Hello my friends,
I hope you are all off to a wonderful week.  OMG! it was so HOT... here in Southern California yesterday, it was in the high 80's/90's.  I'm so ready for the cold weather!!

My card for today is a sketch from Clean & Simple.  I used the Heart Framelits die to cut the heart and expose the Concord Crush from the bottom layer and then used the adorable Fashionable Hearts Embosslits Die for the rest of the hearts.  

Lately my style of cards have been the clean and simple look.  I think they can be very elegant looking and can be mass produced fairly quick.   Do you have a style and if so what is it??? 

Thank you for stopping by today my friends! Have a fantastic day and keep on crafting.

I used the Scallop Trim Border punch for the border and 

the Neutrals Designer Paper Stack, the sentiment is from 

the One in a Million Clear-Mount stamp set which you 

can purchase from my Online store HERE!

I used Concord Crush(sorry retired) but you can use 

your favorite color instead of Concord Crush.  The base 

of the card is a standard A2 base  4-1/4" X 5-1/2"

The wreath and burlap I got from a local craft store for about $4.99 with a coupon.  I used the Stampin' Up! Hearts Framelits Die and die cut some felt hearts to create the shamrocks on the wreath and added a little bling to the center.

with a shamrock behind the handing ribbon. I also used some Brights Collection buttons with Lucky Limeade Twine.

The Fancy box die was used to create this treat box which was inspired by the one Stampin' Up! gave us at Leadership!! I borrowed the chocolate from that box for this one LOL!! I had no treats in my house, I know shocking!!!

I used our mini clothes pin and covered it with DSP and added bling, then I used our punches to create more interest to the front and more...bling and some Daffodil Delight Ribbon. The DSP is already embossed but hard to see with the photo.

Finally, the box is covered with another DSP Fancy Box.  I then left  some Whisper White showing! Super easy and simply to make with very little sticky strip!! Enjoy

OK, so today I have a very simple card totally inspired by Paper Source a magazine that I get in the mail.  Thank you for visiting and until next time, Enjoy this card!!

I used our Simply Score Tool to create some 

scored edges around the card!

The hearts are die cut using the Framelits {Heart Collection} and created a clothes line to hang the hearts and bird.

This is the inside of the card.  I added the smallest heart 

from the framelits{Heart Collection}
