Daddy's Day

I'm sure everyone out there is making Father's Day Cards for those special guys in our lives.  For those of you have Daddies in Heaven, my deepest sympathy!


Here's my Daddy's card. 

I love using my sizzix to make cards, especially those pop up ones.  This time I used Sizzix 657802 Card, Horizontal A2 w/Circle Label 3-D (pop-up) for the base.  Two colors of blue cardstock along with Recollections Turquoise Tiles PP help this one come together.  The Stamps of Life Stitched Rectangles and Stitched Circles are used both inside and out.  I also used Memory Box Mustache die.  For the DAD I used my Silhouette and chose the font Niagra Engraved.  For the inside sentiment JustRite All in the Family Large Sentiments using The Angel Company All American Blue ink.  A bit of ribbon and bling from Want2Scrap helps complete this card.

This card is almost like the last one.

The Mothers Day Card I made in a previous post is very similar to this one.  It was a larger card, 6.5 x 4.5 inches.  This card uses the smaller dies in the Spellbinders Resplendent Rectangles so it fits on a 5.5 x 4.25 inch card.  Papers are from My Minds Eye. I had the green netting in my stash, so I ran it through my Xyron sticker maker.  The flowers are Prima Bubble Green and the corner flower is sitting atop a large clear button.  Queen and Company's Orchid Pearls and Stickles Lime Green add interest as embellishments.  Justrite Stamps Large Fancy Sentiments is stamped with Momento New Sprout dye ink.

Mothers Day Card

Happy Early Mothers Day to all!  This card is for my Mother and I used my brand new Spellbinders Dies  Resplendent Rectangles.  I've been drooling over these dies, seeing wonderful creations by fabulous designers, and had to have them.  They are a bit intricate so I recommend laying wax paper under the paper you are cutting in the die so it releases easily.  The sentiment is from Justrite Stampers All in the Family Large Sentiments.  The paper was a scrap I had, I think it was from My Minds Eye.  The flowers are from some silk flowers that I pulled apart and the leaves are folded ribbon.

Watch my very first video!

I like to customize my ribbon to match the ink I use on projects.  Below is my first video showing how to dye ribbon.  For this card, I used Basic Greys Green at Heart Paper, Spellbinders Lacy Ovals, Spellbinders Scalloped Ovals, Justrite Stamps Large Fancy Sentiments, Pallete Ink in French Lilac and a Pearl Pen in Cream.

Thanks so much for watching!  I would love to hear your thoughts!

Justrite Stamps Thank you Card

After receiving my new Justrite Stamps in the mail, I had to give them a try!  I made this Thank You Card  with someone very dear in mind.  These angels in our life have been through the ups and downs in life with us.  We recently had some down stuff and as usual, they were there cheering us on and sending prayers and praises up to heaven.

This card was made with Basicgrey Wisteria Collection along with Spellbinders and those Kindness Justrite Stamps.  The corsage pin was made with goodies I already had.
