Chilly days....

Is it getting colder where you are? I am not sure that I am quite ready for this cold weather yet. *yikes!*

I have been a bit quieter than normal because my Mom is in town so we are having lots of fun girl time. Today is shopping day! :o)

Just a quick share for you today. I challenged myself to do some cards using a kit from Unity that hasn't seen a whole lot of ink, Vintage Accents, and did some fast easy cards with it. The stamps in this kit have a lot of versatility esp. when it comes to creating more masculine cards.

I used the Basic Grey Offbeat papers for all of these cards. For this one, I colored the flower with water-based marker and simply used the paper design to dictate the design of the card. Very simple...

For this card, I wanted to feature the cute little birds that were in the papers so I cut them out and mounted them to one of the stamped squares. For further detail on the square, I added the little sunburst details to the sides and added the brads. Again, super-simple and quick!

This card was probably the most in-depth of all the cards that I created in this grouping. That being said though, this still probably only has a difficulty level of 2 on a scale of 1-5 (1 being easy, 5 being hard) so we still aren't talking about more than about 20 minutes to create. I used white StazOn to stamp onto the Kraft paper and create the background design. The fleur-de-lis is cut out and pop-dotted onto the square.

Supplies used:

*Unity stamp Co. Vintage Accents

*Basic Grey Offbeat

*Martha Stewart twill ribbon

*eyelet trim

*MM mini alpha stickers

*white StazOn
