A Green Thumb

I do not have a green thumb! I love this time of the year when all of the flowers are blooming but I like looking at other people's flowers as I just can't seem to keep mine alive.  I am fortunate that the house we live in now, a previous resident took the time to plan out the landscaping so that there is something pretty blooming most of the months of the year (and I don't have to remember to water them!).  I love being surprised at what pops up as each season changes!

This is a card I made a few months ago from PTI's "Green Thumb" set.  It is about as close as I'll get to planting my own blooming flowers! :)  It is another very simple card but I like it because it is simple. 

Do you have a green thumb?  What did you plant this year?  Do you plant a garden or just flowers?

Thank you for visiting my blog today!  I appreciate each and every one of you!

Generosity

This is the 3rd and final post in this series of "Dot Spot" cards!  Sick of them yet?  LOL!!  Both cards I'm sharing with you today are one layer cards, and I mean that literally!  There is no dimension on either of these cards at all!  Easy to mail, no hassle, no worries!

The color combo on this first card (above) is so nice!  That red "Pure Poppy" dot is definitely the center of attention (even on the side of the card).

This next card, below, is almost the same as the first, just different ink colors, different paper, and different placement. 

Again, this is pretty self explanatory!

Supplies
Stamps: Dot Spot, Signature Greetings
Ink Card #1:  Pure Poppy, Aqua Mist, Spring Moss
Ink Card #2:  Giverny Green Palette, Hibiscus Burst & Spring Rain & Tea Dye Ink
Paper:  White & Kraft

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you have an extra special day!!

Girly...You Rock!

Here's another "Dot Spot" card.  I told you yesterday, it is a very simple design and utilizes the same colors as the card from yesterday.

I punched the circles with a 1/2" circle punch and then took one of the stamps from "Polka Dot Basics 2" and stamped polka dots on them with VeraMark ink.  I adhered them to the centers of the dots with pop dots.

The paper I used is Rustic White, which is such a great color of paper.  It has little "wood" like specks in it. 

I hope you enjoyed this card!  I'd love to hear what you think!  Thank you for stopping by!

Seeings Spots

This is kind of a take off on the old spotlighting technique.  I had the idea while lying awake last night...too hot to sleep and boy am I feeling it today!  I think that this card looks even cooler in real life because the edges of the cardstock aren't quite as pronounced as they show up in the photo.  Anyway, really happy with the fun look of this card...and boy howdy (yes, I just said howdy!) do I love those BRIGHT colors! :)

I tried to line up the dots as closely as possible, they are off a teeny bit but are still pretty close! I used very thin pop dots so that the panels don't stick up very high.  They are only 1/16" thick.

This was really a fun card to make and you better believe I'm going to try it again!  And, of course, it is also simple to do!

You know how I almost overwhelmed you with cards I made using PTI's "Distressed Stripes" set recently?  Well, when I'm on a roll, I'm on a roll I guess!  I made 3 more simple, simple cards using "Dot Spot" too and I'll be sharing those with you over the course of the next few days.

As always, thank you for visiting my blog!  You guys are the best!
