Hey Friends!
I am popping in with three cards I created this weekend for three teachers I work with in honor of Teacher Appreciation Day. I bought little these adorable little hydrangea flowers and matched the colors for each of my cards.
I used Simon Says Stamp Flower Frame Embossing Folder and Simon Says Stamp THANKS Wafer Die for all my cards. I also used Diamond Stickles on all the flower centers on the embossed flowers, as well as some Clear Sparkle Pen on my sentiments.
I used Simon Says Stamp! Ink for all of my cards. I am slowly building up my collection.
I am entering this card into this weeks Tic Tac Toe Challenge #291. I used the center down-die cut, embossing, and layers. The card front is over the card base, that is a layer, right? I could have entered it into the top line too.
My second card is a pink version of the above card.
The inks I used for this card are Simon Says Stamp! Bubble Gum and Sweet Dye Ink. I even inked up the sentiment that is in the middle of the dark pink to match the background.
I am adding this to the following challenges-As You See It Challenge #371, The Beautiful Blossoms Challenge #40-Moodboard or anything goes and Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge-Mother's Day Feminine.
My last card is more of a shell pink color. It was the first card I created and the Thanks is not perfectly straight.
I have to say that this one is my favorite!! I used Simon Says Stamp! Shell and Salmon Ink.
I am entering this card in this weeks The Paper Player Challenge #784. It is a mood board and feminine theme. I was inspired by the pinky flowers.
Well, that is all from me today. I want to thank you for taking the time to stop by. Have a FABULOUS week!!

The whole trio of these cards is fabulous! I love the addition of soft colour to the embossed flowers contrasted with the strong sentiment. Thanks for sharing with us at The Paper Players.
Cute thank you cards, Nora!
What beautiful cards, Nora! This embossing folder is amazing. I LOVE the deep texture. The bold die cut sentiment was a great choice. The colors are lovely, too. I bet the stickles look awesome in person. Thank you for playing with The Paper Players this week!
What a pretty and versatile design! I think it contains all five elements of our recipe! Thanks for cooking up our recipe at As You See It Challenges!
oh such a beautiful trio of cards, Nora - I love the embossed frame of flowers! You've pulled all our other recipe elements together perfectly, as well. Thanks for playing along with us at As You See It challenge
Such pretty colors and cards, Nora! I like the greeting off center, it adds a bit of interest. The embossed frame is gorgeous, especially with all the inking you added. So lovely to see your card in the PP gallery, thanks for playing along this week!
Wow, that folder makes for some impressive cards, especially with the bold sentiment! Love the colors you chose too, as well as giving it a bit of a grunge look with the torn edges! Thanks so much for sharing this with us at the Players this week, as well as the As You See It challenge too!
