it to a slightly larger piece of purple cardstock.  Then I die cut a heart from the same paper.  I used the beautiful "Love is like a Butterfly" sentiment (H183), stamping it in purple ink directly onto the heart.  I also stamped the larger butterfly from set Y575 True Friends on a scrap of white cardstock with the same purple ink and cut it out.  I used one of our Gold Curved Heart Brads 91004 for the center of the butterfly and adhered it to the base of the heart using foam squares on the bottom portion of the butterfly.  Set this piece aside.

To finish the card, I adhered the larger piece of patterned paper to a purple mat.  Before adhering to my card I wrapped a piece of our 3/4" White Crepe Ribbon 70132 around the center of the piece, adhering the ends at the back.  I then slipped another piece of the white Crepe Ribbon underneath the previously adhered ribbon and created a pretty bow.  I adhered the heart and butterfly piece to the upper center portion of the card and slid the bow up to the base of this piece.  The whole thing was adhered to a white card and it was done.

I also created an almost identical card using a few different stamps.

I stamped the small Eiffel Tower from Y548 Amour and cut it out, adhering it to the center of the previously die cut heart.  I also stamped Je T'aime from the same set twice on either side of the Eiffel Tower.  This time I stamped the smaller of the two butterflies from Y575 on another scrap, cut it out as before, attaching the Curved Heart Brad and adhered it to the base of die cut heart.  Now we have a slightly different card!  

Just think of the possibilities with this card pattern.  Hope you like them!

Happy Valentine's Day from Creative Impressions!

 Hello Everyone!  We are featuring one last Valentine's Day card to wish all of our friends and wonderful customers a very happy Valentine's Day:

Haven't made your cards yet?  This card is so easy to make for last minute Valentines.  I used Creative Impressions set M147 Love Puts and stamped the heart in red onto a piece of white cardstock.  I then used 4 of our medium red hearts (90313) and 1 mini red heart brad (90320) and adhered them to the heart.  As you can see, the hearts are the exact size of the hearts on the stamp.

After cutting out the heart, I set it aside.  I then adhered a patterned paper piece to a red mat.  I placed a piece of our Red 1" Grosgrain Ribbon (70592) over a strip of white cardstock that I edged using a punch.  On top of that ribbon I adhered a piece of our Pink with Red Hearts Printed Ribbon (80128)                     and wrapped the ends to the back of the piece. 

To finish the card, I stamped "Be Mine" in red ink underneath the lace and ribbon piece.  I used a red mini brad for the "I" in "Mine"  This panel was adhered to a white card and the large stamped heart was attached with foam tape to the left side of the strip.

Hope you like this easy Valentine card.  It could also be used for a wedding card, etc. by changing the sentiment.  Happy Valentine's Day!
