Femine Cards to Share

Wow! It's way past time for a new post. Time sure gets away from me. In addition to scrapbooking, I try to make cards for special occasions for friends and family. Here are some feminine cards that I made recently.

This was an Easter card I made for my sweet Mom last year.  

 The flowers pull up to reveal the sentiment.

Here's a nifty little birthday card I made for a friend. I cut the flowers with my Cricut machine. The top layer with the flower cut is mounted to the polka dot layer with dimensional foam adhesive, and then attached to the dry embossed orange layer and card base. My favorite part is the doodling around the outside edges.

Here's another birthday card for a friend. Super simple using the Itty Bitty banner stamps and punch.

I had to have the Mighty Oak stamp and die set (Papertreyink). This set makes a beautiful card so easy. The trunk of the tree is first stamped and then cut out with the die. I used the die to cut the leaves from patterned paper.

Feminine Cards

My husband is away on a business trip this week. This is my first time home alone for several days since we've been empty nesters. Very strange, but honestly, it has also been good. I've been getting some projects done here at home. Solitude can be a refreshing experience when you know it's only temporary.

Here are some cards that I made quite some time ago, but never shared on my blog. I guess I was busy sharing all the new scrapbook pages of my sweet granddaughter! =)

The butterfly was cut with Indie cartridge (Cricut). It's such a pretty shaped butterfly! It was fun to bling it up with a few rhinestones and sheer black ribbon. The sentiment, and decorative label and oval punches are from StampinUp! I love that their punches are made to work directly with their stamps. It makes things so much quicker when you're trying to pull a card together. I'm not a fan of cutting things out by hand, if I can help it.

This one is not quite as flashy, but still very girly. The background stamp is from Glitz Designs. I used several different SU punches and stamps to create the layered flower, then dropped a rhinestone in the center. You're probably assuming I sell SU..LOL! Nope, but one of my best friends does...I'm actually just a big fan.

Now for a little critique...I'm thinking a brighter pink would have "popped" a bit more. =)

Thanks for stopping by my blog today. Have a wonderful week. =)
