I don't know who made the last card, but I do remember speaking with her.  She used washi tape on an extra piece of cs so the texture wouldn't show through.  I think it's a great masculine card.

Happy Stamping!  Mary

CAS Butterfly CASE

Original White on White

Calypso Sponged Wings

Textured White Butterflies

I just love this card!  I totally CASE'd this card by Karren.  It was a winner of the SUO Get Well Card challenge.  She lists all the supplies so I won't bother.   I really like Clean And Simple (CAS) cards.

First Cheryl and I copied the card exactly.  She thought it was too white and we tried embossing the white butterflies with the fancy fan TIEF.  I also tried sponging the wings.  My photo's dark because I was losing sunlight, sorry.

I think I like Karen's version best, or maybe the textured version.  What do you think?  We also tried it with rhinestones, but I like the pearls better.

Happy Stamping!  Mary
p.s. Happy Birthday Mom!

Good Times with a Good Friend

My friend Cheryl and I got together and she showed me some cards she made.  The last one was her version of a swap from Convention I showed her.  It uses the magical masking tape technique.  I had told her how to do it and she said it was very easy!  I can't wait to try it.  We even had time to stamp a little.  I'll show you those cards Monday.

Happy Stamping!  Mary

Isn't this great?

Love using the Quatrefancy dsp window sheet as a window!

just love this card!  I'll have to get some of that shiny silver cs!

At Convention SU gave us a sneak peak at some new product.  The thinlit dies, which make swing cards sooo easy, was one of them.  Well, they are available to order!  Click on the link on my sidebar or CLICK HERE and scroll down to learn more about these amazing thinlits.

His/Her Class Cards

Masculine Card #1

 I got my idea for this card from our Stampin' Success magazine, and changed it slightly.  Theirs was just a vanilla card, which looked good.  I made mine a basic gray card & added a candy dot to step it up a little.  You can see how I changed it a little more, adding color, for my Convention swap.

SUPPLIES:
sets - By the Tide, Teeny Tiny Wishes
cs - 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" basic grey card and 3@ 1-3/8" basic gray squares, 2@ 5-1/4" x 4" very vanilla and 3@ 1-1/4" vanilla squares
ink - basic grey pad
access - neutrals candy dots, dimensionals

Masculine Card #2

 I was going to make this card for a second swap for Convention, but I ran out of time.  I did make a bunch for my husband to use for his 50th b-day ty's.  I made some slightly different versions, but settled on this one.

SUPPLIES:
sets - Six-Sided Sampler
cs - 11" x 4-1/4"  and scraps very vanilla, 2@ 4" x 3/4" Modern Medley dsp
ink - basic black pad
access - Big Shot & hexagon TIEF, dimensionals

 These cards didn't turn out like I pictured them in my mind, but I still like them.  Everyone's turned out unique - gotta love that!

Feminine Card #2

I just love this card.  I was inspired by this card that my friend, Shelagh, gave me. Sometimes a simple technique such as stamping off can have such a big effect!
