just a quick share....

My sister's birthday is tomorrow so I made a sweet and feminine card for her. I'm working on a fun little canvas as a gift too. I'll share that next week. Since one of the challenge themes on the Hero Arts blog is birthdays I'll enter this over there.
I paired my favorite older HA birthday clear set Cupcakes CL158 with a new background stamp Daisy Outline Pattern S5472. Some pretty ribbon and delicious Cosmo Cricket Delovely paper and it's done!

This next card was inspired by this sentiment stamp set...
For some reason the words Live, Laugh, Love stood out and I thought they would work together well. I think they did, what do you think?
Some more Cosmo Cricket paper, this time from the Togetherness Mini Deck and the very versatile Graph Background stamp, S5435. I added Glossy Accents to the black areas of live and love and to the letters in laugh, here's some close up looks....




I'm doing a Cuttlebug demo today at Stamp Fever, so I used lots of die cut pieces in these two cards. The label dies are by Sizzix.  The large scallop and half circle dies are from PTI. The small ribbon label is Cuttlebug.

~ Proverbs 3:5-6 ~
Trust in the Lord with all your heart;
do not depend on your own understanding.
Seek His will in all you do
and He will show you which path to take.

blessings,
