Thankful for You Note Card ~ Can You Case It # 65

Here is my inspiration for this week's Can You Case It? Challenge




This challenge is right up my alley! I love making clean and simple cards. With spring finally here is Northern Virginia I am picking out fun bright colors. I decided to have fun with this card and use a my treat bag die cut as an envelop instead and to make a note card to put inside of it.  The patterned paper that I pulled out is from Stampin' Up! though unfortunately I can't remember the name of it. I also pulled out one of my favorite Stampin' Up! stamp kits Button Buddies. I love this flower stamp. I use this stamp for all sorts of occasions. I chose Pink Passion ink from Stampin' Up!. I thought that would be a fun color with the patterned paper. For the sentiment I used Stampin' Up! Good Greetings which is another one of my favorite sets. For the flower tag I used Reverse Confetti Tag Me die and for the sentiment I used Stampin' Up! Banners die cut. To tie it all together I used Stampin' Up! Old Olive ribbon and a hot pink clothes pin to clip the tag to the bag.  I like how it all came together. Thanks for stopping by and leave a comment...I love to read them!
Happy Stamping ~ Wynne

OSAT Mothers Day Blog Hop

 
 
Hello there and welcome to this month's One Step At a Time Blog Hop! This is my first blog hop and I am super excited to be part of it. I am looking forward to sharing my CAS ~ Clean and Simple cards with you all. The theme for this month is Mothers Day and here is my card that I made...
I wanted to do something fun and a little bit nontraditional for mother's day. After looking at several different stamp sets this one jumped at me. The sentiment is from the Stampin' Up! set Lovely Amazing You. I am a big fan of sentiment stamps and I am always looking to add more to my collection. I have also been on a tag kick lately and used my Paper Smooches Tag Stitched Die cut which I love the faux stitching around the tag. I also wanted to add a bit of color and pulled out some fun paper from BoBunny that I picked up at the ScrapBook Expo last year. The paper is from their Ad Lib Collection. To give it a little extra kick I added the strip paper behind the white card stock. I wanted to use a fun color to help pop out the colors on the striped paper and I chose Stampin' Up! Tempting Turquoise which is one of my favorite colors. To tie everything together I added some green ribbon and a turquoise clothes pin.

The Challenge ~ One Year Anniversary Celebration Part Two

I have decided to add one more card to this week's challenge! This week is my spring break which has given me more time to get crafty in my craft room! This is one of my favorite stamps from Unity Stamp Co. ~ Sent with Care. I love the simplicity of this stamp. For the paper I used Simple Stories I Am... (love the spring colors), and added a bit of pizzaz with my sewing machine...definitely closed my eyes and hoped for the best! I am pleased that my stitching stayed straight! I love adding a touch of sewing to my cards. For the ink I used Stampin' Up! Pear Pizzazz. I added the yellow chevron ribbon to tie all the colors together. I really like how this card turned out.
Thank for stopping by
