Mother's Day Daisys

Ohh my goodness, Mother's Day just keeps creeping closer and closer!! How about another card for inspiration?? The inspiration for this card came from one of the project booklets that DeNami had a while back.

This card was super easy to make! I started with a white square base then layered a fuchsia square in the center. I took a strip of celery cardstock and stamped the chevron from the Modern Borders set then added a narrow strip of the fuchsia in the center and layered it all onto the left side of the fuchsia part of the card base. Onto that I layered a square of the celery then the white square that I had previously stamped with the Mother's Day sentiment and tulips I "built" using the Spring Flowers set. To finish it all off I added glitter to the flowers and a few punched circles from the same cardstocks but it could easily be changed up by using some yummy sequins instead of the punched circles. 

Have a great weekend!!!

framed flowers

Ya know, I really seem to struggle with what to name my posts...and card too for that matter. One would think that's the easy part...sigh. This post and card were no exception! There's flowers, a little "frame" and punched layers...so what would you name it? Do you all struggle with that too or is it just me??

I just love how the new leafy squares fit perfectly inside the trifle blocks stamp...doesn't get better than that!

Have a great day!!

treat bags

Before we start todays post, I have some fun news to share with ya'll! DeNami has truly out done themselves once again. Have you ever needed some insperation, just want to see some lovely eyecandy or wanted to learn a new technique? Well Denami has put all of that right on their website! Just click the "learn" tab on the DeNami homepage. There's idea sheets, tuitorials, card making basics (including a tool list to get you started if you are new to card making), videos and much more all in one easy to use area. Be sure to go check it out...I just LOVE what they came up with and how very helpful it all is.

A while ago my sissy-in-law was condemned to life in bed at the hospital until she delivered my niece and nephew. To cheer her up, I decided to make some little treats for her using the new glassine bags....

Unfortunately or maybe it is fortunate...depends how you look at it, she didn't get the little treats. The night before I was going to give them to her, the doctors decided to bring Lucy & Henry into the world. Things have been a whirlwind since then and hopefully I will get them to her soon :)  I already have plans to make some more for Easter baskets...

Spring is on it's way....FINALLY

Have ya'll had a chance to check out the new DeNami line yet?? The spring release is...dare I say it...Ohh, I dare! Springingly fresh and fun! I know...way cheesey, but ohh so true! Lots of flowers and ways to use them...what fun!!!

I decided to start off with this ADORABLE basket and fill it with pretty little flowers. I know ya'll get tired of me using this color combo...but I puffy heart it!!

I also can't get enough of the new borders / background type stamps...I'm a sucker for those! I was a fussy cutting fool when it came to this card. Yes, I could have just stamped them using a mask, but the deminison I ended up with is too cute.
