Victorine Originals - Any occasion card

Do you ever find that you need a card for something and you don't have the right one?  I do all the time, so I thought I'd make a card that could go for just about anything :)

I used Flower pot with birdhouse from Victorine Originals.  Instead of coloring in the flowers, I used my autumn shade/mix of flower soft.  I added some buttons and bling to give a little something but not too much and the DP is form Close to My Heart.  I have found though, that I really don't have any "fall" papers at all, so I guess I need to do some shopping LOL

Friend Card

I need to create a quick card for a friend tonight so I pulled out my Just because stamp set from one of the Close to My Heart promotions.  I love how elegant this set is and how you can make something really nice without having to do too much with it :)  The paper I used was Perfect Day which is also from Close to My Heart.

Inky Impressions - Sweet little girl frame

My husband's birthday is on the 19th of this month and Abby wanted to make him something.  I let her go through my stuff and she decided to make a frame.  She painted it and from there I too over :)  I used Angelica's bunny hugs from Inky Impressions; I just LOVE these stamps cause they are so cute!!

For the rest of the frame all did was add some ribbon around a couple of corners and some flowers with bling on the remaining one.

CC Designs - Thinking of your Card

i sat down tonight and created some cards for another round in the More than Paper Shoes forum swap that is ending soon.  I wanted something that was sweet and had the "thinking of you" look to it, so I pulled out my Swiss Pixies stamp "Heidi Among the Flowers".  She looked so innocent and had the look I was going for.

The paper and cardstock is from Close to My Heart, ribbon and flowers are from my stash and I added some dew drops to the centers of the flowers.  The sentiment is stamped on the inside of the card
