Masculine Birthday Card

For You...

My mom asked me to make a card for her friend's birthday, something bright and cheerful. I decided to make a card using the new Kind & Caring Thoughts hostess level 3 set.


I used one piece of the retired Walk in the Park designer series paper for the right panel, and the other I stamped the large flower in versamark and white craft ink on a piece of Kiwi Kiss cardstock.

The pearls and ribbon are not SU!

Lots of Bots!

This card was made using the Lots of Bots set... which I love... they're just TOOO cute!

I used the nut, bolt and screw stamp repeatedly in versamark on the background, and Stampin' Pastels and my markers with the blender pen to color in the robot.

New Home Congrats card

So friends of ours just bought their first home and I wanted to make a card for them... Thanks to Phil for the inspiration - he wanted me to make them a card in the shape of a house (fitting!) so here it is!The roof is made layering pieces of Chocolate Chip cs punched using the scallop edge punch. For the "on your new home" stamped greeting, I repurposed a couple of the stamps from "Sweet Little Sentiments" in order to spell out what I wanted it to say, and of course, used my stamp-a-ma-jig!!! I am very happy with how it turned out!

So it's been a while....

But here I am! I have been having some incredibly frustrating computer problems of late... but hopefully I can post stuff more often now.

So these are 3 Father's Day cards I had to make this last week... This first one is for my Grandfather. He's a rooster in the Chinese calendar... and he had a farm for many years - he just loved this card!!! I was so happy that he liked the card so much! :)

And this is the one for my grandfather from my mom. If you're wondering why it's pink and burgundy, it's because those are my grandfather's favorite colors!!! :)

I stamped the main stamped image in bravo burgundy classic ink, then using my stamp-a-ma-jig, stamped the exact image overtop in versamark so that I could clear emboss it... turned out not bad!
