Happy Saturday!!!  It's Maureen here with some Fresh Squeezed inspiration.

I have a simple and easy to reproduce card for you today using the Tickle My Fancy stamp set.  The sentiment could be switched out or even left off for a nice note card.

Who would you send this card to?  A good friend, your husband, a parent?

TGIF, everyone!  Chunyuan here today.  I have a fresh colored, happy card to share.

The sentiment is from Trendy Triangles set. I masked, stamped the sentiment three times and embossed.  Then I applied various ink while the mask was still on.  I added a few matching color sequins to enhance the happy feel of the card.

Happy Birthday, Subway Style

Hi Val here with a Subway Series birthday card to share today!

The birthday stamp from Subway Series: Basics is stamped in black onto green cardstock.  The stripe stamp from Background Check is stamped onto turquoise cardstock.  Black ink on colored cardstock packs a WOW, especially when it's paired with a white background.

A Little Sunshine

Amy K. here with a bright sunshiny card!  Spring has yet to show off around here so I thought I'd bring Spring here!

Using Weather Through, I've stamped my rays in the pattern I wanted.  Where all the rays connect, I added a fun speech bubble to share my sentiment!  I thought it needed just a little something more so I embellished with a few clear iridescent sequins.

Thanks for stopping by for a piece of SUNSHINE!

Chevron Thanks

Hello, It is Chunyuan here.

I have a one layer stamped card made with Trendy Triangles and Subway Series: Basics.  I stamped the solid and the outline single chevron to point to the message which is part of the thanks block from Subway Series: Basics.

Here are the stamps I used.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and have a great weekend.

Hey!

Val here playing with Breath of Fresh Flair again!   So many fun choices with the stamps in this set.  "Hey" and the lightbulb are just 2 of them.

A little Glossy Accents and a clear button add a little shine to the card.

Thanks for coming by today, drop by tomorrow for more inspiration!

Chevrons!

Hello.......It's Amy K. here today!!!  I don't know why or when but I've come to really really like "chevrons".......they are so trendy and fun!

I've used the small arrow from Trendy Triangles to make my own chevrons! 

I stamped them in the pattern I wanted using white ink and it's ok if they don't stamp perfectly....gives them character!  The sentiment is from You Said It, Sister......LOVE these sentiments!!!

Adding in some flat backed sequins........just look what they add to the card!!!!

Would You Like Some Flowers?

Hello! It's Jingle here with you today excited to share a sweet little card created with the adorable jar from the Breath of Fresh Flair set and a fabulous sentiment from Happy Hexagons!


I stamped the jar onto a chalkboard sticker and smudged the ink a bit to give it a more chalky feel. I added a few tiny resin flowers to finish off the cuteness! YAY!
