Simple but effective~I hope!

Hello! Hope your weekend is going nicely!
I know your probably came to see what I've colored, but sometimes a girl just has to make a few simple cards to have on hand or so she's not late with birthday wishes! Here are two I've made recently. This one uses an SU background plaid stamp that I have always loved. The flower is a Spellbinders nestability. The embossed background is a Sizzix folder (sorry, I don't know the name) More details below!

I cased Dawn McVey, one of Papertrey Inks designers. The flower center is a freebie (with 11 other circle images) for their recent anniversary celebration. It took some looking to find it so I want to link it up HERE for you if you are interested. Scroll down the post until you see Free download.

I used a white card base, some PTI Hawaiin Shores and SU dotted paper from the Regals collection. The script stamp for the blue is an old one from SU. Wonderful ribbon from S"U finished off the flower.

Thanks for coming by today-I hope you aren't too disappointed-I really love all kinds of 'stamping' and papercrafting. Hope you do too!

Hugs, Cheryl

FS159 CAS CASE AND a WINNER!!

Hello!! I just had to join in on the Featured Stamper challenge today! She had this terrific clean and simple card that shouted out to me!

My great stampin' friend, Lisa and I were just at our LSS on Friday. I had this stamped picked up to purchase AGAIN!! Yep, I remembered in time that I (thought) I had it at home already. Lisa agreed and I was so pleased to find it quickly when I got home! This bunny is so cute, but I don't need TWO!!



Now I had a whopping 269 comments on my card for Mo's Celebration Blog hop (post HERE) last Tuesday so here is my winner of this image:

Tilda and Edwin AND CAS

Hi and welcome to the Blog Hop where the Magnolia-licious design team is showcasing our efforts at Clean and Simple Cards. It's a litttle hard to get your mind around,but once you get going it's kind of fun!
The hop started at Kerry's excellent blog-Three Clovers Designs, so you may want to start there to be certain you see all the samples. Youwould have arrived here fromthe fabulous Becca at Amazing Paper Grace
I CASEd Kerry for this one. She showed us a similar layout witht he ribbon tags and I used it! Thanks, Kerry! I think I've said before how much I love this Tilda-she is a three season gal! I had her colored up ahile ago when I made another card (I'll check for the post when I get a chance-colors may be listed there!) Many of the new Tildas have bigger eyes. I like that look so when I finished this (older) Tilda I used my black copic pen to enlarge and darken her eyes. It can add a real pop to them. I darkened Edwin's below because they just didn't stamp as dark as I like them. Try it!

I actually made this Edwin card before the Tilda. I think it shows you CAN use dp on a CAS card. I just kept the layers and "scenery" to a minimum. You know I love my dp.

For Edwin I used copics:

E000, E01, E93

BG10. BG72, BG0000.

YG01, YG25

E43, E25

Y17, YR15, YR16, YR18 ( I TRIED to keep the number of colors to a minimum, too!)

thanks for visiting! Your next stop on your travels will be the wonderful

SHARON!! When you're finished, please head to the Magnolia-licious highlites blog for the details on winning a Magnolia stamp! If you make your own CAS card that's what you could win!
