365 Cards Day 206 "Tuesday Triplets"



Well, it's been a while! I haven't had a lot of crafty time lately with work and baby and back to school and family commitments and...... you all know what I mean! It amazes me when I see how many of you complete every challenge every week (and then some!) WOWO.


I did manage to get this simple little cutie done this morning. I find that if I don't get a card done in the morning and post right away, I don't get it posted at all. Any of you have that problem??!!


The challenge today at 365 Cards was to use three of anything you put on your card... so if there is one there must be two more. Three stems, three flowers, three buttons, three pieces of twine!



It is inspired by this card at How About Orange.




I used my sewing machine to sew on the stem (3 stems) and then I punched 3 scalloped circles and snipped the scallops into petals and smushed them up a little to make them more flower-like. Those are glued on and then the buttons are tied with twine and stuck on with glue dots. The sentiment is actually 2 seperate stamps the "thanks" is a studio g and the "a bunch" is a rubber stamp from a set I got at the dollar store.

I hope you like and thanks for stopping by! See you again soon (hopefully!)

  3. Great card! I too envy those that can do the challenge everyday. I sit and drool because I can't play and once I get home the evening seems to get away from me. Hoping with the cooler weather upon us I can participate more often. XXX OOO
