The pictures don't show it very well, but there are scored lines as a background for the die cut flowers.

I follow the "Quilt Cards and More" page on Facebook. There was a card nearly identical to this one using a "tulip" design. I still had some of that same paper so decided it was something I wanted to try. The directions for this card make for cards. It starts with a 7 1/2" x 7 1/2" base and then multiple pieces of the various colors. When all the pieces have been added, the base is cut into four equal squares measuring 3 3/4" 3 3/4". I didn't want four cards and was able to cut just what I needed for this one.

My second project yesterday was making bookmarks which will be given to the local library for the children to color and either keep or give to adults who check out books.

NORTON'S NOOK - "Cluck" Stamp & Die Set

Below is a card I made after watching a Rita Holmes video on 3/17. While I had the stamp set out, I decided to make a card that I liked better using the stamp set. The "chicken wire" is not from the Norton's Nook set. There is an organic farm near us. They have a rooster there. Now and then Tonya has posted a video of the rooster crowing in the morning. I made this card with her in mind. I hope she like it. (Inside it just says "It's Your Birthday!"

Rita used a border stamp from Stampin' Up! that hasn't been released yet. The set includes 3 borders: little birds, kittens and puppies. I had to do some serious searching to find something to use. I stamped the three chicks stamp twice on dsp. I'm not really happy with the result because they don't show up very well. Because of the card stock I wanted to use, I didn't want to stamp in black ink.

MINI CARD ON A CARD

Rita Holmes VIDEO from March 10th.

I made a second card reversing the use of the papers. I like the way they turned out. The only thing I don't care for is that they are not a card that can be displayed as easily since the card base is flat and not an open card.

I was able to mix supplies from various companies to make my Easter cards. I was so pleased that many of the papers from Echo Park worked with Stampin' Up! card stock colors.

I'm not sure, but I think these four cards were made with papers from an Echo Park 6 x 6 pad. The cover of the pad was missing. Really fun designs to work with!

CLEAN AND SIMPLE: CHALLENGE PP777

I just happened to make two of these cards over the weekend and discovered that there is a Clean and Simple Challenge on The Paper Players. You can't get much more clean and simple that this card which I did with a Spellbinders 3D Embossing Folder. The sentiment is from Stampin' Up!.

Thank you for stopping by!

RETIRED DAFFODIL AFTERNOON DSP

USING TRIANGLES

Rita Holms had a video a few weeks ago making a card using triangles. Her YouTube video can be found HERE. It is an easy card to make. I made the second one reversing the placement of the papers.
