Love them all but Christina's is calling to me. So simple and yet elegant!

Disco Queen said...

Hi Cath, The new music video for Black Books favourite place, created & directed by the super talent that is Christophe Thockler 'Is making my clock tick today'. I am inspired to get out my mum's old sewing box & create a mixed media canvas.

Colleen Dietrich said...

Thanks for sharing these, Cath. They are most certainly share-worthy!

richardbreaks said...

Love them ALL, but Donna and Christina have my FULL attention!

Jeanne Kouyeas said...

Rachel W K said...

I. Love Cristina's card! I think I pinned it myself. Thanks for the morning inspiration!

Deepti said...

I am the most inspired by Teri Anderson's card, her card is so colorful, lively yet clean n so stunning :)

TLady said...

I like Lee Lawsons card! It's feminine, delicate & even has girly doo-dads on it!!! It just makes me SMILE! :)

Carol Gibson said...

These cards are great.
Thanks for sharing.

Nancy L. said...

All cards are beautiful, but Cristina's "so much" card just speaks my name! I love the CAS and the punch that it gives!

Auntie Em said...

They are all very pretty but I like the last one by Lea. It's sweet and so many pretty embellies on it but yet the design and way it's created would make it easy for anyone with a few simple, and easily found tools, to recreate something similar. I like it when you can use a card or LO for inspiration and you don't need to go buy anything new or expensive to get the same look. Design at it's best!

Kailash said...

Lea's card caught my eye instantly, just so dreamy, love the creativity of the design and the colors are just stunning!!!'

Hollie Shepard said...

All of these cards are brillant! I think I am always drawn towards clean and simple. My favorite is Cristina's card, but I love Debbie's card also!

Wendy Brassart said...

OH my goodness! It is really hard to choose. I really love them all. Though, I have to admit the sentiment on Lorena Canto's design and the clean design is very appealing to me!

Sandi said...

I am wild about chevrons so I would say that Debbie Olson's card really speaks to me but omgosh they are all lovely! Thanks for the inspiration.

cm said...

Beautiful set of cards - la-la-love for sure! The eye-catcher for me is Debbie Hughes bike card. My husband is a cyclist, so anything 'bike themed' just attracts my eye. If I were to give one of these cards to him - LOVE - no question! Thank you for sharing such prettiness with us!

barbie_love said...

That is very pinteresting!

judy said...

Lovely cards! CAS is usually my preferred style but Leah's card caught my eye because of the soft colors and the way that she arranged the embellishments--pure loveliness!

Vera Yates (Ling) said...

Great pick, Cath. I especially love Teri, Cristina & Debby's. They are fabulously CAS. :)

Caryn S said...

LOTS to pin here! My favorite is the last card, what a great design!

Megan Aaron said...

Cindy C. said...

They are truley moxie fab, as I scroll down to see each one, I am thinking I want to make just like that! And I really like the neutral colours of Melissa Phillips's card.

tape said...

They're all moxie fab indeed but I love Lea's stamped bouquet with 3d embellishments on top.

Ravengirl said...

Mmmm, I adore Cristina's card for all that gorgeous white space!

Betty-Ann said...

I love Teri's color combination...it pops! And the plaid die-cut "love" is so simple but so beautiful. Thanks for sharing!

Larissa Heskett said...

THANKS for sharing all of the AMAZING Creations that you've pinned!! I LOVE all of the inspiration!! Have a FABULOUS WEEK!! =)

Tasnim said...

These cards are indeed amazing! If I have to pick a favorite, I would pick Donna,s card. The colors are great and I just love the way she did the sentiment, plus I always appreciate a good stamped card, and stamping that plaid must have required so much patience!

Katy said...

These are some pretty cards! Lovin' the lanterns-and how some are popped up. :)

Jacquie Southas said...

They are all fabulous cards, but Lea Lawson's is just stunning!

Mary-Anne V said...

So many wondeful cards...so hard to choose but Jennifer's and Christina's simple but stunning cards really caught my eye.

Diane said...

OH yes, I am totally addicted to Pinterest...am working on a project today for the Cheery Lynn Design Blog....a pretty and inspiring set of cards you have chosen, love them all!!

cheryl (clee') said...

So much to admire in all these cards, but I'm just a sucker for "negative space" as in Donna Mikasa's Love card. Makes me want to fire up the die cutter!

Jennifer said...

What beautiful cards...love Jennifer's white on black!

Lizzy C said...

Fabulous inspiration!

Barbara said...

Christina is my favorite the CAS design just POPS! All the cards are fabulous ! I think I need to throw out my old stuff and just start over...

Debby's card is just so so amazing!

Karee Sue said...

Cristina's card is my fav - nobody does clean and simple like she does. Obviously, I am her #1 fan :)

Pamela Haskin said...

All great cards - and, gorgeous color choices on them all.
Thanks for all the inspiration today.

Cynthia Xavier said...

Celebrate Big by Teri Anderson is my favorite. The little chinese laterns are darling and the color combination is perfect. The green and orange on top of the pink and red really caught my eye. I will try that color combination on my card.

Stef Perry said...

These are all gorgeous cards, and they all speak to me on different levels. But I guess the one I find myself turning to most is Lea Lawson's beautiful card, with its soft color palate, sweet flowers popped up on top of the embossed image and the pretty cameo securing the very feminine bow.

Laura Jane said...

LOVE the Plaid in Donna's and the IKAT on Melissa's card..design HEAVEN!
I'm a PIN junky..following all YOUR pins:)

Rachel said...

I really like Cristina's card-simple, but SO pretty!

maria f. said...

Thanks for sharing. I love Cristina's handling of the sentiment and those soft colors with the graphic font. I'm not on Pinterest (is it really "legal" to be wheeling and dealing with folks' photos??) but it is an amazing invention.

Bumblebee said...

I love Donna's, so CAS, yet the kind of card I wish I'd thought of making! Love it!

Joyce said...

These are all so amazing. I think I love Debbie Olson's the most--the colors and chevrons do it for me.

Mel said...

I just love the color and pattern on Debbie's card, but they're all STUNNING!

Angela said...

Loved Donna's card with the negative space! So popular right now!

Chris D. said...

These are all so gorgeous! My favorite is Laura Williams card - swoon worthy!

Cindy H. said...

While I love every one of them - they're all gorgeous, today I'm intrigued by Donna M.'s plaid card. I so want to try making a plaid.

Katie Ann Brooks said...

I love the bright colors on the card from Debbie and the CAS look from Cynthia.

Lynn Hardy said...

I like the first one best (by Donna Mikasa). It's a simple idea but beautifully executed and full of juicy summer colours.

diana said...

All lovely cards! This week I am inspired to try my hand at DIY plaid stamping like Donna's. TFS ;-)

mamichelle said...

They're all beautiful!! I think I will have to say Teri's because that is my favorite color combo and I love the cute little lanterns!

Great job, Ladies!

Tona said...

I am really drawn to Jennifer's card. I think it's the background color combined with the fabulous stamp she used in white. Her sentiment is also the perfect font with a little pop of color.

sharon g said...

Melissa Phillips' card speaks to me the most because I like the graduated colors.

Jen Cuthbertson said...

I just love Teri's style and her card is amazing!

Cheryl W. said...

Līva Kalniņa said...

I'm totally amazed by all these cards, but Cristina and Lea's cards just blow my mind away!

All fabulous cards. I love Pinterest!

Стокли said...

Beautiful cards! I like Debby Hughes card for the colors and few last for the dimension.

SeattleStamper said...

I must have a thing for Debbie because both of the Debbie's cards just jump right out at me. I love the clean look of the Thank You with all the white space and sun washed colors but I also love the vibrant colors of the Hello card.

*Jennyfer Leung* said...

Love everything! What makes me tick is Lea's chic card and Jennifer's swirls.

Emily H said...

Felicia - Scrapper in the Making said...

I love all creations Jennifer McGuire. But who can really choose among these talented creations. The CAS are definitely up my alley.

Donna G. said...

I'm really liking Laura Williams "thanks" card.....very "CAS" with a pop of color.

Cynthia B. said...

I think they're all brilliant! Anything Teri does with her cute stamp sets always makes me smile, and I love the lanterns. Cristina's is wonderfully elegant in its simplicity. I could go on and on. Thanks for sharing these lovely cards!

Lea's card has captured my heart. Such dreamy colors and so feminine without being super fussy. They are all great cards each one unique.

jkaymac said...

I love the simplicity of Donna Mikasa's card.

Do I have to pick just one? Love Christina's because of the clean & simple style, which is more fitting for me. Each one is beautiful though!

Tricia said...

These are all Moxie Fab, Cath - you sure know how to pick 'em! I love almost everything Melissa does-her amazing shabby chicness! Donna Mikasa's plaid card is exquisite in it's lovely plaid CAS! As usual, Cristina just hits it out of the park - wow! how does she do that?!

Rebecca Ednie said...

I really like Lea's and Jennifer's. Lea's is so girlie and I love just about anything Jennifer makes!

brenlubrant said...

Laura William's card speaks to me because of the color combination. I love the coarl and aqua. It makes this card really stand out.

Dr. J said...

I love Debby's repeated sentiment in soft colours and that bike is fab! So trendy right now too.

DonnaSue said...

I love the pastel plaid colors in Donna's card. So pretty! Today is my birthday, so here's hoping I win a prize!

Looks like we frequent many of the same blogs. ;) I recently pinned several of these. They are all beautiful and it's so hard to choose, but I think Debbie Olson's hello card is my favorite. I love the pink and orange together and the way she used both colors when cutting out the hello. :)

bzyPTmom said...

I guess I'm really digging Donna's love card and Leah's Happy Birthday, grooving on the soft colors!

Karen said...

Jennifer's thank you card may be the most stunning card I've ever seen! Love the multiple pearls for the flower center and the way a few more of them float around for extra oh-my!

love2scrap said...

What an amazing group of cards! They are all beautiful but Jennifer's is speaking to me right now. I love that beautiful white on black and the stamp is gorgeous!
