Crazy Friendship Card

 I hope you are having a good start to the new year.

Vicky here, and I wanted to start  2025 with some humor. 

I started out with the saying, Grateful For Crazy.  

I put the card on scrap paper and marked the center.

I stamped the Flower Border center where I marked the center on the top and bottom.

I could use this saying for all of my friends, LOL

Thanks for taking a look.

Coffee And Beautiful Flowers

I am reintroducing a designer we had in our group a few years ago. Her name is Olesya Andreyeva. . She will be an independent designer, designing as she is able.

This is the first card she has designed for us.

This is what Olesya wrote:

 “ When I was a kid my grandma had a very beautiful tea/coffee set of dark green cups with purple flowers, they also had golden borders. I was a fascinated viewer, because grandma didn’t let me take these cups. Several years ago my grandma served the table with these cups and was so casual like we didn’t have that prohibition to use the set :D. It encouraged me to make this coffee-themed card 🤭💜.

For the card, I used the Morning Glory set of 5 (watercolored), “Coffee cup top view,” and “Procaffeinating” for the sentiment.

Embossed Floral Sympathy Card

Hello, my friends!  Toni here with you today sharing a sympathy card.

I stamped the Hydrangea Lg image in the corner of a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock then watercolored it using Zig Real Brush Markers.

Next I used the stamp itself as a mask and spattered the card front using Peerless Gold Watercolor Paint. Once that air-dried (I didn't want to warp the panel using my heat gun--eeee), I stamped the Heartfelt Sympathy sentiment using Versafine Clair Nocturne.  

I felt the plain version was too plain but because it was a sympathy card I didn't want to get too blingy.  3D embossing to the rescue!

Thank You Card With Beautiful Flowers

 Hello, this is Janet with a pretty fall thank you card.

First, I stamped the Flowers with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored them with copic markers and cut them out. I used a soft brush and colored the white cardstock lightly with yellow and red ink.

Then, I cut a wavy edge on the white cardstock and attached it to paper with a leaf pattern. I added a thin gold cord to accent the wavy cut.

Choose colored cardstock for the background - a lot of options here, but I settled for green. Added the sentiment to the bottom of the colored card stock. I assembled my card and added a few dew drops.
