I have a very simple card to share, and I think it can be used for just about any occasion... I think I'll whip up a few more of these to have in my stash!

        

      

These cute flowers are one of the "extras" you get with the You're a Hoot Digital Stamp at Tiddly Inks. Some of the digital sets come with additional images, so you really get a bang for your buck!

      

       

     I printed the flower image large enough to fill most of the card front, and colored it with Copics. The white layer is cut with Stitched Rectangle Dies, and matted with bright green cardstock to tie in the color from the flowers. That panel is popped up, and finished off with a little bit of my favorite twine - May Arts Natural Burlap String.

   

        

Flower Centers - Y17, Y15, Y13, Y11, Y00

Flower Petals - T1, C00

I have a little encouragement card to share today using Two Thumbs Up Wryn from Tiddly Inks.

   

          

I colored her with Copics, and paired her with Simple Stories Daily Grind Papers.

         

   

The Polaroid Die and Heart are from retired C.C. Designs sets. All edges are inked with Antique Linen Distress Ink. The sentiment is from YNS Photo Booth - All Smiles.

It's my turn to share some June Release Inspiration over on the Your Next Stamp Blog!

I am featuring the new Tweet Spring Birds set!

   

  

This set is ADORABLE and perfect for making cute scenes!

   

    

I colored up the branches, and paper-pieced the little birdie to create a simple scene. The sentiment is from the Make Some Noise Stamp Set, stamped onto a speech bubble from the Talk Bubbles and Arrows Die Set... I just trimmed a larger bubble down to fit the sentiment.

There is still one more week to play along in the Shake It Up Challenge at Your Next Stamp!

  

Sooo... shakers are not my favorite style of card to make. I think they look amazing when OTHER PEOPLE make them, but I struggle! So, with our most recent move, when I purged some craft supplies, I got rid of ALL my sequins and shaker fillers! Oops! Now I'm in a small town, with no craft supply stores... what's a shaker card maker to do??

I raided my sons robot tool kits!! (Shhh!) Those tiny nuts were just the right size!

  

     

I colored up the funny handy man from the Nailed It! Stamp Set, and a few screw drivers, then cut them all out with the coordinating dies. The colored elements added a little extra POP to the shaker.

The nuts and bolts paper is from the DCWV Boyhood Stack, and is cut with the Stitched Rectangle Dies. The frame for the shaker is cut from the Stitched Rectangle Frames Dies.
