Stray Ducklings Calendar of Cards April & May

Well, silly me! I missed 2 months worth of cards! 😞 This cute little bunny card was April's Calendar of Cards submission. It was designed by Darlene Anstett. It's amazing what you can create with framelits and punches. This cutie was made by using the Layering Oval Framelits, the 1", 1/2" & 1 3/8" Circle punches, Sweet & Sassy Framelits    & the Owl Builder punch.  The finishing touch is the Blushing Bride Satin Ribbon bow.

May's card was designed by Christine Thomas. Chris used Vertical Greetings & Touches of Texture stamp sets, the Petal Burst embossing folder and Linen Thread. I just love the soft colors Chris chose for this card and those vertical greetings are awesome!

Valentine's Day Swap Cards

Good morning all :) I hope you are enjoying your weekend. Here in Illinois, it's been cold - not as cold as it could be in January, but that wind yesterday was frigid! It sure makes it hard to do horse chores, but it's nice that the horses can be let out to the pasture since the ground is frozen again. There was a lot of running, bucking & playing going on yesterday. Then needed to burn off some freshness!

Today's cards are still courtesy of our Stray Ducklings swap. 

This settle beauty was created by Sue Boerner from Normal, IL

Anniversary Card

Good morning stampers! It is really humid here in Illinois today. The forecast is stormy so it's a great day to be in the craft room.

Today I'd like to share the card I made for hubby for our anniversary.

I started with a Night of Navy cardstock base. I stamped one of the Timeless Textures stamps on the background  with Night of Navy ink and wrapped it in a piece of Dapper Denim Ruched Ribbon. 

I cut out one of the Layering Circle Framelit Dies in Chocolate Chip CS using my Big Shot. I also cut out one of the Sweet & Sassy Framelit Dies from the Affectionately Yours DSP with the Big Shot. I heat embossed the numbers from the Number of Years stamp set  in Copper Stampin' Emboss Powder and cut them out with the Large Numbers Framelits on the Big Shot. 

The Happy Anniversary Sentiment is also from the Number of Years stamp set; stamped in Chocolate Chip ink inside the Thoughtful Banners stamp and punched out with the Duet Banner Punch. The "I Love You" sentiment in the card is also from the Thoughtful Banners stamp set. 

I hope you've enjoyed today's card. Have a wonderful day. 

Happy Stamping!
