It is a while since I last posted news on my blog.  Those of you who know me or have been following me for a while know that I work for one of the biggest retail tax preparation services in the US – and Jan 1st thru April 18th this year I have been helping the nation prepare and file their 2015 tax returns!!!

While I had time to write posts I did not have time to make anything to share with you on a regular basis – but now I am back with some cards and other paper projects to share……. I hope you enjoy them – feel free to comment.

This is one of the cards we made for April’s card class, I chose lovely soft colors that later appeared to be very ‘Spring’ like and during the class I mused with some of the ladies about other seasons it might work for.  So my next couple of posts feature these cards.

 

The card features a masking technique and was shared by Jan B – a UK SU demonstrator.  I used the teeny tiny little stamps that form part of the Botanical Blooms stamp set and the greeting is from Sassy Salutations (this set is retiring on May 31st – so you need to order soon not to be disappointed.)

Card Base:  11 x 4 1/4 Thick Whisper White card ~ scored at 5 1/2

Layer 1: 5 1/4 x 4 So Saffron Card

Layer 2: 5 x 3 3/4 Whisper White (regular card weight)

Ink Colors: So Saffron, Soft Sky, Pear Pizzazz and Pink Pirouette.

The little blossoms were cut with the Itty Bitty Punch Pack, a little clear Wink of Stella on each one along with a pearl embellishment.

Summer:

 

I just love these colors! I think this would make a great graduation card, or maybe engagement, wedding or anniversary congrats!

All the dimensions are the same as the ‘Spring’ card but layer 1 is in Wild Wasabi card.

Ink Colors:  Bermuda Bay, Melon Mambo, Blushing Bride and Wild Wasabi.

Look out for my next post when I will share Autumn and Winter!
