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.

The Simple Things Card

I really love the sentiment on this card, it's from Our Daily Bread Designs, Little Things,Item D298.  They are rubber stamps and as long as I use a ruled block, I have no problem getting them aligned.

Papers are from Hobby Lobby's The Paper Studio, Tattered and Worn pad.  I love their pads, especially when they are half off!  The dies used are Spellbinders Labels 5 and Fleur De Lis Accents.  Bling is from Want to Scrap,  Ribbon is American Crafts and the flower, button and floss was from my stash.

Have a great day!

Momma's Birthday Card

Hi there, it has been a while.  But I'm Back and hope to continue more postings.  I've been dabbling in a few other mediums and will share some of that later.  I always make my Mom a one of a kind card and don't repeat it for anyone else.  Here's what I came up with this year.

Been loving Stephanie Bernard's Stamps of Life Dies lately.  Cards go together fast and I have rather large collection of dies from many sources so mixing and matching is fun!  This card uses dies from Sizzix, Memory Box and Spellbinders.  I know, there is a lot of little pieces here.  I like to sit with a lot of scraps and cut out bunches so when I need them I have a little pile to choose from.  From Memory Box I used Amira Flourish, from Sizzix, 3-D Scallop with Gifts Drop-ins, Greetings Scalloped Edge Drop-ins and from Spellbinders, Spiral Blossom One, and the leaves are also Spellbinders.

The sentiment is from the Silhouette Store and cut using my Cameo.  The pearls are bulk bling from Want2Scrap.

Have a great day!

Photo Shoot

Isn't he adorable?  Yes, I'm prejudiced, he's my Grandson, Jacob.

Well Jacob, his Mom Sara, his Aunt Ellie and Me (Mimi) set out to take some pictures of this little handsome man.  Yes, it took 3 of us.  Mainly because I was still recovering from surgery.

Echo Park's Times and Seasons line has moustache paper, perfect for this layout, in fact all the papers on this are from this line with the exception of the journaling spot.  It was made using brown kraft card stock and Spellbinders Labels 18 with bling from Want2Scrap.

EK Success Border punch was used on the navy blue and finally I had a bit of black tulle that I tied in a bow.

Pop Up Birthday Card

Had to wait til today to post this one.  My Niece, Kendall celebrated her 16th birthday today and didn't want her to see it before hand.  What you don't see is the gift card the slides right behind the pink portion.  There is a slot that holds cards upright.

All paper products are from KI Memories.  The Pop Up is made using a die from Sizzix.

If you have looked at previous entries on my blog you will recognize the dies that have the sentiments stamped on.  I seem to always reach for this Spellbinders Die - Label 20.  For the inside mat I traced the outline of the die with an exacto knife to get a tight mat.

The bling on the front of the card is from Want2Scrap.  Love how they coordinate with Spellbinders.

Card using Teresa Collins

I've been crafting a little more and making some cards.  This one is done using Everyday Moments from Teresa Collins.

The die cut is Spellbinders Fancy Tags 3 and the pearls on the die are from Want2Scrap.  The pearls along the bottom are from Michaels Recollections.

Simple card, easy card, fun card!

Thank you Card for my Donor Family

I've been working on sending out thank you notes to some special people and this one is extra special.  It's to my donor family thanking them for their most precious gift of life.  I was able to include a photo of me, I chose one taken on my last birthday.

I used paper from My Minds Eye, Spellbinders Label 20 and Want2Scrap bling.
