Groundhog Day

Today the news referred the today's US debt debate as another Groundhog Day in Washington, DC. Keeping with that theme, I thought I would post yesterday's card in the yellow version I forgot to put up last night. There is a new card in the works, but I can't share details yet because the glitter on the background mat is still drying. If the mat doesn't dry as flat as I am hoping for it will completely derail my plan for the card, but, I'm hopeful that you will see a new card by August 2nd that meets my objective of using up more of my excess of pink card stock that I have been avoiding.

As always, click on the images for full directions including the stamps used and paper sizes.

Pink Flower Soft Leafy Branch

Here's a card I made using Flower Soft. You can do something similar with almost any branch. This one happened to be the right size and full enough to fill the front a card. On the surface it's fairly simple and straight forward to make, it's just a matter of creatively bringing the background, ribbon and die cuts together into a nice card, which isn't always so easy to accomplish. I leave the insides of these blank since they can be used almost any occasion.

Massive March Update

I've been too busy creating cards and neglicting the blogs so here's a massive update of what I got done in March before I start putting April's creations online (if I can stop making new stuff long enough to do that) and fall 2 months behind. Click any of the images to go my website and get full directions for any of these cards.

	This is a Stampin' Up stamp set colored with Copic markers. Click on any of the card images for more details.
	Same card as before, but turned in a Birthday Card and on a slightly darker red because I was out of the lighter color.
	"Leftover" paper from my previous Easter card turned into a quick and simple Easter card.
	After a year of seeing it advertised in magazines, one of the local scrapbooking stores finally got FlowerSoft. It's very simply to use, just apply glue where you want it and sprinkle it on!
	More playing with Copic markers and the first belated birthday I have ever made.
	A different design created to play with my new Flower Soft!
	Almost the same as before but with the Spring Flower Soft and a Birthday sentiment.
