Birthday Bash Sentiments Day 4

Hello friends!!
Is it just me or are the days going by really quickly?  I have two quick cards to share with you today.  You know my CAS motto.  I love clean and simple and of course quick and easy to make cards.  I like cards that can be easily mass produced and that don't take hours upon hours to create.  I think the longest I have ever spent on one card was 3 hours and that is just way too long.  Sometimes I set a timer and when it beeps that is it--I can't adjust my card any longer.  How about you?  What are your stamping strategies?  What is the longest time you have ever worked on one card before?


CARD #1
For the first card, I decided to use a mixture of ink and embossing.  I have this beautiful address book that caused the inspiration and the colour scheme too!  As you will see I embossed several of the images in gold and the rest using spring rain, dark chocolate, spring moss and vintage duos.  I am very pleased with the effect and yet it was simple to do.  I dressed up the card with a fun sentiment and a big bow!

CARD #2

The second card is super fun...do you see the flower?  I made it using cupcake liners.  I have a close up and you will see that I used some old holiday liners.  They are mini cupcake liners and pressed it flat and folded them over.  I put some adhesive in the middle and then placed them around the adhesive. I added the threaded button as a final touch.  I like being resourceful and eco friendly.  The kids love this card.  I can totally see why too!
