BLESSED EASTER

Happy Monday, Everyone!  I hope your weekend was filled with abundant blessings.

While I enjoy working alone in my stamp haven (AKA the basement craft room), it is a special joy to create with someone else.  Over the weekend, my supporting demonstrator and best friend (AKA as my hubby Lou) joined me for a few hours of crafting and getting ready for this week's club meeting.  I will be sharing our accomplishments in later posts.

For today's card, I want to show off one of Lou's previous creations - a window card for Easter:


To make this card, a So Saffron mat was layered onto a Very Vanilla card base.  The layers of the window were cut using Oval Framelits and the Big Shot.  The Blessed Easter stamp was inked up with Jet Black Stazon; then Lou water-colored the flowers using a blender pen and So Saffron and Always Artichoke inks.  Didn't he do a great job?  And like most of us do after we create something, we see "other things" we could have done.  Lou has decided that the next one he makes, he will emboss the So Saffron mat using the Framed Tulips embossing folder.  That should be lovely, too.

My next post will also feature this wonderful Easter stamp set.

Until then,

SASSY SALUTATIONS meets NEED FOR SPEED

With 9 grandsons and plenty of young boys at church who keep having birthdays, there is always a  need for quick and easy cards at our house.  Today's card uses both current and retired stamp sets; and like yesterday's, is single layer and water-colored. 

To make this card, I used Note Cards & Envelopes; Sassy Salutations, Gorgeous Grunge, Need for Speed (ret.) stamp sets; Island Indigo, Sahara Sand, Real Red classic ink pads; Stazon Jet Black ink pad; Blender Pens (to add layers of color on the car).

Thanks for taking a peek at my card; hope it inspires you to create a card or two for the guys in your life.

Happy weekend!
Trish
