This spring I have a resolution to make sure I have enough of every card on hand for any occasion!  Being a card maker you'd think I was on top of things - not so!  I am working hard to not only keep up this blog but have cards ON HAND so I don't have to make a mess out of my area when I need a card and quick!  I'm building up my stash of cards and also coming up with a class for mid-March for those that need to fill their card stash too :)  I love this rubber duck!  This cards is really back to the basics - a couple of punches and no Big Shot!

OH, Hello again!  This is a great card for mailing.  Although I love all the bling that's associated with a handmade card, they can be a pain to mail!  I've been trying to simply my cards to make them better to mail and quicker to make.  I'm finding that simple is more my style and doable for most people.  I did add a few easy touches such as stamping the sentiment on matching DSP and adding dazzling diamonds with 2 way glue pen to the butterfly.  This card can be changed up in so many ways using different sentiments.  Of course, no card is complete without something popped up with dimensionals (the cherry cobbler scallop).

Have a great week!
