Clean and Simple

I wanted to make a card and needed a little inspiration so I turned to CAS challenge on color. I dont have any Stampin UP so I used the closest colors I have.

 I do love the colors and would have never made this card otherwise.  Sometimes the simple cards though are the HARDEST to make! I am happy with the outcome but this little card took much longer than it looks like it did.

Stamps - Lawn Fawn heart & home banner
Candi dots

By The Sea

This is a little LaLaLand Digi stamp colored using Copic Markers.
The lace is a vintage garage sale find and I had fun finally putting it to use.

Entering in the following challenges:
Simon Says Stamp  - by the sea
Marker Pop - #26 anything goes
Divas by design - tag


So I did a little sewing today on a quilt block I am doing for my flickr Quilt Bee
We Bee With It Quilt Bee and I did miss sewing, since Ive been cardmaking so much, I got to thinking what do I love about both.....

What I love about cardmaking:
small size easy to photograph
endless options for layouts & design
can be cheap gratification (can buy a digi for $3 if you are bored)
coloring
lots of friendly and supportive online stamping community

What I love about sewing/quilting:
touching the fabric
having a beautiful quilt or outfit at the end to use
planning the design

well I love both and dont plan to give any craft up any time soon.
poor hubby.....

Gracias

Paper Piecing

Technique - paper piecing

I have tried English paper piecing with fabric and I enjoyed it so I thought I would try card making paper piecing, and this little card is my second attempt. I kept it simple with a white color story. 

I love this little stamp from DisDigiDesigns because it was easy to paper piece and color.  I also used Bazzil card stock, copics, white ribbon, nestabilities dies, sizzix embossing folder.  The paper on her dress and flower is from Recollections called Sweet Flora.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

Marker Pop 26 - copic pens
