Simple Card For a Friend

Good morning! I just wanted to share with you a "REAL" simple card I made using My Creative Time stamps and dies! I have to admit my struggle with purple continues but I had these flowers left over from another project and had to make a real "quick" card. My husband had to say goodbye to the secretary at work last week after 20 some years with the company. She will be missed dearly.

So like I said, I had these left over flower using Emma's flower die ~ just LOVE how easy they are use! You can do so many in just a short amount of time. I also wanted to use her new tag die! Again ~ these are to fun and easy to create with too! I distressed the edges just a tad, stamped a sentiment and done! Told you real simple and quick! I will list all materials used at the bottom of my post. Sorry about the picture ~ it was so sunny that day!

Most importantly head on over to Emma's blog, at My Creative Time, to see if you were one of the 12 LUCKY winners of the blog hop! Emma has some goodie bags just waiting to be shipped!


Materials Used:

My Creative Time ~ Tag Dies ~ tag
My Creative Time ~ Rolled Flower Dies ~ flowers
My Creative Time ~ Curly Label Die
My Creative Time ~  Bloom Where You Are Planted ~ sentiment
Paper Trey Ink ~ paper, ribbon, button
Paper from Stash
Stampin Up ~ White twine
 Joann's ~ wire
