Clean and Simple (CAS) Happy Birthday Swaps ...

Happy Tuesday! 

As the week grows closer to my trip to the Close to my Heart convention, I find myself trying to complete several projects that need to be accomplished prior to my leaving. 
One of such as a clean and simple swap I signed up for a while back. 
I had to create two groups of cards. 


One set was embossed with the Close to my Heart Rose Embossing Folder


Then embellished with Red Shimmer Trim, Pewter cardstock, and a relatively simple White Daisy circle. 


The circle was distressed with Cranberry ink and the sentiment "Make a Wish" from the Short & Sweet Stamp Set, was inked with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink



The second set, I use the Central Park Patterned Paper Packet as the main focal point.
I used Poppy and Sapphire cardstock as well. 

The sentiments,  "Thanks a Bunch" from the Heartfelt Thanks Stamp Set, and the "Celebration" from the Cheers to You Workshops Your Way Stamp Set were stamped in Cranberry and Sapphire inks. 

I added a few Stargazer Dots to each of these, depending on the colors in the card. Some were blue, some red and some yellow. These are still available, stock up!


I tried to make sure that I made a few extras to swap with at the Convention next week. 
Counting down,  just 9 days!

Lots of Layers Challenge Card...

Today's card was inspired by the Lots of Layers card Challenge over at the Pile It On! Challenge Blog.

Since Fourth of July is right around the corner, I thought I would be a great time to use Sapphire, Poppy and White Daisy cardstock for a beautiful patriotic look.




 I used the new Heartfelt Thanks stamp set for both the sentiment and the floral background. 
I stamped both in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink
The oval layers are raised up on 3-D Foam Tape
I distressed the edges of the oval with Sapphire ink


To help bring out the floral pattern, I used just a few of the blue dots in the Stargazer Dots pack. If you follow mw regularly you know I love those and am stocking up now, so I still have them once they sell out. 



I entered my card into the following challenges:
