Card #98 - Pretty Flowers

Another card from the ever so awesome Simon Says Stamp March Card Kit. This is another case with a few changes this time. I cannot express how happy I was with that particular kit.

Card #96 and 97- Washi Tape Cards

Washi tape is popping up everywhere in the craft world. I am very familiar with Washi paper's from Japan that I absolutely adore, they are so beautiful and hold up very well. I still have several pieces left in my paper stash that I bought over 20 years ago while living in The Land of the Rising Sun. Hubby and I are both retired AF, we met and married in Tokyo--very exotic at that time. Now I have joined a Washi Tape card swap on Swap-Bot so I have taken the plunge into the world of Washi tape. So far so simple.

Card #95, Blue Bird Card

This card was made for a Blue Bird Card exchange on Swap-Bot. Again, I went to Pinterest for inspiration. Once finished, I took a picture and shipped it off to California to my favorite swap partner Linda T.

Card #94, Blue - For a Friend

Many months ago I had to make a blue card for a swap on Swap-Bot.com
and this is the result. I found a sketch on a blog and put this card together using scraps and a button. Pretty simple.  I made months ago and I found it sitting in my blog drafts waiting to be posted.  Hmmm, guess I shouldn't have stayed away so long from my blog.  I still want to create 365 cards this year, I am behind by 100, time to get to work.

Card #93, Green Thank-you

This card I cased from Kristina Werner on the Simon Says Stamp March 2013 Card Kit Blog.  It is virtually the same as the one she made except I did not add faux stitching.  This is my favorite card kit from SSS thus far, I loved the colors, the stamp set and all the extra goodies that came with it. If you have never tried kits, I highly recommend the monthly kits from SSS. You can buy them for $24.95 plus shipping or join the monthly club for $19.95 plus shipping.

Card #92 - Coffee Or Tea??

Recently, I needed to make a card for a Coffee or Tea theme for a swap and  my internal inspiration meter was on low, so  I turned to Pinterest for ideas and viola, a cup pocket card. I forgot to take a picture with the lid off, it has a piece of cardstock attached for a message.  The feedback from was swap partner was very positive.   It measures 4" x 5" and fits in an A4 envelope.

Card #91- Colorful Thanks

Inspired by this post on the Card Corner by Candee blog (one of my go to blogs for inspiration) I had to give this card a try.  The hardest part was finding the right stamp.
