So many cards!

I have just been on such a card making kick the last few months. I've been participating in every challenge I can get my hands on.  In between challenges I'm still whipping up cards, the ideas are endless in my head.  Here are a few that I didn't make for challenges but I think turned out beautiful.  For some I used older supplies that I had on hand and others are made with brand new releases that I just couldn't resist.

First is a card I made using some awesome dies and stamped sentiment from My Favorite Things.  This tropical card was so fun to make, from the palm tree to the sunset and those beautiful flamingos.

For this card I used a Martha Stewart floral stamp set that I've had in my stash for a few years and then added a new sentiment die and stamp set by Simon Says Stamp. 

I saw this awesome diecut technique online and just knew I had to give it a try.  First I stamped and watercolored these gorgeous Penny Black flowers on white cardstock then I used a coverup die from Lil' Inker Designs.   I added some dimension buy cutting the die again and doing some creative layering to raise part of the diecut image.

For this card I put my MISTI stamp tool to good use and used a WPlus9 border stamp  to create this multi colored background.  I cut a curved edge from the front of the card using Border Builders die by Lil' Inker Designs, then adhered the smaller cut piece to the inside of the card.   

And last, but not least, I am posting this Mother's Day card a little late.  I thought I had already posted it.  My mother loved this beautiful poppy card using Penny Black stamp and a little butterfly from Kaisercraft.  I did some light stamping in the background and water colored the Poppies with Ranger distress inks. 

Thanks so much for stopping by!
