HM Patriotic Stars

I created this for my friend's niece who has a birthday on July 4th.  I brushed Wink of Stella over the yellow stars and the white Star Border on the side is a die cut from Simon Says Stamp (it's one of the dies I purchased with my gift-card from the Wednesday challenge).

Good Morning!  I made this for a co-worker's wedding.  This Cheery Lynn flower die is new for me.  Aren't they sweet?  The die makes these great little dimensional flowers and they are so easy to roll with a quilling tool.   Thanks for stopping by!

KKS Anne Girl

Anne of Green Gables is one of my favorite children's books and I had to have this Kraftin' Kimmie stamp.   I've owned this stamp for a while now I think but it's my first time using it.

My 17 month old grabbed my Copics (boy, he's quick!) and colored over the image so I ended up having to cut her out as well as paper piece her carpet bag.  Maybe he did me a favor?  :)  Thanks for stopping by!

Sweet Baby

I designed this card for a friend who had a baby girl last week.  The centers of the flowers are tiny pink rhinestones and she has a larger one on her belly.  I used a Wink of Stella brush to fill in her wings.  It may be difficult to see here but in person this card shimmers.

IO Dear Deer

I am submitting this card to the latest IO challenge.  The shaker circle die is one of my go-to favorites and I've been using it on so much lately.

There's more dimension than appears in the photo.  I used a lot of foam tape to pop up some of the trees, the deer, the circle frame and the patterned paper layer.  Thanks for stopping by!

Dies R Us Best Dad

Hello!  This is the inspiration card I designed for the new "One for the Boys/Father's Day" Challenge at the Dies R Us Challenge Blog.  Hope you can dust off those dies and join us for some fun!  You have until June 13th to submit a project and you could win a gift certificate to the Dies R Us Store or a Top 3 Badge.  I'm constantly amazed by the store - they've added a ton of dies from new companies and have free shipping over $35 in the USA and $50 internationally.  If something is out of stock, click "Put me on the Waitlist" and you'll be emailed when it's back in stock.  

DIES USED

Memory Box - Grill Masters

Spellbinders Nestabilities - A2 Curved Matting Basics B

Cheery Lynn Designs - Medium Lollipop Cutie Fringe 3

Impression Obsession Dies - Alphabet Plain UC

My oldest son was born on Father's Day just a few hours after my husband's birthday.  Father's day and my husband's birthday are often one and the same so this card may end up being a combined card.  My husband loves to BBQ which works out nicely because I love to eat what he makes.  :)

This was a fun to design.  I cut a piece of cardstock and then scored it to get the fancy fold.  I wanted to use my Studio G stamps (which I'd bought a long time ago with the intention of making my husband a card) and my Memory Box Grill Masters die but I wasn't sure after folding this card how it was all going to come together.  The patterned paper is from a kitchen themed mat stack I found at Joann's. 

The Dad banner was cut freehand.  The letters are from a great little alphabet set from Impression Obsession.  They are a perfect size for card making.  I wanted the flag to look like an award.  You can only see the word "Best" when the card is open.

The white edge is the "extra" from a Cheery Lynn lollipop die.  It's such a great flower die and I've been using it over and over but I thought the remnants looked interesting too.  Most of my border dies were too feminine for this.  I liked how it added texture and dimension. 

Thanks for looking and Happy early Father's Day to all those Dad's out there!
