A Whole Bunch of Cards

I guess I lied about posting everyday. Oops! Can you forgive me? I have a bunch of cards today, all using the K&Co. Amy Butler Lotus 12x12 Tea Box Specialty Paper Pad. Boy that's a mouthful! I had a bunch of card bases that had been stamped on and were never used. I wanted to keep them all pretty quick and easy, letting the paper shine. 
This one has some Sweet Blush ribbon and the "Thanks" is from a Studio G: Ditto cling set called Bring on the Cake. I used this set in a few other cards as well. 
This one has a few more embellishments since the paper isn't *quite* as loud. The dress form was embossed using a Tim Holtz woodgrain embossing folder. The purpley inking around the edges of the card base and the spiral notebook page is Velvet Pigment Ink from Colorbox. I used Seaglass Pigment Ink from Colorbox on the raised area of the dress form, as well as on the Vintage Cream sentiment strip. It's an exact match to Aqua Mist. The edges of the dress form are inked with Dune Pigment Ink. All of those inks can be found in the Colorbox Petal Point in Mosaic.
Next up! These are really simple.
I used the same technique for the Aqua Mist layer as I did for the dress form in the last card. First, two Mat Stack 5 die cuts, then the woodgrain embossing folder, then the Seaglass ink on the raised surface and some Dune ink around the edges. The little Thank You is from Tiny Tags (so is the actual tag!). 
 The edges of the card base are inked with the Velvet pigment ink as well. The ribbon is Hibiscus Burst 3/8" twill.
 The last card is another Thank You. I never seem to have any!
Spring Rain for the die cut, using Tumbled Glass Distress Ink for the definition. The ribbon is Spring Moss 5/8" Grosgrain.
I hope you enjoyed today's cards, and I promise to post more frequently! As always, feedback is greatly appreciated, and I would be more than happy to answer any questions you might have!

Thinking of You (times two)

Happy Wednesday! I've been trying to post everyday, but it's been a busy few days. Anyways, I'm back, and I'm going to try and update my blog at least 6 days of the week. Are you ready for it? 

To start off today's post, I have a pretty simple card. There's not much to it, just a few die cuts, some stamping and embossing, and some ribbon. 


And since it's Thinking of You (times two), I have another Thinking of You card. 


I'm pretty happy with how this one turned out.


That's all for today! Thanks so much for visiting, and as always, if you want to know anything about the supplies I used on today's cards, just ask!
