Today's Daily Inspiration with Denine - Quick Cards

Hello Everyone,

Denine here bringing you another set of quick cards.

I love quick cards... I just can't say that enough.  As many of you, life is SO busy but I still think it is important to make my cards.  There is just something more meaningful and they SAY just what I want them too! 

These two cards are just layers and a couple stickers with a flower.  Once the color combination is picked, the card literally takes under 5 minutes... assuming you don't run out of adhesive during the project... is it just me??!!!

My Son and his girlfriend have Birthday's just 12 days apart and they both turned the big 21 this year!  Exciting huh!  (oh I heard all the stories.. lol)

Here are the cards I made for these two Adults! hehehe... never Adult in a mom's book, right!?!











I used some older MPS stamps that have retired for the stamped sentiments. Ink used was Texas Chocolate ink - love this ink.  My papers are from Lost & Found Two by My Mind's Eye and Traditions by Carta Bella.  Carta Bella is one of my favorite paper lines right now.  The texture on their 12 x 12 cardstock is so rich.  I also used Dark Suede Brown Bazzill cardstock which also has a texture.  I would have to say this particular cardstock is my go to as a layer.  The color seems to go with EVERYTHING.  And my base is made from Bazzill Kraft cardstock.


The flowers are a combination of Petaloo Dahlia's, Petaloo Color Me Crazy flowers and the buttons from Indie Chic Citron.


Happy Friday and Come back tomorrow for our Weekly Challenge... they are so much fun.  There is still time to enter this weeks Challenge - Hearts... come play with us.

Hugs,
