All occasion card featuring a serendipity heart, decorative paper flags and a square of green cardstock

This is the card I am sending my Mom for Mother's day.  It is my favorite colour combination - green and pink.  I chose a small envelope and made a green card for it.  I mounted a square of green cardstock and then added two pieces of flagged decorative paper - a pink one with tracing wheel texture and a green and pink one with roses just a little offset from each other.  I mounted a coordinating serendipity heart over them and added a little pink fiber bow using a small piece of a glue dot.  I have been seeing a lot of double flag cards on Splitcoast Stampers and it is the first time I have made one!!  Therese

CAS Sympathy card featuring three decorative papers, a die cut sprig and a little font greeting

Needed a sympathy card this week and decided to see if I could do Clean and Simple.  I admire many of the CAS cards I find on the internet but usually I cannot convince myself to leave so much white space. I did find a few that had a little less white space so I took them as inspiration and got started. 
I started with a smaller envelope and made a white card to fit inside.  I had my green scraps on my desk and decided to see if I could find three that coordinated enough to make a card.  I found these three which worked and so I just adhered them to my white card front.  I found the little diecut sprig (TH) in my little stash of leaves and used white glue applied with a fine tip applicator to secure it in place.  The little font greeting punchie (SU - Word Window) I found in my stash and adhered with 3D foam tape.  I am very happy with the result!!  I made a few more which I will be blogging soon!!
