I just love this card – not entirely sure what to call the fold but it is sort of deconstructed, just held together by the Blushing Bride/Whisper White layers and 4 stampin’ dimensionals! While this is definitely a feminine card, change out the colors and the flower it would be a great fold for a fella as well (note to self – need to make a masculine version to share!!!)

Happy Mother’s Day
Here we are just a few short days from Mother’s Day here in the US. I made todays’ card with Mothers Day in mind but it does not actually have any specific mention of Mothers Day – so it would be perfect for a birthday card as well!
Shoe Box Swap ~ my card
Since I hosted a paper share earlier last month it made me think a lot more about using it instead of saving it. I am not at all sure what I am saving it for, but I just see a sheet that I love and just cannot bring myself to cut into that pristine 12 x 12 piece of loveliness – so my resolution from now on is to use it!
Back in February I was invited to a shoe box swap – never done one before and was not at all sure what I had committed to…….. but once I had, I decided the focus of my card was to be Designer Series Paper! I shared a bunch of cards from other ‘stamper’s in earlier posts.
Shoe Box Swap # 5 ~ Hearts and Home Thinlit Dies
This card uses the very popular Hearth and Home Thinlits Dies which gives us a cozy view from a window at the hills and lake beyond. It also continues my theme of digging into my stash of Designer series paper, this time the Love Blossoms DSP Paper stack which I used a lot for my valentine projects but works very well for this card.

Happy Leap Year Day…………..
Happy Leap Year Day ~ We don’t get the chance to say that very often! I know a couple of people born on February 29th – it is nice to be able to wish them a happy birthday on the actual day.
I shared a card the other day using the ‘What I Love’ exclusive Sale-a-bration stamp set. That card used lovely subtle shades – the card I have to share to day uses the big bold Melon Mambo and Tuxedo Black!!!

Sky is the Limit ~ from Stampin’ Up!
I made this card for my youngest Step-son’s birthday last month, he is all grown up with a wife and babies of his own. Cards for the guys in our lives do not come to me naturally but with this stamp set ‘ Sky is the Limit’ it certainly made it easier to make.
This is one of the exclusive Sale-a-bration stamp sets, which is available until February 15th, more details on how you can get your hands on this one is at the bottom of the post!
Sunburst Sayings ‘ Thank you’ ~ Stampin’ Up!
I am not a great fan of January – after the glitter and shine of the holiday season with Thanksgiving and Christmas the house always looks so quiet and plain. So today’s card uses lovely oranges and yellows and a pop of glimmer paper.
…….. because you are so nice ~ from Stampin’ Up!
This is an unusual card in as much as most of the decoration is on a piece of vellum attached to the front… and it is no ordinary vellum it has a tone-on-tone printing and is another of the exclusive products available for free as part of Sale-a-bration
