Card: A Thursday Surprise!

Hello and Welcome!

Welcome to today's post! Did you miss me on Tuesday?! I sure missed you and what a week it has been! I know there are lots out there like me who are wearing about 10 different hats right now and while you keep going with your head held high and a positive attitude...it sure is exhausting! I needed to switch gears today to do something to feed my soul.  It was the kind of day that required something calming and relaxing!

And here is today's project...



This card has what I like to call "everything but the kitchen sink"!  From embossing folders to die cuts to embellishments, it is just that kind of card to put a smile on anyone's face.  I wanted to feature the Lily Impressions Designer Series Paper with today's card and I paired today's DSP with the Petal Pink cardstock and ink.  Pro tip: I did not actually buy the coordinating Lily Pad die cuts (which are still available by the way); however, I discovered that the Magnolia Memory die cuts have a very similar flower shape.  Using the detailed die cut and solid die cut from that set, I created a very similar lily pad look that I think coordinates well.


Don't forget to include some of that beautiful paper on the inside of your card or envelope as well!

Card Details

Card: Clean and Simple Flirty Daisy

Hello and Welcome!

Welcome to today's post! And welcome to ATXPaperHouse! I'm so glad you decided to join me today as I'm sure we are all in a little need of little break from today's news.  I hope that I am able to bring a little joy to your day and know that if I could send a card to all of my readers I would...this is me sending you a virtual greeting card saying "Every little thing is gonna be alright".

And now to today's project...


I joined two challenges today as The Paper Players are hosting a Clean and Simple Challenge that I always have fun with.  I think I used to be quite intimidated by the clean and simple concept because I wasn't sure how to create a beautiful card without adding and adding...and adding embellishments, die-cuts and ink, etc.  But as I create more and more cards, I find that I stick to clean and simple more often than not.  I also find that most of the stamp sets that I purchase are so beautiful on their own that it is easy to simply stamp a sentiment with a small design and you have created a beautiful card.

Today's card features the Daisy Lane and Sunshine Sayings sets.  The Daisy Lane set is so versatile and can be used with a variety of ink colors, so it is a real winner! The Daisy Lane Bundle is still available for purchase and features both the stamps and coordinating punch!  I had a few sheets of Flirty Flamingo cardstock left over from a recent Valentine's Day card class and remember thinking "what am I going to do with all of this Valentine's colored paper?!?"  Look no further than a Spring inspired card! The Flirty Flamingo is the perfect Spring pink, so if you're like me and have a few sheets left don't forget to use it for those cute Easter and Spring cards!


Card Details
Size: 5 1/2 x 4 1/4
Paper: Flirty Flamingo, Whisper White
Stamps: Daisy Lane, Sunshine Sayings
Ink:   Flirty Flamingo, Garden Green, Gray Granite
Tools: Daisy Lane Punch, Rectangle Stitched die-cuts, Beautiful Layers, Subtle Embossing folder
Accessories: From My Heart Faceted Gems

Card: A Tropical Oasis

Hello and Welcome!

Welcome to today's post! We have been having some dreary, rainy weather here in Austin lately and I am so ready for Spring to arrive for good! Our wildflowers are starting to bloom and I'm hoping they will really start to shine with our next good day of sunshine!  Texas wildflowers are the best inspiration and I think it was one of my favorites times in Texas.

While our wildflowers wait to come to life, I thought I would use a different variety flower for today's inspiration.  I wanted to bring to life the beautiful tropical flowers from the Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper.

And here is today's card...


Today's card is a mix of products and I love when I can mix and match different products and suites.  It goes to show how versatile all of these products can be with a little creativity.  The Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper really steals the show here (in my humble opinion!).  The brown background is the opposite side of the colorful floral sheet and both coordinate so well.  A simple lawn chair die-cut from the Seasonal Layers set finishes off the "tropical oasis" vibe. 


Card Details
Size: 5 1/2 x 4 1/4
Paper: Night of Navy cardstock, Tropical Oasis DSP, Crumb Cake cardstock, Whisper White cardstock
Stamps: Good Morning Magnolia
Ink: Night of Navy
Tools: Seasonal Layers die-cuts, Layering Circles die-cuts, Banner Punch
Accessories: Metallic sequins, Magnolia Lane ribbon

Today's card was inspired by the following challenges:
