Honey Bear and Flowers Designed 2 Delight cards

Hello and welcome.  I was a DT member for Designed 2 Delight way back in the day.  Unfortunately, the artist is no longer with us, but I still adore her creative stamps.  So I'm sharing a couple cards using D2D stamps as the focus:

I find this little honey bear to be just so delightful.  The background is made with a cloud stencil, fussy cut the image, and added the sentiment from from Cardz TV Sweet Sayings.

My second card features a mouse party.  Added a little ribbon and black string for interest.

Thank you for stopping by and have a great day!

My cards meet the following challenges: Make My Monday: Birthday, A Perfect Time to Craft: Anything Goes, Crafts Galore Encore: Anything Goes, Crafty Animals: Anything with an Animal, and Critter Crazy: Anything goes with a Critter.

Deck the Halls with From the Heart

Hello all and Happy Hump Day.  Today I'm sharing my card using the From The Heart Stamp of the Month:

I LOVE this image!  And hopefully it's not too "masculine."  So, that's my short share today.  I wish you a wonderful week!

Cornucopia with From the Heart Stamps

Hello all and Happy Thursday!  Today I'm sharing a card featuring the From the Heart Stamp of the Month:

As usual, since I mail out my cards, I'm going with a simple, flat design.  And of course, if you don't know how the FTH Stamp of the Month works, I highly encourage you to check it out!  It's always a win - win just for entering!

Coffee Understands with From The Heart.

Hello all and Happy Tuesday.  I'm so excited that I finally get to play along with this week's From The Heart Stamps I Heart Sketches #121 with an optional twist of keeping it flat - so I did both, since flat cards are my fave:

I've been dying to use this FTH Birdbrain Needs Coffee stamp.  And this is the sketch:

And in case you didn't know, anyone who plays along gets $1 to the FTH shop!  So you win no matter what!

Hello Pumpkin with From The Heart Stamps

Hello all and Happy Thursday!  Today I'm sharing my card using the From the Heart Stamp of the Month:

This will be perfect for my Mom's Halloween/Fall themed card.  Once again, very simple design.  That's all for now.  Thanks so much for stopping by!

Snowman with From the Heart Stamps

Hello all and Happy Tuesday!  Today I'm sharing my entry for the current Stamp of the Month at From the Heart Stamps.  And it's a real cutie!

As usual, nothing too fancy, and I try my best to go for flat mailings.  Especially since I hate to think what my cards with embellishments would look like after the USPS gets a hold of them - especially during the holidays.  Also, I just want to share that there are more snowmen being released at From the Heart Stamps for only $1 each!  OK, that's it for me today.  Have a wonderful day.

Floating with From the Heart Stamps

Hello all and Happy Hump Day!  Trying to get in at the last minute with the From the Heart Stamp of the Month!

My coloring seems really bold....but it's already in the mail so no changing it out now.  What's funny is I live in the desert....so the only floating we do is in the bathtub!  That's it for now.  Have a wonderful day and thank you for stopping by.

Prickles with From the Heart

Hello all and Happy Tuesday!  Nothing like being last minute, but I really want to join in with the From the Heart Stamp of the Month:

Now really....how cute is this little guy?!  I'm making a few more flat cards to send out - they really are so much more postal friendly - but lack in dimension, but hopefully it will be the thought that counts.  Anyway, thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day.

Birthday Birdies with From The Heart Stamps

Hello all and Happy Thursday!  Today I am sharing a card using the From the Heart Stamp of the Month:

Just a little birthday card for my Mom - the image reminded me of a mama and child.  That's all for today.  Thanks so much for stopping by!  This meets the following challenges: One Sweet Challenge: Things with Wings, Party Time Tuesdays: Anything Goes, and Through The Craft Room Door: Anything Goes.

Little Pig Thank You with FTHS

Hello all and Happy Tuesday!  Today I'm sharing a card featuring the From The Heart Stamp of the Month using this week's I {heart} Card Sketch (#106).  So I'm "killing two birds with one stone" although I don't know why anyone would want to kill a bird.  Unless it's a turkey....I really like turkey legs.

First, I LOVE the FTH Pigs.  Second, I LOVE CAS cards and this weeks sketch is a definite CAS.  Plus, the twist is a two word sentiment - check!  So that's it for today.  Have a wonderful week!

Easter in Orange with From the Heart

Hello all and Happy Monday!  Today I'm sharing an Easter card using the From the Heart Stamp of the Month:

Again, I didn't go with a sentiment only because I felt it was pretty obvious.  Going CAS - simply because it's much easier to mail.  Not sure why, but I really wanted lots of orange.  And if you don't know how the From the Heart Stamp of the Month progressive challenge works, I highly encourage you to learn all about it!!

Easter Bunny with From the Heart

Hello all and Happy Thursday...or what I call Almost Friday.  I've been wanting to join in on the From The Heart Stamps weekly I {heart} Card sketches, and finally have a chance to participate.

I'm using the adorable little Easter Bunny.  I think his face is so sad and want to give him a big ol' cuddle.  Well, I am a bunny lover - but unfortunately can no longer raise them due to allergies.  Anyway, great sketch this week!  Thanks so much for stopping by!

Happy Bird with From The Heart Stamps

Hello all and Happy Monday!  Today I woke to freezing temperatures - after a week of beautiful spring like weather.  Oh well, I'm not going to complain.  Anyway, I want to share my entry on the From The Heart Stamp of the Month.

A little different for me.  I wanted her to be bright, and I was following Cely's lead with the white die cuts and Catherine's wonderful one word sentiment: happy.  I don't feel I really pulled it off like these talented ladies, but I gave it a go.  And if you don't know about the progressive challenge at From The Heart Stamps, you are missing out!  That's it from me today.  Thanks for stopping by!  My card meets the following challenges: ABC Challenge: D is for Die cut, and Crafts Galore Encore: Use a Stamp or Digi.

Little Snow Guy with From The Heart Stamps

Hello all and Happy Friday!  I hope you have had a wonderful week.  Today I'd like to share a card I made using From The Heart's Stamp of the Month:

So this is officially my first Christmas card made for 2015!  I didn't even get all my 2014 cards out, so hopefully this year I will be more organized and actually get my cards in the mail.  Anyway, my sentiment is from Stampin' Up's Short & Sweet.

Just a little close up so hopefully you can see the glittery snow.  I don't take glitter lightly - plus it's so messy, but I'm trying to break out a little from super CAS style and add a little sparkle every now and then.  Maybe.  Anyway, check out their blog to learn all about the Stamp of the Month.

Ornament Angel with From The Heart Stamps

Hello all and Happy Friday!  Today I'm sharing a card using From The Heart's Stamp of the Month:

This is just adorable and just in time for card making for Christmas

The image is inset - never tried this before but I think it worked out ok.  I used tons of pop dots, so if there is an easier technique to this, please share!  That's all from me today.  I wish you a wonderful weekend!

Catching Flakes with From The Heart Stamps

Hello all and Happy Friday!  Today I'm sharing a card for this weeks From the Heart I Heart Sketches Challenge.

In this one, you can pick any past sketch and I'm going with sketch 069.  You can barely see my sentiment, but I'm using Stampin' Up's Teeny Tiny Wishes.  Maybe I should have gone with white?

Of course I need more Christmas cards, so since all my Fall cards are done, yup, I'm starting on Christmas.  My image is the adorable Catching Flakes.  Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend!

Apple Stand with From The Heart Stamps

Hello all and Happy Monday!  Today I'm sharing a card using From The Heart's Stamp of the Month:

I'm case-ing a shaker card from Cely - who always does such fun techniques, and I needed something to get me out of my A2 rut.  I just love that little birdie on top of the banner.  And if you don't know how the From the Heart Stamps progressive challenge works, I highly suggest you visit their blog for more info!

Pig Out Birthday with From The Heart Stamps

Hello all and Happy Thursday!  I thought I'd play along with this weeks sketch at From the Heart.

I'm using FTH's Hamlet PigWit Pig Out stamp and sentiment.  Hopefully it doesn't look too Christmas-y.  I went with the red sequins to go along with the cherries on top of the cupcakes.  Well, I gave it my best shot!

This is the sketh - I forgot about the twist part.  And if you play along, you get a prize just for entering!  Check the blog for all the details.  This meets the following challenges: Through the Craft Room Door: Anything Goes, Try it on Tuesday: Animals, The Cutie Pie Challenge: All the Threes, and Crafty Bloggers Network: Anything Goes.

Birthday Birds with From The Heart Stamps

Hello and a very Happy Friday!  Yay, weekend time.  Today I want to share a birthday card using From The Heart's Stamp of the Month:

I made this on time but of course I'm running late in sending this out to my brother for his 45th birthday!  Wow....he keeps getting older, and I stay at a steady 39 years old.  Poor guy.

Piggy Halloween with From the Heart

Hello all and Happy Tuesday!  Today I'm sharing my first Halloween card using the From the Heart Stamp of the Month.

This little pig is the cutest.  I've never been a big Halloween person, but Beanie makes me want to celebrate, decorate, and make cards!  She LOVES Halloween.  So thanks Faith (at FTH) for the perfect stamp this month!
