The Diploma stamp is a great one to have on hand. I seem to get a graduation announcement every year. I paired it with the Congratulations stamp.   I kept my card fairly simple because I know most graduates just want the money that is inside.  I know that's an awful assumption!  I tied a bit of twine around the diploma.

DeNami MAY Inspired by: Tina M

May Inspired by.... Tina M.

You can see her original post and entire card by visiting her blog. 

I kept my color scheme exactly like Tina's. Why mess with something that looks so good!  Black and White with a touch of grey.  I stamped the flower bloom across the white cardstock in black ink.  I colored the flower in with a grey marker and added some extra fine glitter to the center of the flowers. I used black and white gingham paper and twine to add more of the color combo to the card.  It's hard to see but I stamped the solid grass stamp in grey at the base of the flowers. The white cardstock layer was embossed using circle interlock folder. 

DeNami May Blog Hop: Sky's the Limit!

Welcome to the May DeNami Blog Hop:  Sky's the Limit!

I'm first on the hop! If you get lost along the way you can always check the DeNami Blog for the list of participants.

As always, I feel the hardest part of making a card is choosing which stamps to use.  Sky's The Limit works for insects, balloons, birds, rainbows, clouds, hot air balloon, rockets, airplane, helicopter etc... I'm lucky enough to own all of those!  I narrowed it down to this pretty set of butterflies. Fancy Flutters is a cling set, all 5 of these stamps are included. I stamped them each on to cardstock vellum using versamark ink and white embossing powder. 

I layered the butterflies onto some older basics grey 6x6 patterned paper,. and added some PPP sequins. 

Your next stop on the hop is to visit DEB.

DeNami Product Spotlight: Little Fawn

DeNami Product Spotlight: Little Fawn.

I stamped the super cute little fawn stamp three times across the cream cardstock.  Just a note was stamped in a rust SU color.  Solid grass was stamped in green onto green cardstock and cut out.  I added some pretty patterned paper, a button tied on with twine and some fun ribbon. 

Make sure to visit the DeNami Blog and see the other fun cards made with this cute little fawn.

Sequin Shaker Blog Hop

Paulina at Pretty Pink Posh is hosting a FUN blog hop -- Sequin Shaker Cards!!
My parents have been in town for almost 3 weeks, so I didn't think I was going to get a chance to participate, we've been busy!  They left this morning, so I squeezed this card in.

Mothers Day is in a few weeks, but it's always a busy week at my house.  My son and I both have birthdays the week of Mothers Day.  This card is for my mom, she likes pink!  I used the spring time mix sequins from Pretty Pink Posh for my shaker card.    The Mom sentiment stamp is from DeNami. 

Hope you are inspired to break out your sequins and make a card!

DeNami April Inspired By....Barb!

Barb made this gorgeous card. You can see the full post HERE.

So, I was challenged in many ways on this card, but I loved every second of it.  I normally don't "tilt" any of my paper, use vellum, tie twine around ribbon, etc. etc.  I love that this card helped me get out of my comfort zone.  It's still way more simple than Barb's original card, but I was inspired in many ways... which is the point.  I used 2 stamps from the whimsical garden set.  The 1st is easy to see, flower stamped onto the white tag.  The other is the dotted circle I stamped on the yellow paper.  You're the best was stamped & embossed in white onto the vellum.  I didn't like how the sentiment didn't show much, so I colored the back of the vellum with a pink copic.  Added some pretty pink posh sequins, twine, and ribbon.  So FUN!  I really wanted to add the doily, but it would have covered up the pretty patterned paper so I left it out.
