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!

Happy Mother's Day!

I just wanted to wish ALL of you a Happy Mother's Day! It doesn't matter if you are a MOM to a 2 legged, four legged or something that has fins ~ you are still a Mom! I hope it is filled with lots of LOVE, HUGS and KISSES!

For my card I decided to something very quick! I made my siding with 1/2 inch strips of paper (layered on top of each other)~ inked just a tad. I used a window die my friend Janice told me about months ago (Thank You Janice) and popped it up. Aren't these flowers just the CUTEST! They are the Flower Petal Dies that Emma over at My Creative Time had in her last release! LOVE that signature stitching! My little sign on the top is MCT Stitched Oval Die with the sentiment from Mom You Rock Stamp Set!
Well that is it for this project ~ no long post ~ I hope your day is a GREAT and Happy one!
