Simple Card Designs

Hello! I'm back home after our travels last week. I even got all of the laundry done (and folded) already! Now I just need to get my house cleaned.

We've been away from home so much I still haven't had any time to get scrappy! I miss it so much. So, today I'm going to share a few more cards that I made recently. 

In case you are new to my blog, I use a lot of paper scraps for my cards. It's always fun when I find two unrelated scraps that look great together. I'm not sure of the paper line...That's the downside to using scraps, I guess.

The design is easy, dividing the card into four equal pieces with a thin space around and between each piece, rounding all of the corners. The sentiment is StampinUp! I used the SU scalloped punch around the sentiment and again to matt it in dark brown, offsetting it from the stamped layer. Then, I cut a larger scalloped circle with Cricut Accent Essentials.

Again, nothing fancy here. These are simple cards, with no embossing or special techniques. I like fancy techniques, but no time for that lately. I used the same paper, and the same sentiment. I punched a small hole in top and bottom of the sentiment and threaded the ribbon through it....easy!

Thanks for looking! Hope to be back with some fun scrappy layouts sometime soon!

More cards to share

Hello friends! Happy Wednsday. I have some more cards to share with you today so I'll get right to it.

This first one is my favorite of the three. It was designed for my parents 56th anniversary!! I don't know if I shared before that my son Joel was married on their anniversary on August 7. So while I was making the wedding card, I was making an anniversary card for my parents. Kind of special, right?? I love that they will share their anniversaries. Anyway, back to the card....Everything was cut with my Cricut machine "Sweethearts" cartridge. All of the layers are included and cut to size. I sprayed the nest with brown smooch spray to give it a dirty, sparkly look. The red heart has some flocking. This was my 2nd attempt using flocking. First time was not as cute. =)

This one is a sympathy card for my son's girlfriend who lost her Grandmother. I used a sketch from "Clean and Simple" blog. The tree is a Stampin Up stamp.
The last one is really the same sketch I used for the sympathy card, except this one is a baby girl card. It was quick and easy.
Thanks for looking. I appreciate all of the great comments I've received on my blog lately!!! It's always nice to know that somebody is inspired!
