A Few Cards

Thought I would show off a few cards I made for a card swap over at OSU. For someone who is just starting to get into card making, I really like how they turned out. I have gotten hooked on all the stamps and stuff from Close To My Heart and have found that I just don't use the stamps enough in my scrapbooking layouts so figured I better start making cards so I could "justify" buying all those cute stamps!!

This first card is one I came up with all on my own. Colored in the flower stamp with water color pencils and used diamond glaze to make the centers kind of "pop". I got the idea for this second card straight out of the CTMH catalogue. Stamped the flowers directly on the tag and then stamped them a second time on a seperate piece of card stock, cut them out and used pop dots for the 3-d effect.

This last card was a lift from a card that our CTMH Consultant Lisa made, I love it sooooo much that I had to make some. Pretty simple, punched from butterflies using a Martha Stewart punch, used stickles on the bodies and used a border punch along the bottom....easy peasy!!
