Queen for a day card

By now you know this is the Modern Grid technique card and that I'm obsessed with it! I keep finding new stamps (well they aren't "new" really) to use with this card for various occasions. This is for a birthday gal. I used Lost Coast and Crafty Secrets stamps for this one.

Happy Birthday card

Here is yet another card using the Modern Grid technique. For this one I used hat stamps from Hero Arts and a sentiment stamp from Fiskars. This time I used watercolor pencils vs regular ones to color in the squares.

Get your kicks card

Here's another card I made using the Modern Grid Tutorial from Technique Junkies. I love this technique and hope you all don't get sick of it. Sometimes I look at my stamps and can't figure out what to do with them. This technique pulls them all together and allows for some fun with colored pencils, paints or whatever you want to use to fill in some squares and color your images. It also give you the opportunity to do a little doodling too. This card is for a guy birthday, hope he likes it.

Laugh card

Here's a card I made using the Faux Embroidered Quilt technique from the August/September 2014 Technique Junkies newsletter. I used paper from K&Co and an embossing folder. The sentiment is from Mary Engelbreit.

I'm sending it as an anniversary card. We all need a little laughter in our relationships.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Here's a card I made using a technique I saw on the Club Scrap blog. I modified the bottom of mine just a bit but otherwise followed the instructions. I used a border stamp from Studio G (sloppy stamping I know) and a sentiment inside.

Happy Anniversary Card

Here's a card I made using the Modern Grid Tutorial from the Apr/May 2007 issue of the Technique Junkie Newsletter. I used Impression Obsession stamps for the flowers and colored them with Prismacolor colored pencils. Then I used my Just Right Times New Roman font for the sentiment. I used my Spellbinders to accent the sentiment and a big "H" and "A" from the dollar bin at a big box store (Michaels  or AC Moore, not sure which one).
