March 


Well, I made it back to blog again!  I'm still getting used to doing this, so your patience is appreciated!

Here are some cards that we did in March.

Southwestern Masculine Birthday Card

In this card we used Midnight Muse(126843), Cajun Craze(119684), Parker's Patterns Designer Series paper (131021)
and Whisper White (100730)card stock.  
Stamp: Itty Bitty Banners (wood mount-126255) (clear mount -126257)
Ink:  Midnight Muse (126860)
Tools:  Big Shot  machine (113439), Bitty Banners Framelits (129267), Argyle (127750) and Chevron (127749)embossing folders, paper piercing tool (126189)and Stampin' Pierce mat (126199) and Dimensionals (104430).

Embellishment:  Midnight Muse Stitched Satin ribbon (126847), Silver Mini Brads (122941)

It was a very simple card to put together.  I don't know about you, but I find it hard to create many masculine cards!


Serene Silhouette in Black and White

I cased this card from another demonstrator because it was so beautiful!  I changed just a few things on it.  You can't really tell from the photo, but there are rhinestones at the base of each flower and on each side of the message.
Stamps:  Serene Silhouettes (wood mount -127322) (clear mount - 127324) and Teeny Tiny Wishes (wood mount- 115370) (clear mount - 127802)

Just Because Butterflies 

I loved this card that I totally cased from Demonstrator Dawn Griffith.  I made small changes from her card, but here's what I did:
Card Stock:  Tangerine Tango (111349)  Whisper White(100730), Sycamore Street Designer Series paper (SAB)
Ink:  Tangerine Tango (126946)
