I made all three of these cards today between making meals, baking muffins, attempting to prevent Josie from terrorizing her sister (she may only be 2 and Veronica is 5 ---- but MAN that kid can be a handful!!!!)....you know --- all the usual MOM stuff *wink*
One thing I REALLY enjoy doing is taking a few stamps (or in this case a set of stamps) and either a few sheets of patterned paper or a pack (like the Basic Gray Lily Kate 6x6 pack I used for these cards) along with a few matching embellishments and crank out as many cards as I can in one sitting.
With a little thought and planning they all have some similarities to them but end up totally different! :o)
For the first card I stamped the basket from GinaK's Baskets of Happiness set then colored it in with Copic markers. I then stamped the sentiment and punched a hole with my Making Memories Ribbon slot punch.
I used Baby Blue Stickles on the flowers and the egg for a little "bling", and added a few Prima flowers with black brads.
The ribbon is the new Papertrey Spring Moss grosgrain (I am LOVING PT's new ribbons - seriously LOVING them).
It's rater hard to tell but I sewed around the edge of the Lily Kate patterned paper.....
This card took on a completely different look as I pulled different colors from the paper pack then the previous card.
Again I used Copic markers to color in the pot of flowers, then added a bit of Cinnamon Stickles to the flower centers and to the pot.
The main image was punched out with my Marvy Mega Punch and matted with a Giga Scalloped circle.
The rest of the card was quickly put together - I stamped the sentiment, added some ribbon (this time some Spring Moss Twill), adhered the patterned paper to the card base, then pierced the holes with my paper piercer before adding the main image with dimensionals.
I made the third card using the last image from the Baskets of Happiness set - stamping it and coloring it in with Copic markers.
You can see the slight sparkle on the flowers - I added Grape Ice Ice Stickles to them.
The ribbon is yet again more Papertrey ribbon.
I stitched around the edges of the card base again and added some holes under the sentiment with a paper piercer (kind of hard to tell with the pattern in the paper).

I hope y'all liked these cards! It took me longer than I thought to get this post typed up, I had to stop and prepare supper and feed the girls and now only have a little time left before I have to get them ready for bed. Then I have to study and answer a bunch of questions in my manual for my nail course and make sure to watch LOST and Survivor tonight (they're the only shows I watch and I am SO addicted!!)
Have a great night everyone!
