Artist Trading Card: Happy Day in Spring

I love this card! Not long ago, I was in a swap where we made 2" x 2" Artist Trading Cards (ATC) This ATC was created by one of the ladies in our group. I layered it onto Whisper White cardstock and then onto Crisp Cantaloupe and stamped the happy day sentiment on it from the Happy Day stamp set. People use ATC's to layer onto a card base, like I did. In addition ATC's can be used in an array and showcased in a window box. I love how quickly I can take an ATC can create a card with it. Fun, fun, fun!

It's Retiring...A Happy Day

I made this card using the Delicate Doilies,  a retiring fun stamp set. Sadly, it is no longer available..but I've got a nice used clear one that will be available for purchase on June1st. I stamped happy day from the retiring Happy Day stamp set(130294 wood) (130297 clear) using black StazOn ink.

I love that the Designer Series paper is two-sided. Here is the same card with the flip side of the paper from the first card. On this one I layered a large pearl on a button. I love what a pearl does to a button. Super cute!! This card could be used for a birthday card, a thank you, a thinking of you. I think the possibilities are endless.

It's A Sassy Salutations Birthday!



 What a busy weekend! It started with a birthday celebration for my youngest who turned 8 on Friday. Follow that with 2 baseball games on Saturday for my boys and a Pre-Mother's Day Luncheon for me, leading to today's 2 soccer games for the boys. We had lots going on and if I'm being honest...I enjoy every moment of it.

I totally cased this card from Sandi MacIver. I tried two different versions. I'll start by first sharing hers. I fell in love with this card and knew my little guy would love it too. He opened it and smiled and pretended to blow out the candles. I thought it was so cute!

For this card I cut the In Color Designer Series paper at 2" x 3". Check out Sandi's blog for step by step details.

 The second version of this same card was a bit quicker with less bit of pizazz... but still quite cute! For this one I cut the In Color Designer Series paper at 3" x around 1/2" and stuck them on with dimensionals.I used the Sassy Salutations stamp set #126705 (wood) #126707 (clear) for both and inked it in Midnight Muse.
