Quick Cards

Hi Everyone!  I think we may be skipping spring and going right into summer.  We've had some chilly weather since the official start of spring, but the temperatures are supposed to soar to 80 degrees by mid-week.  But, by the weekend, we will be 20 degrees cooler.  Crazy weather!  I did clean by window screens and popped them in this weekend since I know the windows will need to be opened this week.

Recently, I needed two quick cards to send to friends I haven't heard from in awhile.  Plus, I like to give the postal service business.  With the advent of email, facebook, texting, etc., sending cards and letters are almost a thing of the past.  I, for one, love to get "happy mail"!  Anyway, these two cards were quick and simple.


Both cards use the same blue cardstock base.  I first stamped leaves randomly with a stamp from Heidi Grace.  The flowers and Prima (love them!) and the butterfly is K&Co.  A hello stamp finished this one.


For the next card, I used EK punches on K&Co paper.  Platinum liquid pearls outline the circular shape.  I spritzed the yellow Prima flowers with Sand Glimmer Mist to tone them down.  Pearls are Recollections.




These were so easy to make using the same basic supplies.  Now, I just need to get them into the mail!  Thanks so very much for stopping by and your sweet comments.  I appreciate them.  Have a wonderful week!

  1. Wow, how dreamy and pretty these are, Patty! Loving the blue card bases and loving all those fabulous flowers! You are so good to make cards to actually mail! LOL! I know what you mean about supporting the postage system.....I'm afraid one day soon they may become totally obsolete!
