ILCS49 – Grateful for You Card Design

Using this week’s card making template over at i Love Card Sketches I came up with another card design.  I started with For All Things, a beautiful watercolor-inspired stamp set.  Then I added a strip of patterned paper from the Typeset Specialty Designer Paper collection and a smaller strip from Neutrals Designer Paper Stack.  The Basic Black […]

DIY Birthday Cards – Happy Birthday Everyone

I like clean and simple DIY birthday cards, and this one sure is!  You could even leave off the back layer if you wanted, I thought it still looked great.

Greeting Card Sentiments – ILCS40

When they’re big and bold, why not position your greeting card sentiments front and center and make them the focal point of your handmade card designs? I did just that on today’s card, using the motivational quote as the main element.  I even embossed it to be sure it stood out strong! 🙂  The Circles […]
