Cards from my Grandma J!

These are just a few of the cards my Grandma made me for Christmas! She gave me a whole bunch of beautifully stamped blank cards so I can use them throughout the year. She gave cards as gifts to quite a few of my family members. What a perfect gift! I can't imagine the hours she put in. I thought I would share some of her designs with you. She has really good ways of using flower/leaf/stem stamps. Thank you, Grandma!

To get us started...

For this card, I used the Stampin' Up Versamark stamp pad to create the water-mark on the dark paper. Pardon the picture quality - it's much prettier in person.

I made a bunch of these, so don't be surprised if you get one when you have a baby! :) I love Creative Memories cutting system, which allows for the different size circles. And thank you, Barbara, for the stamp!

Briann showed me how to rub my card against the stamp pad at different angles to create a random and shaded background. She also loaned me the stamps and colored the toadstool for me. Thanks, Bri!

This is such a classic Julie card - cute paper and one little stamp in the corner.

This is a tri-fold card with the HAPPY BIRTHDAY affixed to one side of the card. It has cool brown and tan colors...too bad they look terrible in the picture.
