Anna Griffin

This weekend I was a busy little bee creating projects for Anna Griffin's upcoming HSN show scheduled for February 18th. Anna always comes out with the most beautiful tools and supplies and this next show will be no exception! 

Since I can't reveal what's next, I thought I'd share a few more projects from last months show. I created this card with the Cuttlebug Lovely Impressions and Dies. See how detailed the embossing is with these folders? And that XOXO die is a favorite of mine! 

Anna's Card Kits are another favorite of mine as all the work is done for you and includes everything you need to make the most gorgeous cards! This next card was made using the Pretty Pop Ups Card kit. 

No measuring,  scoring and cutting required! Just mixing, matching and arranging flowers, sentiments and flourishes until my heart was content! 

For all you dog and cat lovers, the above card was created with Anna's Best In Show collection. This line is packed full of the cutest cats and dogs I've ever seen! There was even a black and white cat that looked just like my Oreo!

This chubby little car ranks at the top of my favorite Reverse Confetti images! It's just too sweet, don't you think. And the perfect accent for a tot's birthday card!

This Fresh and Fruity themed birthday greeting is perfect for summer! It's cool and sweet with orange juice squirting in every direction! It's another example of how you could use Reverse Confetti's new Perfectly Paisley Confetti Cuts. Think of all the pool and beach projects!

Technique Tuesday and CardMaker Blog Hop

Welcome to the Technique Tuesday and CardMaker blog hop! If you are arriving here from Laura O'Donnell's blog you are right on track. For a full list of participants and hop details please start at CardMaker. 

Summertime is almost here and with it are lots of birthday celebrations so I used Technique Tuesday's Say It - Happy stamp set to create this fun and colorful birthday card.

Whimsical stamped birthday icons, colorful patterned paper and buttons make this a celebratory card, don't you think?

Often, during summertime, my husband like to escape North Carolina's heat and humidity by visiting our local art museum. This Wildflowers stamp from Technique Tuesday reminds me of the gorgeous field of wheat and iron tree in front of the museum which inspired my card.

I stamped this card twice, first with white ink, then a second time with black to give it a dimensional effect. 

Next up on the hop is Daniela Dobson.

Garden Party Birthday Card

This morning after browsing Pinterest I was in the mood to play with paper and Pebbles' new Garden Party collection seemed like the perfect line to do this with!

I love starting my mornings with coffee and Pinterest...it always puts me in a creative spirit! How about you...what inspires you to get your craft on?

Do you like this card design? Sometimes I can whip something up in no time at all and then other times I have to tinker with accents a lot before I'm happy with the outcome...this was one of those cards!

Do you see the micro mini buttons? There's one dotting the 'i' and another in the center of the turquoise sticker pinwheel. They're adorable, but if you don't look closely you will miss 'em! ;)
