Making simple cards isn't always a thing we do...often it's bigger - better - more! So it was nice to step back and make more of a clean and simple card. On the white layer, I placed a few little score lines for attention and where they meet I covered with this flower from the Paradise Garden bundle stamped in Poppy Parade. The greeting and the die for it are also from the same bundle. Then I sprinkled 3 Iridescent Pearls that were coloured with Blueberry Bushel Stampin' Blends to tie it all together with the matte and the card base. Sweet and uncomplicated! What do you think?

Wagon Wheel Treat Holders
These Wagon Wheels treat holders will be a hit with the Elmira Community Living class this week. They always love a treat at the end of their crafting session. These came together super easily: Cardstock cut at 8.5 inch x 8.5 inch then cut on a diagonal. With the wide edge horizontal on the score board, score at 4 inches and 8 inches. Fold in each side to seal. That's it! I used cardstock but this would work just as easily with patterned paper. Super cute!

Perennial Postage Framed All Around Card
A pretty Framed All Around card with the floral image heat embossed in silver on a Perennial Postage die. Each flower was coloured with Poppy Parade and Old Olive Stampin' Blends. The dies are poppedup onto a piece of poppy parade then centred top to bottom on basic white embossed with the Beautiful Pattern embossing folder before adhere to the poppy parade card base. All it needs are a few rhinestone embellishments and white baker’s twine coloured with poppy parade Stampin' Blends to finish it off. A beautiful card from my Team member Wendy.

Jungle Pals Sloth Card
Blast from the past making a card with the retired Jungle Pals bundle. Thought I'd share with you all with a back story! The mascot for our Crop weekend is the sloth. This is the ONE stamp set with a sloth in it - I mean how many do you need? Perfect for my tablemate cards. With sloth mode on, we are most certainly relaxing. Happy Day!

Sweet as a Bug Hershey Kiss Treat Holder
I'm away at a Crop for this weekend in Stratford with 48 of my favourite scrappers. Most of the gang that attends does scrapbooking/memory keeping. I'm seated with my little band of merry card makers. This is one of the little gifties I made to share with my tablemates complete with a bag of Hershey kisses because who doesn't NEED chocolate when they craft? The box is simple: 6 x 6 inch square scored on all four sides at 1 inch. Then on one side score also at 2.5 inches and 3.5 inches. Fold up the bottoms and fold down the inside at the top. Like a said...super simple!
