Supplies used are :

I used a white blank card with a red cardstock from my Shimmer Matstack. The main background I used my cherry blossom embossing folder on white cardstock.

The small red and white strip is paper from my Snap Color Vibe paper pack from Simple Stories.

I used red paper with my scalloped squares framelits with a white background behind the red roses and the sentiment is from my All Year Greetings clear stamp set. I used Garden Green Stampin' Up Ink. 

Then I added some sequins on the cherry blossom flowers. I used my photo editing software to add the green border to my card after I scanned it and saved it to my computer. 

This card is the 507th card I have made since 2011 when I first started making cards. You can also find this card posted in this weeks http://www.freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com card challenge.

This makes card number 505 since I first started making handmade greeting cards about 6 years ago. I thought that this weeks Mojo Monday card sketch challenge was perfect for making a baby card.

I used a white card blank with pink and then another white for the first 2 layers. I used my buttons embossing folder for my background image. Then I cut pieces from a 12 x 12 sheet of scrapbooking paper for my front images. I used my scalloped circle framelit die to give my dimensional sticker a little bit of character. The Welcome Baby is a wood mount stamp. I used black ink when stamping it onto my card.

Well, I finally decided what card to make for this weeks Freshly Made Sketches challenge. Here is the link to it : http://www.freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com. 

I thought a St. Patrick's Day theme would be good for my card for this week. And since I don't have very much to work with for this holiday, I went to Google images and searched graphics and clipart, which is where I got the pic of the little doggie as well as the bow and the clover.

I added the ribbon at the bottom from my own ribbon collection as well as the sequins. The patterned paper to the right is from a 12 x 12 sheet of St. Patrick's Day scrapbook paper. The sentiment is from my Brush Stroke Greetings Sentiments rubber stamps. I used my scalloped squares framelit die cut for the border behind the little doggie picture. Then I used a 1 inch corner punch for the picture.

I hope you like my card. Thanks for stopping by.

It's another week for the MojoMonday challenge and this card makes the 491st card I have made since I first started making cards about 6 yrs ago. 

Here is a link to the MojoMonday challenge : http://www.mojomonday.blogspot.com.

And here is a little bit about my card....

I chose a Pink blank card for the main part of my card. On the front, I chose a green color. I'm not sure of what shade of green it is, but I thought it was the perfect shade of green to go with the pink. 

Next, I used my Photo Frame embossing folder to give my background a cool looking border. 

Then I chose some white lace ribbon to go around the main theme with pink brads on the corners. I chose a Mother's Day theme this week. The patterned paper I used is from the Pretty In Pastels and Mum's The Word paper collections that I downloaded and printed up from the Papercraft Inspirations website.

My sentiment is from Mum's The Word. The sentiment is attached to a pink circle and a scalloped circle. I used a circle framelit die cut with pink paper and then I chose the same shade of green with a scalloped circle die cut. All of this put together gives my card kind of a vintage look.
