Happy Birthday: For this card I used Tulip Square Set. I stamped the image and sentiment in a piece of Aida Fabric, this is especial for cross stitch, did I mention that I love cross stitching? I used straight , cross and chain stitches. I waved the ribbon around, positioned on a piece on White CS, then onto a piece of Riding Hood Red and finally onto the card base (Kraft color).

Quick and easy cards

Hello my friends, few days ago I created quick and easy cards. They are simple, no sewing, no pattern paper, just easy and quick. All the images are from smARTworks.

Feel better soon: For this card I used one of the new release sets from smARTworks Tulip Square Set. I stamped the tulips, colored them and them cut them out. I used Water colored pencils and I also used some Ink to color the images. The sentiment is stamped in Certainly Celery.
I took a piece of Riding Hood Red CS and a very thin paint brush so I could get the curl effect on the CS, finally I added a couple of drew drops.



Card Recipe:
Card Stock: Bashful Blue, Riding Hood Red, Su Naturals, White.
Stamps: Tulip Square Set by smARTworks.
Ink: Certainly Celery, Stazon Black.

God is bigger!!: This card is super quick!! I used another new release set from smARTworks Dbl. Dogwood. I stamped the flowers on the lower corner and colored it a little bit with regular colored pencils.I added a bit of Gold Stickles. The sentiment was stamped in Certainly Celery and Basic Brown. The part stamped on Basic Brown was positioned with a piece of Riding Hood Red and Dimensionals.

Card Stock: Bazzill White, SU Riding Hood Red, Pink Pirouette (inside)
Stamps: Dbl. Dogwood by smARTworks.

Rejoicing with you: For this card I used another new release set Buttoned Up. I stamped the flowers direct onto the White CS and also onto Pattern Paper. Then I cut out the flowers from the Patter paper and positioned over the stamped image with Dimensionals.
Every square is 1 1/2". I sponged them a little bit with Riding Hood Red Ink.
I added a couple of Clear Rhinestones on the upper corner and some ribbon on the sentiment panel.
